For each prompt below, we've included the resulting video to give you a clear picture of what it can achieve. You can copy these prompts directly, but their true power lies in their adaptability. Think of them as templates that you can deconstruct and rebuild to fit your unique vision.

To illustrate this, let's take the popular prompt originally designed for an IKEA-style advertisement. We repurposed it to create a promotional video for "Lava Media" by making a few simple yet impactful tweaks:

• Location: We swapped the original setting for a modern business office.
• Branding: The text on the cardboard box was changed to "Lava Media."
• Camera Angle: We adjusted the perspective to a "corner view between two large windows" for a more dynamic shot.

This simple example demonstrates how you can easily modify a base prompt to generate entirely new and customized content.

Ultra-realistic cinematic macro shot. A clean laboratory setting with warm, moody lighting. A single water droplet slowly falls from a glass pipette onto a cracked, ancient sand-colored clay surface inside a shallow petri dish. As the droplet hits, the camera stays close and focused as ancient Roman stone begins to bubble up and rise, magically forming the iconic structure of the Colosseum in exquisite detail. Timelapse-style organic growth, pieces assembling from the inside outward. Dust particles, light rays, soft focus background. Slow orchestral soundtrack.
