Epic mythology-style trailer shots
This prompt creates epic trailer-style shots of an invented mythological world: an aerial view, a hero on palace steps and a beam of light through storm clouds. It uses original characters rather than real religious figures.
Epic trailer sequence, 16:9, 12 seconds, three shots. Shot 1: aerial shot over [PLACE, e.g. an ancient kingdom of golden temples by a river at sunrise]. Shot 2: low-angle shot of [HERO, e.g. a young warrior in bronze armour with a glowing bow] standing on the palace steps as wind blows his cloak. Shot 3: wide shot as he raises the bow and a beam of light splits the storm clouds. Grand scale, warm gold and deep blue palette, orchestral mood. Invented characters only. No on-screen text.

Keep characters original. Depicting real religious figures can upset viewers, so an invented hero is the safer choice.

A twelve second epic trailer in three shots: an aerial view over your ancient kingdom at sunrise, a low angle on an invented hero on the palace steps with the wind in their cloak, and a wide shot as a beam of light splits storm clouds, in warm gold and deep blue.
Wide, low, wide is the classic trailer rhythm: show the world, show the hero, show the stakes. The gold and blue palette gives grandeur without needing a big battle. The invented characters line keeps the epic mood while avoiding scenes that could upset people who hold these stories sacred.
The hero looks like a real religious figure.
Fix: Keep the character original, as the tip says, with your own armour, weapon and colours, and avoid sacred symbols tied to a real deity.
- The kingdom looks like a European fantasy castle. Describe the architecture you want, such as carved stone temple towers, wide river steps and golden domes.
- The light beam looks like a cheap laser. Ask for a single wide shaft of sunlight breaking through the clouds, with dust and wind swirling in it.
Replace shot 3 with a dark armoured figure on a cliff across the river, lit for one moment by lightning.
