A [WHALE, e.g. humpback] whale breaches in the open ocean at sunrise, its massive body rising through the surface in slow motion, water cascading off its flippers, a huge splash and rolling wave, spray catching orange light, drone camera circling then a cut to a low water-level view, deep booming sounds.

Scale is everything. Add a tiny boat for reference.

What you will get

Your whale breaching at sunrise, its huge body rising through the surface in slow motion, water pouring off its flippers, a massive splash and rolling wave lit orange, filmed by a circling drone and then from water level.

Why it works

A breach is about scale and power, so the prompt shows the whole body leaving the water in slow motion, then the splash and rolling wave. Sunrise light turns the spray orange, and the drone circle and water-level cut give both size and drama. The tiny boat in the tip is the simplest way to tell the viewer how big the whale really is.

Common mistake

The whale looks small.

Fix: As the tip says, add a tiny boat in the distance for scale.

Also watch for
  • The body shape is wrong for the species. Name it and add one feature, such as “humpback with long white flippers and knobbly head”.
  • The splash is missing or tiny. Ask for the whale falling back on its side, throwing up a huge wall of spray.
Try a variation: tail slap

Ask for a slower clip of the whale’s tail rising out of the water and slipping back under, with water streaming off it.
