Example Prompt: “The Statue of Liberty comes to life playfully: her stern expression softens into a cheerful smile as she steps down from her pedestal, her torch casually tucked under her arm. She strolls through New York streets (keeping her scale giant), causing amusing reactions from tiny pedestrians below. Her crown catches sunlight as she spots an equally gigantic ice cream truck, her tablet now tucked like a purse while she points excitedly at a massive swirled cone. The green patina of her copper dress sways with each step, while her sandaled feet leave gentle imprints in the streets.”
Case Study 4: Animal Movement

Example Prompt: "Time slows as the ethereal Samoyed glides through the sunset-kissed meadow: its cloud-like fur catches every shade of dusk, from honey gold to soft rose. Each paw step creates ripples in the grass like waves in an emerald sea, while scattered light particles dance around its form like fireflies. The dog's movements are ballet-like - floating more than running - as it weaves through the golden hour light beams. Its eyes sparkle with joy, matching the twinkle of the first evening stars appearing above. The sunset continues to paint the scene, casting long, artistic shadows that stretch and dance alongside this snow-white creature in its moment of pure freedom and grace."
Case Study 5: Cinematographic Landscapes

Example Prompt: "Starting from inside a luxurious coastal villa, the camera begins its graceful movement from behind flowing white curtains. As the gentle breeze makes the fabric dance, we slowly drift forward, the curtains gradually revealing glimpses of the majestic seascape like an unveiling ceremony. The camera continues its smooth trajectory through the open window, floating out over the private terrace. Below, turquoise waters lap at the shoreline, while seabirds glide past in graceful arcs. The perspective gradually lifts upward, soaring over the infinity pool that seems to merge with the ocean horizon, creating a seamless blend of manufactured and natural beauty. The morning light catches sea spray and pool mist, creating a ethereal atmosphere as we finally settle on the endless expanse of the ocean view."
