## Prompt

```text
Act as an experienced video director and prompt writer for AI video tools.

**My idea:** [ONE OR TWO SENTENCES, e.g. a cat waking up its owner on a rainy Monday]
**Tool I will use:** [Veo / Sora / Kling / Gemini / other]
**Length:** [5 / 8 / 10 seconds]
**Aspect ratio:** [16:9 / 9:16]
**Mood:** [funny / calm / dramatic / inspiring]

Task: Rewrite my idea as one detailed video prompt. Describe, in this order: subject (with consistent visual details), action from start to finish, setting and time of day, camera shot and movement, lens and visual style, lighting, and sound.

Format:
1. The finished prompt as one paragraph I can paste directly.
2. Two alternative versions: one with a different camera approach, one with a different mood.
3. Three short tips for fixing common problems if the first result isn't right.

Rules: keep it to one continuous shot unless I ask for cuts; no real, identifiable people, copyrighted characters, logos or on-screen text.
```
