Prompt

Early-2000s home video filmed on a consumer DV camcorder by a friend: a group of adult friends in a small flat sing to a woman as she blows out the candles on a strawberry cake. Write the camera's flaws into it: autofocus hunting, exposure jumping when the lights switch on, handheld shake, a slightly soft image and a date stamp "OCT 19 2003" in the corner. Keep the story small and real, with natural laughter.

Prompts stay in English, the language these models follow best. Copy it as it is, or change a few words.

  1. Early-2000s home video filmed on a consumer DV camcorder sets the whole feel of the shot. Swap it for another camera style to change the vibe.
  2. Keep autofocus hunting, exposure jumping word for word. That phrase is what gives this result its look.
  3. This is a fill-in template: swap the parts in braces, like {moment}, in the boxes above and keep the rest word for word.
