Theme: Based on the user-provided New Year's Eve dinner photos, generate a 15-second cinematic realistic food documentary short film, referencing the style of "A Bite of China." The picture should be widescreen 16:9, 24fps, cinematic color grading with fine grain, focusing on macro and close-up shots, shallow depth of field, realistic steam and oil sheen. The scene is based on the Northern family New Year's Eve dinner kitchen and dining table in the photos, including warm lighting, a wooden dining table, and white porcelain plates and bowls. The chef's hands and forearms are allowed to appear (only hands, not face), with realistic and restrained movements. The editing consists of 8 short, hard-cut shots, each 1.5–2 seconds long. The final shot must show three dishes and dumplings served together. Shot 1: Based on the hot oil sautéing in the photo, fine bubbles and oil ripples on the oil surface, thin steam rising, clean high-light on the pot rim, clear "sizzling" sound heard. Shot 2: Braised pork belly is put into the pot and stir-fried to color, the details of the skin collagen are clear, the oil sheen is real, and the sound of the spatula lightly scraping the pot is heard. Shot 3: Based on the boiled fish in the photo, the steamed fish lid is opened, the fish meat slightly trembles, the aroma rushes out, and steam surges. Shot 4: Peppercorns and dried chili peppers enter the oil instantly, the particles and fibers are clear, the splashing is restrained, and the sense of aroma is strong. Shot 5: Red oil is poured over the boiled fish before serving, forming a ribbon-like flow, tiny oil droplets splash at the landing point, and the heat forms layers. Shot 6: Based on the green vegetables in the photo, the vegetables are stir-fried in the pot, bright green and crisp, thin layers of wok steam rise, and the stir-frying rhythm is clean and neat. Shot 7: Dumplings are taken out of the pot, large and small bubbles in the boiling water are clearly layered, water droplets hang on the surface of the dumplings, and steam rushes out when the lid is lifted. Shot 8: Three dishes and dumplings are served on the table: a plate of oily, reddish-brown braised pork, a large plate of red-oil surging boiled fish, a plate of refreshing, bright green stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of white, plump dumplings; the camera slightly pushes in and freezes for 0.5 seconds, and the steam layers like breathing. Audio: Music weight is highest, must generate documentary soundtrack with the temperament of "A Bite of China": gentle and restrained, with Chinese charm, string/woodwind/light percussion atmosphere; At the same time, there must be clear and real cooking sound effects (sizzling, simmering, boiling, spatula, steam when lifting the lid), and the audio must not be missing. Voiceover (VO) weight is high: Add a low-voiced, restrained Chinese documentary narration (not commercial tone), using short sentences to describe "cooking heat, steam, reunion, and time," without mentioning brands, film titles, or specific place names.
How to work from this case
- Start with the original prompt and identify which subject, camera, and mood phrases drive the output.
- When iterating, change one variable first: lighting, motion, or emotion.
- If references are involved, adjust framing and movement separately for more stable generations.
Editorial handling note
Public prompt pages show edited case notes instead of copy-ready raw text. High-risk, explicit, and brand- or likeness-sensitive entries are filtered from the public library.
