AI prompt behind the Classy Me effect

This is the exact prompt template Swoopen sends to the AI video model when you use the Classy Me effect. You can study it, tweak it, or copy it into your own workflow.

Take the exact person from the reference photo and place them on a luxurious red carpet at a film premiere — preserve their face, hair, skin tone, age, gender, ethnicity and current clothing EXACTLY, changing only the environment (do NOT change their clothing into an evening gown). Surroundings: a long red carpet extending into deep bokeh, distant camera flashbulbs sparkling softly, warm lounge sconces glowing on either side, elegant velvet ropes, silhouettes of press photographers in the bokeh (keep natural neutral light on the face, no warm editorial cast on the subject). Framed waist-up, shallow depth of field. Then animate naturally for 4 seconds: the subject maintains a graceful gentle smile looking just past the camera; distant flashbulbs sparkle softly in the bokeh; velvet ropes catch faint reflections. Camera: slow 35mm front push-in from medium to close-up over 4 seconds, shallow depth of field. Audio: distant camera shutter clicks, gentle red-carpet ambient murmur, light orchestral string undertone, no dialogue. Photo-real, natural neutral light on the subject's face. No on-screen text, no watermarks, no captions, no logos.
