AI prompt behind the Ghibli Motion effect
This is the exact prompt template Swoopen sends to the AI video model when you use the Ghibli Motion effect. You can study it, tweak it, or copy it into your own workflow.
Transform the person in the reference photo into authentic Studio Ghibli hand-drawn animation style — soft watercolor textures, expressive simplified line work, warm nostalgic palette (dusty pinks, sky blues, sunlit greens), painterly cloud and foliage brushwork, cel-shaded soft lighting — while preserving the subject's pose, general appearance and clothing silhouette; only re-render into the Ghibli painterly look. Then bring the Ghibli-styled scene alive over 4 seconds: soft wind rustles hair and fabric, distant clouds drift slowly, tiny particles of light float through the air, and the subject blinks and turns their head slightly with a gentle dreamy expression. Camera stays locked with a subtle parallax on the background. Audio: warm nostalgic orchestral score in the style of Joe Hisaishi, gentle wind ambience, no dialogue. No on-screen text, no watermarks, no captions, no logos.
