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.

The Ghibli-styled scene comes alive: 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. Warm nostalgic orchestral score in the style of Joe Hisaishi, gentle wind ambience, no dialogue.
