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

Synchronized push-in camera. The subject from the reference photo stands at a medium distance in a modern room, looking directly at the viewer. 0-2s he smirks, gestures 'come here' with one hand, then mimes grabbing a heavy, invisible rope attached to the camera. 2-4s he plants his feet and gives a hard, theatrical pull, causing the camera to physically lurch forward a few feet. 4-6s he pulls hand-over-hand twice more, straining playfully as the camera violently pushes in closer with each tug. 6-8s he gives one final, massive heave, dragging the camera into an extreme close-up right in front of his face. 8-10s he lets go of the 'rope', panting slightly, then breaks into a triumphant smirk and a charming wink. Heavy rope stretching sfx + rhythmic hip-hop beat. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
