AI prompt behind the Matcha Helix effect

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

Slow push-in camera movement, single continuous take. The subject from the reference photo sits at a sunlit minimalist wooden table, hosting a lifestyle vlog while preparing matcha. 0-2s she looks at the camera with a bright, welcoming smile, holding a bamboo whisk in a rustic ceramic bowl. 2-4s she begins whisking the green liquid briskly, explaining her morning routine with lively hand gestures. 4-6s she speeds up her whisking, her expression turning playful and highly focused. 6-8s the liquid suddenly defies gravity—a perfect, glowing green helix of matcha spirals up out of the bowl and floats spinning in mid-air right in front of her. 8-10s she drops the whisk in shock, grabs a clear glass cup, neatly catches the floating liquid helix, and takes a triumphant sip with a wink. Crisp morning kitchen ambiance, gentle lo-fi beat, friendly English voice-over. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
