AI prompt behind the Rebel Shadow effect

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

Static locked medium shot. The subject from the reference photo stands leaning casually against a sunlit brick wall. 0-2s the subject gives a confident nod and waves smoothly at the camera. 2-6s the subject takes a step forward off the wall, but their dark cast shadow completely disobeys physics, remaining perfectly frozen behind them before magically peeling off the flat bricks to step into the real world as a 3D silhouette. 6-8s the 3D shadow figure reaches into its dark outline pocket and politely extends its hand, offering the subject a brilliantly glowing neon rose. 8-10s the subject carefully takes the rose, smiling in absolute disbelief at the camera, while the shadow figure takes a theatrical, sweeping bow. Ambient city street sounds paired with a mystical synth-wave swell. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
