AI prompt behind the Sudden Gale effect

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

The subject from the reference photo starts casually standing on solid ground, facing the camera. Unexpectedly, a massive, continuous blast of wind hits the subject directly from the front. The subject's hair and clothing whip violently backwards in the gale. The subject steps one foot back to brace themselves, leaning their body weight forward into the invisible wind stream while raising one arm to shield their face. The camera performs a single, slow push-in toward the subject's determined expression. The wind continues relentlessly until the end of the clip. Audio expectation: Dramatic cinematic swells mixed with the heavy, roaring sound of a powerful windstorm.
