The prompt

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in documentary-style action: a shaky, urgent handheld camera with quick reframes, cold grey daylight, desaturated natural colour and gritty realism. A woman in a black leather jacket sprints across a city rooftop on an overcast afternoon toward the edge, where a narrow gap separates it from the next building. Low wide shot, the camera tracking alongside her at running pace from the first second. 0–2s: she sprints toward the edge of the roof. 2–4s: she plants her foot on the low ledge and leaps. 4–6s: in slow motion she flies across the gap, the street far below, as a searchlight beam sweeps through the haze behind her. 6–8s: back at full speed, she lands on the next rooftop, rolls and comes up running. Throughout: the camera stays urgent and handheld in cold, grey, desaturated daylight, one continuous take.

Reusable look block

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in documentary-style action: a shaky, urgent handheld camera with quick reframes, cold grey daylight, desaturated natural colour and gritty realism.

Paste this before any scene. If the look needs a light source (neon, streetlights, golden hour), set the time of day to match.

Tip

Set it on an overcast afternoon. Flat grey light is half of the realism.
