The prompt

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in an amber-and-teal fairy-tale gothic look: warm, candle-like amber light against cold teal shadows, ornate ironwork and carved details, deep layered shadows and a dark storybook mood. A city street in the early evening. A young man in a dark wool coat walks along the sidewalk past shop windows toward a small corner café. Wide shot, the camera tracking sideways beside him at walking pace from the first second. 0–2s: he walks past a row of shop windows. 2–4s: he passes a flower stall and a parked bicycle. 4–6s: he reaches the café and the camera eases to a stop as he does. 6–8s: he opens the café door and steps inside. Throughout: the light stays warm amber against cold teal shadows, one continuous take.

Reusable look block

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in an amber-and-teal fairy-tale gothic look: warm, candle-like amber light against cold teal shadows, ornate ironwork and carved details, deep layered shadows and a dark storybook mood.

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

Tip

Shift the time to early evening so windows and lamps can supply the warm amber against the cooling sky.
