Character recipe 003 / Intermediate

Anime
side-track run.

A profile-led action shot that uses the environment for speed while protecting costume, silhouette, and stride readability.

Prompt recipe

Create an 8-second 16:9 landscape motion video. A cel-shaded anime hero with a consistent costume and silhouette accelerates into a dynamic run cycle and ends in a balanced hero stance. Camera: smooth side-tracking shot with gentle parallax; keep the character profile readable and centered. Motion and timing: fast but legible stride cycle, stable anatomy, strong anticipation, physically coherent follow-through. Scene and light: graphic dusk city layers with three clear depth planes and warm rim light. Continuity: preserve face design, hair shape, costume markings, limb proportions, and line-art style. Avoid: leg swapping, foot sliding, costume mutation, smeared face, random camera rotation, and background flicker.

Direction note

Three simple background planes communicate speed more reliably than a hyper-detailed city. The final stance gives the motion a deliberate endpoint and makes failed generations easier to identify.
