Burning Bridges AI prompt

The Burning Bridges AI prompt

The shot list behind every video we make, word for word. Copy it into any AI video tool that takes a reference photo, or skip it and upload your photo here.

Five shots, ten seconds

Each shot is one beat of the trend, timed so the cheer lands at the end.

  1. 00:00Steps out of the crowd, cup pointed at the lens
  2. 00:02Close-up wave, cup raised, big grin
  3. 00:04Sways to the beat as the room moves
  4. 00:06Hand over the eyes, scanning the room
  5. 00:08Arms up as the whole table cheers

Two versions

Attach your photo as the reference image, paste the prompt and set the length to 10 seconds.

For a person

A vertical 9:16 music-video style party clip, exactly 10 seconds, photoreal live action, handheld cinema camera, warm amber light, light haze, shallow depth of field. Hard cuts between shots. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermarks.
The lead is the person from your reference photo. Use only the subject from the reference image and ignore its background. Keep their face, hair, skin tone and build exactly as in the photo, sharp and recognisable in every shot. They are dressed up for a night out. The lead is the only one who looks like the reference; everyone else is a generic extra and nobody resembles a famous person.
Setting: an opulent private supper club at night: crystal chandeliers, long tables with white cloths and candles, red velvet banquettes, a packed crowd of well-dressed adult guests dancing and cheering.

Shot 1 (0-2s): medium shot, the lead steps forward out of the crowd toward the camera, pointing a silver cup at the lens, a confident grin; the handheld camera backs away.
Shot 2 (2-4s): close-up, the lead waves at the camera with one hand, a silver cup raised in the other hand, big smile, chandelier bokeh behind them.
Shot 3 (4-6s): medium-wide shot, the lead sways and bounces to the beat while the dancing crowd moves around them, the camera slowly circles.
Shot 4 (6-8s): medium close-up, the lead holds one hand flat above their eyes like a visor and scans the room from left to right with a playful searching look.
Shot 5 (8-10s): wide shot from the end of a long dining table, the lead throws both arms up as the whole table jumps to their feet cheering, cups raised.

No sound needed. No dialogue.

For a pet

A vertical 9:16 music-video style party clip, exactly 10 seconds, photoreal live action, handheld cinema camera, warm amber light, light haze, shallow depth of field. Hard cuts between shots. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermarks.
The lead is the animal from your reference photo. Use only the subject from the reference image and ignore its background. Keep its breed, size, coat colour and markings exactly as in the photo, sharp and recognisable in every shot. It wears a small black bow tie. The lead is the only one who looks like the reference; everyone else is a generic extra and nobody resembles a famous person.
Setting: an opulent private supper club at night: crystal chandeliers, long tables with white cloths and candles, red velvet banquettes, a packed crowd of well-dressed adult guests dancing and cheering.

Shot 1 (0-2s): medium shot, the lead trots forward out of the crowd toward the camera, head high, tail wagging; the handheld camera backs away.
Shot 2 (2-4s): close-up, the lead sits up on a red velvet banquette and lifts one paw toward the camera like a wave, a silver cup on the table beside it.
Shot 3 (4-6s): medium-wide shot, the lead bounces happily on the spot while the dancing crowd moves around it, the camera slowly circles.
Shot 4 (6-8s): medium close-up, the lead looks left and then right across the room, ears perked, as if searching for someone.
Shot 5 (8-10s): wide shot from the end of a long dining table, the lead stands up tall with its front paws on the table as the whole table jumps to their feet cheering.

No sound needed. No dialogue.

Getting a good result

  1. 01Use one clear photo: one face, looking at the camera, in good light. The model copies what it can see.
  2. 02Keep the numbered shots and their timings. Models follow numbered shots in order far better than a loose description.
  3. 03Keep the line about extras. It stops the crowd from copying your face or looking like anyone famous.
  4. 04Ask for a silent clip and add the official Burning Bridges sound on TikTok or Reels when you post.

Prompt questions

Which AI video tools does the Burning Bridges prompt work with?

Any tool that makes video from a reference image and a text prompt. Paste the prompt, attach your photo as the reference, and set the length to 10 seconds if the tool lets you. Tools that only take text can’t keep your face.

Why is the prompt written as numbered shots?

Video models keep the order of numbered, timed shots far better than a loose description. Each shot is one beat of the trend, so the video moves through all five in order.

Does the prompt add the song?

No. It asks for a silent clip. Add the official Burning Bridges sound on TikTok or Reels when you post.

Do I need the prompt to use TryBurningBridges?

No. Upload one photo on the home page and we write and run the prompt for you.
