The Capybara Hot Spring

Four capybaras soak blissfully in a steaming outdoor hot spring, each balancing a citrus fruit on its head — until the smallest one climbs in and slowly sinks until only the fruit and two nostrils remain.

The master prompt

START FRAME (image): A rustic outdoor hot-spring pool with gentle steam rising: four large capybaras soaking up to their necks in milky water, each with a small orange citrus fruit balanced on its head, snow-dusted rocks around the edge, soft morning light, photorealistic, gentle deadpan comedy.
VIDEO (9:16, 10 seconds): 0–3s — total bliss: the four soak without moving a whisker, steam drifting, fruits perfectly balanced. 3–6s — a small young capybara wades in with a splash, its tiny fruit wobbling wildly, and settles between the adults, who glance sideways once. 6–10s — the youngster sinks slowly, slowly… until only its fruit and two nostrils stay above the water; one bubble pops beside them; the eldest capybara calmly closes its eyes again.
SOUND: gentle bubbling spring water, one soft splash, distant birdsong, a single tiny bubble “bloop” at the end.
NEGATIVE: animals in distress, splashing chaos, the fruit multiplying or falling in early, humans in the pool, text, logos, watermarks.

How to use this prompt

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a photo to use the The Capybara Hot Spring prompt?

No. This is a text-only prompt — copy it into your AI video tool exactly as written. If you want a locked-in opening frame, generate a still from the start-frame description first, then run the same text as an image-to-video clip.

Which AI video tools does this prompt work with?

Any modern AI video generator — Google Flow (Veo), Kling, Runway or Luma. Paste the full prompt, set a vertical 9:16 frame and a 10-second duration, and generate. The timed beats, sound notes and negative prompt are written to work as-is in all of them.

What if the capybaras move too much and the joke gets lost?

The comedy lives in the stillness, so protect it: if a roll comes out splashy, add “slow lazy movement only, everyone stays calm” to the prompt and regenerate. Keep the sinking slow as well — the fruit and nostrils should disappear over a full three seconds, not in one dip.
