The master prompt
START FRAME (image): A rainy street corner in soft grey light: an orange cat sitting dry under a small red umbrella, and a few steps away a tiny sparrow soaked and shivering on the kerb, gentle cinematic style, puddles reflecting the street light. VIDEO (9:16, 10 seconds): 0–3s — the cat notices the sparrow, tilts his head, and shuffles sideways until the umbrella covers them both. 3–7s — the rain softens; the sparrow fluffs up, shakes off droplets, and hops closer against the cat's warm side. 7–10s — the clouds break; in the first sunlight the sparrow hops up onto the umbrella handle beside the cat — two friends watching the street dry. SOUND: gentle rain patter fading, one warm piano line, a tiny sparrow chirp at the end. NEGATIVE: lingering animal distress, storm horror, lightning scares, text, logos, watermarks.
How to use this prompt
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a photo to use the The Cat Who Shared His Umbrella 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.
Does this prompt need dialogue or captions?
No — it is wordless by design. The story is carried by the shuffle under the umbrella, the softening rain and one piano line, which is exactly why it travels so well across languages. Add text only in your editing app afterwards if you want it, never inside the generation.
