cinematic-mirror-reflection-generator

What it does

This prompt instructs an AI video generator to produce a short, hyper-realistic cinematic mirror-shot sequence of a specified character performing a specified grooming or self-adjustment action, framed chest-up with both the subject and their synchronized reflection visible under bright, clean lighting against a dark background. The intended result is an intimate, modern-feeling clip with subtle handheld camera micro-movement, accurate mirror behavior and lighting consistency, faithful preservation of the character’s appearance from an input image, and action-matched natural sound effects with no music, text, logos, or stylized/CGI elements.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Variable key	Required?	Description	Defaults
action	Optional	Describe what the character is doing in front of the mirror	applying lip gloss
character_description	Optional	Describe the person’s appearance, style, and mood	a young woman with long wavy brown hair wearing a black tank top

Models and options

This skill's modality is: video.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "video".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "video" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
  • action (default: applying lip gloss)
  • character_description (default: a young woman with long wavy brown hair wearing a black tank top)
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model sora-2 and its available options. Look up sora-2 in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "video") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model sora-2, options {"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use cinematic-mirror-reflection-generator).

Command form:

betterprompt generate cinematic-mirror-reflection-generator \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: sora-2.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate cinematic-mirror-reflection-generator \
  --input 'action=applying lip gloss' \
  --input 'character_description=a young woman with long wavy brown hair wearing a black tank top' \
  --model sora-2 \
  --options '{"seconds":"4","size":"720x1280"}'
