Handheld Video Prompts
Natural camera shake and on-the-ground perspective. Works well for documentary realism and high-energy scenes.
Best practices
- -Describe one action per shot to keep motion clean.
- -Call out the camera move to match the style.
- -Repeat lighting cues across the sequence.
Failures & fixes
- -If motion drifts, simplify the action and reduce adjectives.
- -If style fades, restate the style lock in each shot.
- -If framing changes, move camera cues to the first sentence.

Handheld style prompt guidance
A handheld prompt is a style lock plus a shot list. The style lock sets camera language and lighting, and each shot then keeps one action beat. This is how you turn a simple idea into a reliable ai video generator prompt with consistent visual tone.
Use the model variants above to see how the same style transfers between Sora, Veo, Kling, and Seedream. When you copy a pack, keep the style lock identical and only change the subject or location. That approach produces cleaner ai video generator prompts and faster iteration.
This page is also a quick reference for camera language tied to the style. If the style feels weak, add one more lighting cue and repeat it across the shot list. That keeps the visual tone aligned from the first frame to the final beat.
