Examples
Example input
Example 1 - Gate + swing (canonical) camera_label: CAM 04 - BACK GARDEN location: A residential backyard garden at night. A manicured lawn, a wooden garden gate in the background, a small wooden child's swing set, and dense shrubbery are visible. anomaly_enter: In the background, the locked wooden garden gate slowly unlatches and swings wide open against the wind, creaking silently into the dark alleyway beyond. anomaly_build: On the lawn in the center of the frame, the child's empty swing slowly starts to swing back and forth, pumping higher as if someone is sitting on it, though no one is visible. anomaly_peak: A sudden burst of static and visual snow disrupts the feed. During the glitch, the motion-sensor floodlight turns off, plunging the yard into deep shadow before the video cuts to black. negative_prompt: monsters, ghosts walking around, cheap jumpscares, dramatic music, visible person on the swing Example 2 - Gate only camera_label: CAM 04 - BACK GARDEN location: Same backyard; swing stays still the entire time anomaly_enter: Locked wooden gate unlatches and swings open against the wind. anomaly_build: Gate stays open; wind moves leaves only. anomaly_peak: Floodlight cuts; feed snows out to black. negative_prompt: monsters, ghosts walking around, cheap jumpscares, dramatic music, visible person on the swing
What you should get
Example 1: Back-garden bullet cam - gate opens against wind → empty swing pumps → floodlight dies in static. Example 2: Gate-only tension → black. Invisible force, no walking ghost.
How to use this AI photo prompt
- Upload a clear reference photo of your face (well-lit, front-facing works best).
- Fill any placeholders on this page, then tap Copy Prompt.
- Paste into Gemini (also works with Runway, Firefly) and generate.
- Keep your face locked - only wardrobe, pose, and scene should change.
Privacy: If you attach a face reference, do it in the AI tool. Codextroop Prompt Library never receives or stores your photos.
Works best with Gemini / Runway / Firefly
Identity-preserving image-to-image prompts need a strong face reference. Avoid heavy beauty filters on the upload and use the negative prompt when your tool supports it.
Tips for better found footage results
- Match the example aspect ratio when your tool allows it (often 4:5 for portraits).
- If the face drifts, re-upload a sharper photo and keep the same prompt text.
- Copy related found footage prompts below to try alternate looks with the same identity lock.

- Asking Gemini, Runway, or Firefly for a shorter answer after a long structured prompt - that throws away the format rules.
