Examples
Example input
Example 1 - Silhouette + knife (canonical) camera_label: CAM 03 - KITCHEN REAR location: A modern residential kitchen and rear entryway door. A counter with a knife block, a dining table, and a locked glass-paneled back door leading to a dark yard are visible. anomaly_enter: From the dark backyard outside, a pale, human-shaped shadow slowly blocks the moonlight on the glass door, standing completely still on the porch. No face is visible, just the silhouette. anomaly_build: On the kitchen counter in the foreground, one large kitchen knife slowly and silently slides out of the wooden knife block, resting flat on the counter surface. anomaly_peak: The silhouette outside the door suddenly vanishes in a single frame. The camera feed instantly suffers a heavy digital tracking block glitch and cuts to a gray "SIGNAL LOSS" screen. negative_prompt: monsters, broken glass, loud jump-scare SFX, music, face reveal, gore Example 2 - Only the knife camera_label: CAM 03 - KITCHEN REAR location: Same kitchen; back door stays locked and empty the whole time anomaly_enter: Refrigerator hum only; nothing at the door. anomaly_build: One knife slides out of the block on its own and stops flat on the counter. anomaly_peak: Tracking-block glitch to SIGNAL LOSS gray. negative_prompt: monsters, broken glass, loud jump-scare SFX, music, face reveal, gore
What you should get
Example 1: Dome-cam kitchen - porch silhouette → knife slides out → silhouette vanishes → SIGNAL LOSS. Example 2: Same CAM 03 look - knife-only anomaly → SIGNAL LOSS. Reads as raw residential DVR export.
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.

Common mistakes
- Leaving camera_label, location, anomaly_enter vague - the model then invents placeholders.
- Asking Gemini, Runway, or Firefly for a shorter answer after a long structured prompt - that throws away the format rules.
- Stopping when the first draft appears instead of checking it against the success criteria below.
