The Prompt

cctv-parking-garage.md

Style: Real found-footage CCTV, raw security camera archive footage, low-quality surveillance feed. Slightly distorted wide-angle lens, high ceiling-mounted column bracket. Low-contrast desaturated color palette, subtle digital scanlines, timestamp overlay in corner. No camera movement, completely static frame.

Lighting: Dim, sodium-vapor overhead lights casting a sickly pale yellow glow. Massive, high-contrast shadows thrown behind concrete pillars and parked vehicles. Heavy digital noise and sensor grain in the unlit background.

Location: {{location}}

Audio: Low, deep rumble of the building's ventilation system, a distant drip of water echoing off concrete.

Chronological Storyline:
0-3 sec: Static view of the silent parking garage. Massive shadows loom behind the pillars. Nothing moves.
3-6 sec: {{anomaly_enter}}
6-8 sec: {{anomaly_build}}
8-10 sec: {{anomaly_peak}}

Strict Constraints: {{negative_prompt}}

Examples

Example input

Example 1 - Hazard lights + door (canonical) location: An empty underground concrete parking garage at night. Rows of painted parking bays, thick support pillars, and one or two dusty, parked sedans are visible in the background. anomaly_enter: In the middle ground, the hazard lights of one parked car slowly start blinking on and off by themselves, casting rhythmic yellow flashes across the concrete floor. anomaly_build: A dark, viscous liquid slowly begins to pool out from underneath the driver-side door of the blinking car, spreading slowly across the concrete. anomaly_peak: The car's driver-side door abruptly pops open by a few inches, and the overhead garage lights violently flicker and go completely dark. The CCTV feed cuts to static-filled black. negative_prompt: visible monsters, sudden screams, music, stylized camera angles, gore Example 2 - Elevator lobby off the garage location: Concrete parking garage elevator lobby with closed stainless doors and a call button anomaly_enter: Elevator call button presses itself, lighting yellow. anomaly_build: Doors slide open onto a pitch-black elevator shaft. anomaly_peak: Something blocks the light sensor; doors struggle and fail to close as feed glitches to black. negative_prompt: visible monsters, sudden screams, music, stylized camera angles, gore

What you should get

Example 1: Garage CCTV - hazards blink → liquid pool → door pops → lights die → static black. Example 2: Elevator-lobby variant - self-call → black shaft → doors fail → glitch. Raw authentic garage surveillance look.

How to use this AI photo prompt

  1. Upload a clear reference photo of your face (well-lit, front-facing works best).
  2. Fill any placeholders on this page, then tap Copy Prompt.
  3. Paste into Gemini (also works with Runway, Firefly) and generate.
  4. 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.

When to use this prompt

Use it when

  • You need help with urban found footage.
  • You need help with gemini omni.

Skip it when

  • You only need a one-line ask with no constraints, format, or context.
  • You cannot supply the fill-in details the template asks for.
  • You want a modern digital look or heavy filter effect instead of the era/style this prompt targets.

How to get a good result

Done when

Example 1: Garage CCTV - hazards blink → liquid pool → door pops → lights die → static black. Example 2: Elevator-lobby variant - self-call → black shaft → doors fail → glitch. Raw authentic garage surveillance look.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving location, anomaly_enter, anomaly_build 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.
