What makes a good vintage and retro prompt
Retro prompts name an era or a feel. Describe the objects, the warm faded colour and a slow camera move.
Prompts to copy and change
- A 1960s diner with neon signs and a jukebox, warm faded colours, slow push-in
- A vintage record player spinning in warm lamplight, close-up
- An old Polaroid camera on a wooden table with sun streaming through a window
- A classic car parked on a quiet street at golden hour, camera slowly orbiting
- A film projector beam in a dark room with dust floating, camera gliding
- A retro kitchen with pastel appliances and soft morning light, slow pan
Add a voiceover to your vintage and retro video
Switch Sound to Voiceover and paste a script. Each example below shows what it would cost.
- "Some things are just better the old way. Welcome to our little time capsule." That script is 14 words, so the video falls in the "6–10 seconds" length and costs 2 credits in Full HD or 4 credits in 4K.
- "Records, coffee and conversations that last. Step inside and take a seat at our retro corner." That script is 16 words, so the video falls in the "6–10 seconds" length and costs 2 credits in Full HD or 4 credits in 4K.
Tips
- Name the era or a decade
- Faded, warm colour words
- Calm or Cinematic music
