Learn scenes, camera movement and sound, then practise your own ideas.
LLMAPI ACADEMY
LLMAPI video lessons · Your first shot
Learn to describe scenes, camera movement and sound through examples. Start with one clear action, then use the practice prompts to explore your own ideas.
WATCH, COMPARE, THEN PRACTISE
12 seconds. Three directing choices.

Turn your observations into a practice
Use this prompt to practise your chosen emotion, camera and sound cue. Try changing the character and setting to create your own version.
Video examples · Watch and listen
Explore movement, transformations, space and sound in nine examples. Watch first, then use the exercises below to put your ideas into prompts.

1Choose your input
Use text alone, or add a first frame to guide appearance. Use first and last frames when both endpoints matter.
2Start with 5 seconds
Choose an aspect ratio and resolution. Try one subject and one action; check the estimate and available balance.
3Watch, then refine
Review the subject, direction, contact and cause-and-effect. Change one instruction at a time to learn what helps.
Start with who does what. Set aspect ratio, duration and resolution with the studio controls.
Example: rainy-night cycling
01 · Give each subject a motion
Describe subject and environment separately. Establish one direction before adding opposing motion.
Check direction, background motion and contact with the ground.

One continuous five-second shot. After an evening rain, a cyclist rides slowly from left to right. The camera tracks in the same direction as roadside shops pass naturally to the left. Warm lights reflect in puddles; the wheels remain in contact with the road. Realistic cinematic style, subtle wheel sounds and distant city ambience, no text.
Example: ink-drop perfume
02 · Describe the stages of change
Describe visible starting, intermediate and final states. Allow time for each transition.
Check for continuous changes, sudden appearances and unwanted cuts.
View the practice prompt
A continuous five-second macro shot. A drop of golden honey descends onto a white ceramic plate, spreads smoothly on contact, then settles into a rounded pool. Locked camera, soft side lighting, transparent viscous honey. Clean background with no other objects, cuts, text or speech.
Example: four seasons in a cup
03 · Keep the frame consistent
Specify which objects stay unchanged and confine the transformation to one area.
Check stability of the rim, handle, table and camera.
View the practice prompt
One continuous five-second shot with a locked camera. A white teacup in the centre of a wooden table keeps its shape and position. Fine steam rises from the hot tea, curls gently above the rim and dissipates. Morning window light illuminates the steam against a soft background. Realistic materials, quiet room ambience, no text.
Example: glass rain ensemble
04 · Match sound to action
Name the source of the sound and the moment it occurs. Start with a single impact.
Check that sound follows contact, rather than arriving before impact.
View the practice prompt
One continuous five-second close-up. A small brass bell stands on a table. A hand approaches slowly from the right, gently taps the clapper once halfway through the shot, then withdraws. A clear ring occurs at contact and gradually fades. Locked camera, warm indoor light, quiet background, no music or text.
Loading a practice only fills the form; it does not submit a job or charge your wallet. Sound and camera instructions express intent; inspect the result for adherence.
