Midjourney v6
Built By Midjourney
The undisputed king of artistic, conceptual, and highly-detailed photorealistic static images. If you need a still frame with perfect aesthetic composition, this is the gold standard.
9.5/10 — Industry leader for prompt adherence and micro-details.
Concept Art, Photorealism, Editorial Fashion, Text rendering.
Basic ($10/mo) • Standard ($30/mo) • Pro ($60/mo)
Prompting Strategy
- 1Use natural, descriptive language.
- 2Detail the focal point immediately.
- 3Specify aesthetic terms (e.g., 'editorial photography', 'macro shot', 'minimalist').
- 4Use parameters like --ar 16:9 for aspect ratio or --style raw for less stylization.
Master Example
"Editorial photography of a futuristic fashion model wearing a holographic jacket, dramatic studio lighting, harsh shadows, Vogue style, ultra-detailed --ar 4:5 --style raw --v 6"
Sora
Built By OpenAI
The heaviest lifter in AI video. Known for extreme temporal consistency, cinematic camera movements, and world-model simulation capabilities.
9/10 — Peerless temporal consistency, but struggles with complex physics interactions.
Cinematic establishing shots, Drone flyovers, Complex character movements.
Included in ChatGPT Plus / Pro ($20/mo to $200/mo APIs limits).
Prompting Strategy
- 1Start with the core action and subject.
- 2Define the camera movement explicitly (e.g., 'A slow tracking shot', 'drone flyover').
- 3Specify the film stock or lighting (e.g., 'Shot on 35mm film', 'golden hour lighting').
- 4End with environmental context to ground the scene.
Master Example
"A cinematic tracking shot following a neon-lit cyberpunk car speeding down a wet Tokyo street at midnight, reflections of pink and cyan lights on the puddles, hyper-realistic, shot on RED monstro."
Veo 3
Built By Google
Highly realistic, physically accurate video generation. Google's answer to Sora, focusing extremely heavily on how objects interact and move within space.
8.5/10 — Phenomenal liquid and cloth physics, highly responsive to natural text.
Physics simulations (water, fire), Close-up macro action, Fluid dynamics.
Varies via Google Vertex AI / Workspace integration.
Prompting Strategy
- 1Focus heavily on the physics and movement.
- 2Use descriptive verbs for action (e.g., 'water splashing', 'fabric billowing').
- 3Keep the prompt linear: Subject -> Action -> Environment -> Lighting.
- 4Veo 3 responds well to natural language rather than keyword dumping.
Master Example
"A close-up shot of a glass of milk spilling on a marble countertop in slow motion, morning sunlight streaming through a window, highly detailed liquid simulation."
Runway Gen-3 Alpha
Built By Runway
Fast, highly controllable video generation. The best choice for editors who need image-to-video looping, rapid iteration, and direct VFX integrations.
8/10 — Incredible Image-to-Video fidelity, sometimes hallucinates on Text-to-Video.
Image-to-Video motion, Fast Drafts, Stylized VFX, Commercial B-Roll.
Standard ($15/mo) • Pro ($35/mo) • Unlimited ($95/mo)
Prompting Strategy
- 1Specify motion speed (e.g., 'slow motion', 'timelapse').
- 2Detail the camera angle (e.g., 'low angle', 'birds-eye view').
- 3Keep subjects relatively simple for best temporal consistency.
- 4Use image-to-video for maximum control over the initial composition.
Master Example
"A low angle shot of an astronaut walking slowly across a desolate martian landscape, dust blowing in the wind, cinematic depth of field, 24fps."
The Anatomy of a Cohesive Prompt
1. The Subject
The core focus of your generation. Be specific about attributes like clothing, material, age, ethnicity, and positioning.
2. The Action (Video)
What is the subject doing? Use precise verbs. "Walking briskly", "staring intensely", "shattering into pieces".
3. Camera / Format
Dictate the view. "Medium shot", "macro photography", "drone tracking shot", "GoPro footage". This defines the spatial relationship.
4. The Environment
Where is the subject? "A rainy cyberpunk alley", "a sterile minimal laboratory", "an endless desert at dusk".
5. Lighting / Quality
Lighting makes or breaks the execution. "Volumetric fog", "cinematic rim lighting", "harsh flash photography", "8k resolution".
