Master prompt2,849 characters
Create a wholesome, photorealistic family short, 28 seconds, 16:9, in which two siblings' blanket fort turns into a real spaceship through their imagination, then turns back into a living room. Warm, magical and nostalgic, like a scene from a family adventure film. No danger at all.

CHARACTER A (big sister): about 8 years old, dark brown hair in a ponytail, a yellow sweatshirt with a simple star pattern, grey joggers and striped socks, wearing a cardboard-box 'helmet' with drawn buttons.
CHARACTER B (little brother): about 5, curly black hair, round cheeks, green dinosaur-print pyjamas and fluffy slippers, holding a toy torch.
CHARACTER C (the cat): a fat, calm grey cat with white paws.
All outfits stay the same in every shot, in both the real and the imagined scenes.

SETTING: a cosy living room in the evening: a sofa, a dining chair and a coffee table covered with blankets and pegs to form a fort, cushions inside, warm fairy lights draped over the top, a lamp, toys and books on the floor. In the imagination: the same fort becomes a cosy spaceship cockpit with a curved window, soft glowing buttons and a view of space.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: 35mm lens, kid-height camera, warm amber living-room light, then a cool blue and purple space glow with twinkling stars, smooth push-in transitions, soft film grain, 24 fps.

[00:00-00:04] BUILDING — The siblings drape the last blanket and clip it with a peg; the brother turns on the fairy lights; they high-five.
[00:04-00:08] COUNTDOWN — Inside the fort, the sister presses drawn buttons on her cardboard helmet and counts down with her fingers: three, two, one. The cat sits between them.
[00:08-00:12] TAKE-OFF — The camera pushes in: the fairy lights stretch into streaks of stars, the blanket walls become a curved cockpit window, cushions become glowing control panels.
[00:12-00:16] SPACE — Wide shot: the fort-spaceship (still a patchwork of blankets on the outside) glides past a giant ringed planet; the kids press their faces to the window in awe.
[00:16-00:20] THE CO-PILOT — The cat yawns in a tiny cardboard helmet; a friendly comet passes with a sparkling tail; the brother points his torch at it and laughs.
[00:20-00:24] LANDING — A warm voice from off-screen calls “Dinner time!”; the stars fade back into fairy lights and the cockpit melts back into blankets and cushions.
[00:24-00:28] THE PAYOFF — The siblings crawl out of the fort giggling; the brother looks back and the camera catches one last tiny shooting star inside the fort.

SOUND: living-room ambience, kids' giggles and whispered countdown, a soft whoosh at take-off, gentle space hums and twinkles, the cat's meow, the off-screen 'Dinner time!', a playful orchestral adventure theme.
RULES: wholesome and safe, children fully clothed in the same outfits, no danger, no text, no logos, gentle tone throughout.

Short version (for apps with a character limit)

Short prompt612 characters
Wholesome photoreal family short, 28 s, 16:9: an 8-year-old girl in a yellow star sweatshirt with a cardboard-box helmet and her 5-year-old brother in dinosaur pyjamas build a blanket fort with fairy lights in a cosy living room. They count down with their grey cat, and the fort turns into a real spaceship: fairy lights stretch into stars, cushions glow like controls, and they glide past a ringed planet and a sparkling comet. When a voice calls “Dinner time!” it melts back into blankets, and one tiny shooting star stays inside. Warm amber to blue-purple space glow, 35mm, playful orchestral music, no text.

Tips for each AI model

Model What to do
Sora 2 Sora handles magical transitions well; describe the take-off transformation step by step (lights, walls, cushions).
Veo 3.1 Generate the real-room scenes and the space scenes separately, repeating the kids' outfit lines word for word.
Runway Gen-4 Use references of both kids to keep their faces and outfits identical between the two worlds.

How to make it, step by step

  1. Create the characters. Generate a still of the siblings and cat inside the fort.
  2. Generate the real scenes. Building, countdown and landing in the living room.
  3. Generate the space scenes. Take-off, planet and comet, with the same outfits.
  4. Join with a magic transition. Use a light flash or push-in to move between worlds.

Questions

Can I use photos of my own kids?

Yes, as reference images in tools like Kling or Runway. Only share AI videos of your children if you are comfortable with it, and never use other people's children without permission.

How do I keep the kids looking the same in space?

Repeat the exact outfit descriptions in every prompt and, if possible, use the same reference images.

Is this good for a family channel?

Yes. It is wholesome and gentle. Mark it as 'made for kids' on YouTube only if it is mainly for children.
