Chapter 1: Understanding Prompts

What is a Prompt?

A prompt is a text input that you give to an AI language model to get a specific response. Think of it as a question, instruction, or request that guides the AI's output.

Basic Example:

Prompt: "What is the capital of France?"
AI Response: "The capital of France is Paris."

Why Prompts Matter

Quality In = Quality Out: Better prompts lead to better responses
Efficiency: Good prompts save time and iterations
Precision: Specific prompts yield specific results
Control: Prompts let you guide AI behavior

Types of Basic Prompts

1. Question Prompts

Direct questions seeking information

"What are the main causes of climate change?"
"How does photosynthesis work?"

2. Instruction Prompts

Commands telling the AI what to do

"Explain quantum physics in simple terms"
"List the top 10 programming languages"

3. Completion Prompts

Starting something for the AI to finish

"The three branches of government are..."
"A healthy breakfast should include..."

Your First Prompts

Exercise 1.1: Basic Questions

Try these simple prompts:

1. "Explain photosynthesis in simple terms"
2. "List 5 benefits of exercise"
3. "What are the primary colors?"

Exercise 1.2: Adding Context

Compare these prompts:

Poor: "Write about dogs"
Better: "Write a 200-word paragraph about the benefits of dogs as family pets"

Chapter 2: The Anatomy of a Good Prompt

Essential Components

1. Clear Instructions

Tell the AI exactly what you want it to do.

Example: "Summarize the following text in 3 bullet points:"

2. Context

Provide background information when needed.

Example: "As a fitness trainer, explain why stretching is important before workouts."

3. Format Specification

Define how you want the output structured.

Example: "Create a numbered list of 10 healthy breakfast ideas."

4. Constraints

Set boundaries for the response.

Example: "Explain quantum physics in exactly 100 words using simple language."

The CLEAR Framework

C - Clear instructions L - Length specifications
E - Examples when helpful A - Audience consideration R - Role definition

CLEAR Example:

2. Chain-of-Thought Prompting

Ask the AI to show its reasoning:

"Solve this step by step:
A store offers a 20% discount on all items. If a shirt originally costs $50, and there's an additional 10% tax on the discounted price, what's the final amount a customer pays?

Please show your work step by step."

3. Role-Playing Prompts

Assign specific personas to the AI:

"You are a senior software engineer with 10 years of experience in Python development. 
A junior developer asks you: 'What's the difference between a list and a tuple in Python, and when should I use each?'
Respond as this experienced engineer would, with practical examples and best practices."

4. Comparative Prompting

Ask for comparisons and contrasts:

"Compare and contrast remote work vs. office work across these dimensions:
- Productivity

2. Use different starting assumptions or methodologies
3. Maintain logical rigor in each path
4. Document intermediate steps clearly

Consistency Evaluation:
- Compare final answers across all paths
- Identify convergent reasoning patterns
- Analyze divergent points for validity
- Select solution with highest cross-path agreement

Example - Mathematical Problem:
Problem: 'When I was 6, my sister was half my age. Now I'm 70. How old is my sister?'

Path 1: Age difference calculation
- Sister was 3 when I was 6 (difference = 3 years)
- Age difference remains constant
- Sister is now 70 - 3 = 67

Path 2: Proportional analysis
- Sister was 50% of my age at 6
- This proportion changes over time
- Current calculation: Sister is 67 (not 35)

Path 3: Timeline verification
- 64 years have passed since I was 6
- Sister has also aged 64 years
- Sister is now 3 + 64 = 67

Consistent Answer: 67 years old
Confidence: High (3/3 paths converge)"

PEFT Fundamentals and Techniques

Mastering efficient model adaptation and customization:

Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning Framework:

"Optimize model performance with minimal computational overhead:

1. PEFT Core Concepts
   Understanding Efficient Model Adaptation:
   'PEFT enables model customization without full retraining:
   
   Traditional Fine-Tuning Challenges:
   - Requires updating all model parameters (billions)
   - Massive computational and memory requirements
   - Risk of catastrophic forgetting
   - High storage costs for multiple task-specific models
   - Limited accessibility due to resource demands
   
   PEFT Advantages:
   - Updates only 0.1-3% of parameters
   - 10-100x reduction in memory requirements
   - Preserves original model knowledge
   - Multiple task adapters from single base model
   - Accessible on consumer hardware'

2. Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA)
   Efficient Weight Matrix Decomposition:
   'Master LoRA for practical model adaptation:
   
   LoRA Architecture:
   "Core LoRA implementation principles:
   
   Mathematical Foundation:
   - Original weight matrix: W ∈ ℝ^(d×k)
   - LoRA decomposition: ΔW = B·A
   - Where B ∈ ℝ^(d×r), A ∈ ℝ^(r×k), r << min(d,k)
   - Updated weights: W' = W + α·B·A
   - Rank r typically 4-64 for optimal efficiency
   
   LoRA Configuration:
   'Optimize LoRA hyperparameters:
   - Rank (r): Balance between efficiency and performance
   - Alpha (α): Scaling factor for adaptation strength
   - Target modules: Query, key, value, output projections
   - Dropout: Regularization for stable training
   - Learning rate: Typically 1e-4 to 5e-4'
   
   LoRA Implementation:
   ```python
   # LoRA Configuration Example
   from peft import LoraConfig, get_peft_model
   
   lora_config = LoraConfig(
       r=16,                    # Rank
       lora_alpha=32,          # Scaling factor
       target_modules=[        # Target attention layers
           "q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj"
       ],
       lora_dropout=0.1,       # Regularization
       bias="none",            # Bias handling
       task_type="CAUSAL_LM"   # Task type
   )
   
   # Apply LoRA to base model

   # Training parameters
   trainable_params = sum(p.numel() for p in model.parameters() if p.requires_grad)
   total_params = sum(p.numel() for p in model.parameters())
   print(f"Trainable: {trainable_params:,} ({100*trainable_params/total_params:.2f}%)")

   - Double quantization for additional compression
   - Paged optimizers for memory management
   - 16-bit LoRA adapters for precision
   - Gradient checkpointing for memory efficiency
   
   QLoRA Implementation:
   ```python

## Image Prompting Mastery

### Introduction to Image Prompting

Image prompting is the art and science of crafting textual descriptions that guide AI image generation models to create specific visual outputs. Unlike text-based AI interactions, image prompting requires understanding visual composition, artistic techniques, and the unique capabilities of different image generation platforms.

**Key Image Generation Platforms:**
- **DALL-E 3**: OpenAI's flagship model, excellent for detailed descriptions and photorealistic images
- **Midjourney**: Known for artistic and stylized outputs with powerful parameter controls
- **Stable Diffusion**: Open-source model with extensive customization options
- **Adobe Firefly**: Commercial-focused with built-in safety features
- **Google Imagen**: Advanced model with superior text rendering capabilities

### Beginner Level: Image Prompting Fundamentals

#### Basic Image Prompt Structure

Every effective image prompt contains these core elements:

[Subject] + [Action/Pose] + [Environment/Setting] + [Style/Mood] + [Technical Specifications]


**Example Progression:**
- Basic: "A cat"
- Better: "A fluffy orange cat sitting"
- Good: "A fluffy orange cat sitting on a windowsill, sunlight streaming through"
- Excellent: "A fluffy orange tabby cat sitting peacefully on a wooden windowsill, golden hour sunlight streaming through lace curtains, cozy home atmosphere, soft natural lighting"

#### Essential Descriptive Categories

**Subject Description:**
- Physical attributes (age, gender, appearance)
- Clothing and accessories
- Facial expressions and emotions
- Body language and positioning

**Environmental Elements:**
- Location and setting
- Time of day and season
- Weather conditions
- Background elements

**Visual Style:**
- Art medium (photography, painting, illustration)
- Color palette and mood
- Lighting conditions
- Artistic movement or style reference

#### Common Beginner Mistakes

1. **Vague Descriptions**: "A beautiful landscape" vs. "A misty mountain valley at sunrise with pine trees and a flowing river"

2. **Conflicting Elements**: Mixing incompatible styles or impossible scenarios

3. **Overcomplication**: Using too many competing elements in a single prompt

4. **Ignoring Composition**: Not considering how elements will be arranged in the frame

#### Beginner Image Prompting Exercises

**Exercise 1: Progressive Detail Building**
Start with a simple subject and progressively add detail:
1. "A dog"
2. "A golden retriever"
3. "A golden retriever playing in a park"
4. "A golden retriever joyfully catching a frisbee in a sunny park with green grass and oak trees"

**Exercise 2: Style Exploration**
Take the same subject and explore different styles:
- "A rose, photorealistic"
- "A rose, watercolor painting"
- "A rose, digital art"
- "A rose, vintage botanical illustration"

### Intermediate Level: Advanced Image Prompting Techniques

#### Platform-Specific Optimization

**DALL-E 3 Techniques:**
- Excels with detailed, narrative descriptions
- Responds well to specific artistic references
- Handles complex scenes with multiple subjects
- Best practices: Use natural language, be conversational

Example: "Create a whimsical scene of a small fairy village nestled among giant mushrooms in an enchanted forest. The fairy houses should have glowing windows, tiny bridges connecting them, and bioluminescent plants providing magical lighting. Style should be reminiscent of Arthur Rackham illustrations with rich, earthy colors."


**Midjourney Optimization:**
- Responds to artistic and stylistic keywords
- Powerful parameter system for fine control
- Excellent for conceptual and artistic imagery

Basic Prompt: "ethereal portrait of a woman with flowing hair, surrounded by butterflies"

With Parameters: "ethereal portrait of a woman with flowing hair, surrounded by butterflies --ar 2:3 --stylize 750 --chaos 25"


**Key Midjourney Parameters:**
- `--ar` (aspect ratio): Controls image dimensions (1:1, 16:9, 2:3, etc.)
- `--stylize` (0-1000): Controls artistic interpretation
- `--chaos` (0-100): Adds variation and unpredictability
- `--quality` (0.25, 0.5, 1): Adjusts rendering time and detail
- `--seed`: Ensures reproducible results
- `--no`: Negative prompting to exclude elements

**Stable Diffusion Techniques:**
- Supports negative prompts for precise control
- Extensive model ecosystem for specialized outputs
- Advanced techniques like ControlNet and inpainting

Positive Prompt: "professional headshot of a business executive, confident expression, modern office background, soft lighting, sharp focus, high resolution"

Negative Prompt: "blurry, low quality, distorted features, bad lighting, unprofessional, casual clothing, multiple people, text, watermark"


#### Advanced Composition Techniques

**Rule of Thirds Integration:**

"Compose the image using the rule of thirds, with the main subject positioned at the intersection of the grid lines, creating visual balance and interest"


**Depth and Layering:**

"Create depth with multiple layers: foreground elements (detailed flowers), middle ground (person walking), and background (misty mountains), using atmospheric perspective"


**Leading Lines:**

"Use a winding path as a leading line that draws the viewer's eye from the bottom left corner to the castle on the hilltop, creating visual flow and narrative"


#### Color Theory Application

**Complementary Color Schemes:**

"Use a complementary color palette of warm oranges and cool blues to create visual tension and vibrancy in the sunset beach scene"


**Monochromatic Approaches:**

"Create a monochromatic composition using various shades and tints of deep forest green, from pale sage to rich emerald, for a cohesive and sophisticated look"


#### Lighting Mastery

**Golden Hour Effects:**

"Capture the magic of golden hour lighting with warm, soft illumination casting long shadows and creating a romantic, dreamy atmosphere"


**Dramatic Lighting:**

"Use dramatic chiaroscuro lighting with strong contrasts between light and shadow, reminiscent of Caravaggio's paintings, to create mood and depth"


**Studio Lighting Simulation:**

"Professional studio lighting setup with key light, fill light, and rim light to create dimensional portrait lighting with soft shadows"


#### Negative Prompting Strategies

Negative prompts are crucial for refining image outputs by specifying what you DON'T want:

**Common Negative Prompt Categories:**
- **Quality Issues**: "blurry, low quality, pixelated, distorted, artifacts"
- **Unwanted Elements**: "text, watermark, signature, multiple people, extra limbs"
- **Style Exclusions**: "cartoon, anime, painting" (when wanting photorealism)
- **Composition Problems**: "cropped, cut off, out of frame, tilted"

**Advanced Negative Prompting:**

Universal Negative Prompt: "(worst quality:1.4), (low quality:1.4), (normal quality:1.4), lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, vaginas in breasts, ((monochrome)), ((grayscale)), collapsed eyeshadow, multiple eyebrows, (cropped), oversaturated, extra limb, missing limbs, deformed hands, long neck, long body, imperfect, (bad hands), signature, watermark, username, artist name, conjoined fingers, deformed fingers, ugly eyes, imperfect eyes, skewed eyes, unnatural face, unnatural body, error, painting by bad-artist"


#### Intermediate Image Prompting Exercises

**Exercise 1: Parameter Experimentation**
Using Midjourney, create the same prompt with different parameter combinations:
- Low stylize (100) vs. high stylize (900)
- Low chaos (10) vs. high chaos (80)
- Different aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9, 2:3)

**Exercise 2: Negative Prompt Mastery**
Using Stable Diffusion, practice refining images through strategic negative prompting:
- Start with a basic prompt
- Identify unwanted elements in the output
- Add specific negative prompts to eliminate them
- Iterate until achieving desired results

The Golden Rules

Audio ALWAYS Last: Place audio description at the very end of your prompt

❌ Wrong: "Audio: birds chirping. A woman walks in a forest."
✅ Right: "A woman walks in a forest. Audio: birds chirping."

One Action Per Prompt: Veo3 excels at single, clear actions

❌ Wrong: "He walks, sits, drinks coffee, and reads."
✅ Right: "He sits at a cafe table and drinks coffee."

Specific Over Generic: Details create realism

❌ Wrong: "A person in a room"
✅ Right: "A chef in a stainless steel kitchen"

Physics Keywords: Add "realistic physics govern" for better realism
```
✅ "Water flows with realistic physics governing its movement"
```

Character First: Always describe characters before actions

✅ "Sarah, a 30-year-old artist with paint-stained hands, mixes colors on her palette."

Instant Improvements

Lighting Magic Words:

"Golden hour lighting" → Instant cinematic quality
"Soft diffused lighting" → Professional look
"Rim lighting separates subject from background" → Depth

Camera Movement Enhancers:

"The camera slowly..." → Smooth, professional movement
"Handheld camera adds documentary feel" → Authentic style
"Static camera maintains focus" → Clean, stable shots

Audio Layering Formula:

Audio: [Primary action sound] + [ambient environment] + [subtle details] + [no music/music type]

Common Mistakes That Kill Quality

Conflicting Instructions
- ❌ "Fast slow-motion" (pick one!)
- ❌ "Bright darkness" (contradictory)
- ❌ "Silent loud sounds" (impossible)
Animation Language
- ❌ "Cartoon-style realistic" (pick a style)
- ❌ "Animated photorealistic" (contradictory)
- ✅ "Photorealistic" OR "Animated style"
Impossible Physics
- ❌ "Water flows upward naturally"
- ❌ "Heavy object floats without support"
- ✅ "Water flows downward following gravity"

Pro Tips for Instant Success

The "Establishing Shot" Trick: Start prompts with "Establishing shot" for cinematic intros
The "16:9 Aspect Ratio" Addition: Always include "16:9 aspect ratio" for standard video format
The "No Music" Specification: If you don't want music, explicitly state "no music"
The "Realistic Physics" Mantra: Add to any physical interaction for better results
The "Photorealistic" vs "Cinematic" Choice: "Photorealistic" for documentary look, "Cinematic" for movie quality

[Gentle lighting]. [Minimal camera movement]. [Detailed tactile action]. 
[Satisfying conclusion]. [Soft visual style].
Audio: [Detailed micro-sounds] + [ambient base] + [no music].

ASMR Examples:

Soap Cutting:

Extreme close-up shot. A pristine bar of lavender soap sits on a white 
marble surface, its smooth surface reflecting soft natural light. The 
camera remains perfectly still as a sharp knife approaches slowly. The 
blade makes contact and begins to cut through the soap with precise, 
deliberate pressure. Satisfying curls of soap peel away, creating 
geometric patterns. Each cut reveals the soap's creamy interior texture. 
Soft, natural lighting eliminates harsh shadows. Minimalist aesthetic, 
soft color palette, 16:9 aspect ratio.
Audio: Sharp knife cutting soap, soft scraping sounds, soap curls falling, 
quiet room ambiance, no music, satisfying cutting rhythm.

Kinetic Sand:

Close-up overhead shot. Fine kinetic sand fills a wooden container, 
its granular texture visible in soft natural light. Gentle hands slowly 
run through the sand, fingers creating smooth valleys and ridges. The 
sand flows like liquid while maintaining its granular structure. Fingers 
press and release, creating satisfying compression patterns. The camera 
stays perfectly steady, focusing on the tactile interaction. Warm, 
soft lighting creates gentle shadows. Natural color palette, 16:9 aspect ratio.
Audio: Sand flowing between fingers, gentle compression sounds, 
soft breathing, minimal movement sounds, no background music.

Character-Based Comedy Content

Focus: Consistent character in everyday situations, SOLO performance

Character Template (Copy-Paste):

A massive, 8-foot tall Bigfoot with thick, dark brown matted fur covering 
his entire muscular body. His face shows intelligent brown almond-shaped eyes 
with dilated pupils and natural lashes, a prominent but gentle brow ridge, 
and a proportioned nose. His expression is gentle and slightly confused, 
with a warm, innocent demeanor. He has large hands with thick fingers, 
oversized feet, and moves with a lumbering but surprisingly graceful gait. 
He is the only character present in the scene.

Character Isolation Technique: To ensure character is always the speaker:

Always specify: "alone", "isolated", "only character present"
Direct camera address: "speaking directly to the camera"
Audio attribution: "(Character speaking alone, deep voice)"
Location isolation: Use "isolated" or "empty" locations

Viral "Fruit Eating Fruit" Content

Focus: Hyperrealistic anthropomorphic fruit with complete human faces

Fruit Eating Formula:

[Macro shot]. A hyperrealistic [fruit] with a complete human face sits 
upright on [surface], its [skin] textured with natural imperfections. 
The face features realistic eyes, proportioned nose, and lifelike lips, 
seamlessly integrated with the fruit's natural texture. [Hand presents food]. 
The [fruit]'s eyes focus on the food with anticipation. Camera macro shot 
as [fruit] leans forward with realistic physics and bites with organic 
compression. Audio: [ambient], [eating sounds], wet swallow.
Photoreal—no animation artifacts—real camera simulation only.

Apple Eating Orange Example:

and natural imperfections. The face features realistic brown eyes with 
natural lashes, a proportioned nose, and lifelike pink lips, all 
seamlessly integrated with the apple's natural red skin texture. A hand 
presents a slice of fresh orange. The apple's eyes focus on the orange 
with anticipation, mouth slightly opening. Camera macro shot as the apple 
leans forward—realistic physics govern the subtle wobble of its weight—and 
bites the orange slice with soft, moist compression. 
Photoreal—no animation artifacts—real camera simulation only.

Cinematic Narrative with Dialogue:

Medium close-up shot. Marcus, a weathered detective with tired eyes and 
a three-day stubble, sits in his dimly lit office late at night. Rain 
streaks down the window behind him, illuminated by neon signs from the 
street below. Venetian blind shadows cut across his face as he leans 
forward, speaking directly to someone off-camera. His expression shifts 
from resignation to determination as he delivers his line. The camera 
slowly pushes in during his dialogue, emphasizing the gravity of his words. 
Film noir lighting with harsh shadows and cyan-orange color grading. 
Shallow depth of field keeps Marcus sharp while the background blurs.
Audio: (Marcus, gravelly voice, clearly lip-synced): "It was you all along." 
Rain on pavement, distant sirens, cigarette lighter click, tense orchestral sting.

Technical Precision - High-Speed Macro:

Extreme macro shot. A single water droplet hangs suspended from a spider's 
web strand, morning dew glistening in golden sunrise light. The droplet 
acts as a natural lens, inverting and magnifying the forest scene beyond. 
High-speed cameras capture at 1000fps as the droplet slowly grows from 
condensation, surface tension creating perfect spherical geometry. Shallow 
depth of field isolates the droplet against soft bokeh background. The 
camera remains perfectly still as the droplet reaches critical mass, 
breaks from surface tension, and falls in slow motion, creating ripples 
in a puddle below. The Vertigo dolly-zoom effect subtly shifts perspective 
during the fall. Scientific macro photography, ultra-high definition, 
natural color palette, 16:9 aspect ratio.
Audio: Morning forest ambiance, subtle web vibration, water droplet 
formation, gentle splash, nature soundscape, no music.

Multi-Layered Narrative Construction:

Complex Storytelling Framework:

Surface Layer: "A woman walks through a modern art gallery, examining paintings with apparent interest."

Emotional Layer: "Her body language reveals underlying tension - shoulders slightly raised, pace inconsistent, fingers fidgeting with her wedding ring as she moves between artworks."

Symbolic Layer: "The paintings she pauses at longest feature themes of transition and change - a storm clearing to reveal sunlight, a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, a bridge spanning turbulent water."

Audio Layer: "Subtle ambient gallery sounds with distant conversations, her heels clicking on polished floors, and a barely audible sigh as she stops before the final painting."

Psychological Realism Integration:

Micro-Expression Mastery:

"The CEO's public confidence masks private uncertainty - a barely perceptible tightening around his eyes when discussing quarterly projections, a momentary pause before answering questions about market expansion, fingers drumming once against his thigh before folding hands professionally."

Subtle Behavioral Cues:

"She maintains professional composure during the difficult conversation, but reveals stress through unconscious behaviors: touching her necklace when challenged, a slight lean back when hearing criticism, eyes briefly closing for a fraction longer than normal blinking when processing difficult feedback."

Advanced Technical Innovation

Physics-Based Storytelling:

Realistic Environmental Interaction:

"The chef's knife cuts through the onion with authentic resistance, juice beading on the blade's surface, onion layers separating with natural physics as the blade pushes through, steam rising from the cut surfaces, the chef's hand adjusting grip slightly to accommodate the changing resistance."

Fluid Dynamics Mastery:

"Wine pours from the bottle with realistic viscosity, creating a perfect arc that widens slightly as it falls, splashing into the glass with appropriate surface tension, creating concentric ripples that gradually settle while the wine's meniscus forms naturally against the glass walls."

Atmospheric Physics Integration:

Motion & Physics Mastery

Make your videos impossibly realistic with proper physics

The Physics Hierarchy

Gravity > Momentum > Friction > Air Resistance > Surface Tension

Always consider these forces in order when describing motion.

Material Behavior Guide

Liquids:

"[Liquid] flows with realistic physics governing viscosity, surface tension, 
and gravitational pull. It finds the path of least resistance, creating 
natural splashes and ripples upon impact."

Viscosity Scale:

Water: "flows freely with minimal resistance"
Oil: "flows slowly with visible viscosity"
Honey: "flows in thick ribbons maintaining form"
Molasses: "creeps downward in slow, thick streams"

Fabrics:

"[Fabric type] drapes naturally following gravity, with realistic weight 
and flexibility. Wind creates authentic billowing based on material density."

Fabric Weights:

Silk: "floats and ripples with minimal air movement"
Cotton: "moves naturally with moderate weight"
Denim: "maintains structure, moves stiffly"
Leather: "heavy drape with minimal flutter"

Particles:

"[Particle type] disperses following realistic physics, with larger particles 
falling faster than smaller ones. Air currents create natural swirling patterns."

Camera Movement Physics

The Inertia Principle: Cameras have weight. They can't start/stop instantly:

❌ "Camera instantly whips to the left"
✅ "Camera accelerates smoothly left, decelerating to rest"

Natural Camera Movements:

Handheld:

"Subtle handheld movement with natural micro-shakes and breathing rhythm. 
The camera operator's physical presence is felt through organic movement."

Crane/Jib:

"Smooth crane movement ascending with mechanical precision. Slight 
deceleration at movement endpoints maintains equipment realism."

Dolly:

"Camera dollies forward on smooth tracks, maintaining consistent height 
and eliminating vertical bounce. Professional grip equipment movement."

Advanced Physics Descriptions

Fire & Smoke:

"Flames dance upward following convection currents, with realistic heat 
distortion above. Smoke rises and disperses based on air temperature 
and wind conditions."

Water Interactions:

"Water reacts to [object] with appropriate displacement volume. Surface 
tension creates meniscus effects at contact points. Droplets form 
spherical shapes in freefall."

Collision Physics:

"[Object A] collides with [Object B], transferring momentum based on 
relative masses. Elastic deformation occurs at impact point before 
objects separate or stick together."

Environmental Forces

Wind Effects:

Light Breeze (5mph): "Leaves rustle gently, hair slightly moves"
Moderate Wind (15mph): "Branches sway, clothing flutters actively"
Strong Wind (30mph): "Trees bend, objects become airborne"

Gravity Variations:

Earth Gravity: "Objects fall at 9.8m/s² acceleration"
Moon Gravity: "Objects fall 6x slower with floating quality"
Zero Gravity: "Objects drift with momentum conservation"

The "Believable Impossible" Technique

For fantastical content that still feels real:

"[Impossible event] occurs following modified but consistent physics. 
While defying [specific law], all other physical properties remain 
accurately portrayed."

Example:

"The wizard levitates following anti-gravity magic, but his robes 
still flow downward naturally and his hair moves with realistic weight."

Motion Timing Guide

Action Duration Reference:

Eye blink: 0.3 seconds
Head turn: 0.5-1 second
Standing up: 1-2 seconds
Walking across frame: 3-4 seconds
Complex action: 5-7 seconds

The "Ease In/Out" Principle:

"[Action] begins slowly, accelerates through the middle, then 
decelerates to a gentle stop."

Object Weight Communication

Show weight through motion:

Light objects: "Quick movements, affected by air resistance"
Medium objects: "Moderate acceleration, some momentum"
Heavy objects: "Slow acceleration, high momentum, ground impact"
