Prompt

CAMERA: DV 16mm tape camcorder handheld feel. POV of CHASE holding the camera herself, occasionally propping it on a rack, bench, or machine console. Hand shake, misaligned framing, delayed focus pulls, clumsy zooms, occasional face cut-off framing, imperfect shots. Camcorder never appears on screen. LOOK: Soft, slightly blurry tape quality, faint tape noise, bloomed highlights under gym lighting, flickering auto-exposure, muted contrast, realistic skin tones. STYLE: Playful, self-deprecating gym-vlog tone — genuine effort, breathless commentary, real laughs. Quick handheld cuts, energy building progressively from determined to visibly exhausted, camera slightly wobbling by the later cuts to match her shaky legs. Character CHASE — Korean idol , 20s. Long black hair in a high ponytail, glowing skin building up a sweat sheen as the session progresses, big expressive eyes. Slim athletic build. Modest long-sleeve athletic top, loose joggers/leggings (arms and torso fully covered), sneakers, towel around neck, no jewelry. Setting A gym in the evening — squat rack, leg press machine, leg curl machine, lunge space near the mirror wall, water fountain across the room, soft overhead lighting. Storyboard (20s, 8 cuts) (~2.5s, propped camera at squat rack, medium shot) She stands, hands on hips, psyching herself up. CHASE: "Okay, leg day — let's see how bad this gets." (~2.5s, propped camera, squat rack) She performs a few squats, controlled breathing, racks the bar with an exhale. CHASE: "Okay, squats down — already feeling it." (~2.5s, handheld, walking) She moves to the lunge space near the mirror, camera bouncing slightly. CHASE: "Onto lunges now, wish me luck." (~2.5s, medium propped shot, lunges) She performs a few walking lunges, wobbling slightly on the last one, laughing at herself. CHASE: "Okay that last one was NOT cute—" (~2.5s, propped camera, leg press machine) She settles into the leg press, pushes through a rep, face straining. CHASE: "Why did I save this one for last—" (~2s, macro insert, shallow DOF) Close-up on her hands gripping the leg press handles, sweat catching the light. No dialogue — ambient gym sound only. (~2.5s, handheld, unsteady walk) She stands up, legs visibly shaking, grabbing the rack for balance, bursting into laughter. CHASE (laughing): "Okay— my legs are actually shaking right now—" (~3s, arm's-length selfie finish) She leans against the wall near the water fountain, catching her breath, tired grin, thumbs up. CHASE: "Okay, never doing legs again — see you guys, going to go lie down somewhere."

Make it yours

  • Each cut states its own length (about 2.5 s) and they sum to 20 s; keep the lengths adding up to your duration when you add or drop cuts.
  • Swap squat, lunge and leg press for any three-step routine and keep the macro insert and selfie ending to reuse the structure.
  • For Shorts or Reels change the aspect ratio to 9:16; the selfie and propped shots already suit portrait.
