Prompt

Try it on MiniMax H3 Max Turbo
Photoreal cinematic travel vlog, 15 seconds, vertical 9:16, filmed like handheld selfie footage on a phone. One young woman (an original character), the same face and outfit in every shot: long straight black hair, sleeveless cream dress, small white shoulder bag. 0-3s: in the passenger seat of a modern car under a panoramic sunroof, she smiles into the phone as a lake ringed by green mountains and glittering blue water appears outside; she tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. 3-6s: she strolls a cobbled lane between old European houses with flower boxes spilling red and pink blooms, turns to the lens with a warm smile and a small wave; the camera glides after her. 6-10s: on a lakeside cafe terrace with wooden tables, cream umbrellas and potted flowers, she sits down, sips an iced coffee and gazes out at the water. 10-12s: she raises the phone for a quick selfie, then swings it around to pan across the clear lake, the mountains and the terrace. 12-15s: golden hour at a wooden railing by the water; she smiles at the camera, then turns toward the sun setting over the lake; finish on a wide, calm view. Natural skin texture and expressions, gentle hair movement in the breeze, smooth transitions between locations, warm late-afternoon light. No subtitles, captions, text overlays, logos or watermarks.

Run it with an AI agent

  1. Create an API key with its own spend limit.
  2. Copy the agent brief and paste it into Claude Code, Codex or another coding agent.
  3. The agent quotes first and waits for your OK, then creates with an Idempotency-Key and polls until the video is ready.

Why it's adapted

The original clip runs about 15 seconds in vertical format, and its published 720×1280 file may have been upscaled, so it says nothing reliable about the render resolution. MiniMax H3 Max Turbo accepts 5 to 15 seconds in a single run, so this version keeps the whole story rather than cutting it: it splits the action into five timed beats, removes the 4K request, describes the woman as an original character and asks for nothing that depends on an uploaded photo. Run it as text-to-video at 9:16 and 768p and you get one continuous vlog-style clip with no stitching.

Original prompt

@Aiwithmaha · 1,682 characters
Create a 15-second ultra-realistic cinematic travel vlog featuring a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair wearing an elegant sleeveless cream-colored dress and carrying a small white shoulder bag. The video begins with the girl sitting inside a modern car with a panoramic sunroof, smiling at the camera as she arrives at a breathtaking lakeside destination surrounded by lush green mountains and sparkling blue water. She gently adjusts her hair while recording herself in selfie-vlog style. Next, she walks along a charming stone pathway surrounded by traditional European houses decorated with colorful flowers, turning toward the camera with a warm smile and a gentle wave as the camera smoothly follows her movements. She then arrives at a beautiful outdoor lakeside café with wooden tables, cream-colored umbrellas, and flower decorations, where she sits down and enjoys a cold iced coffee while admiring the peaceful scenery. She records another selfie, smiles naturally, and turns the camera to capture the panoramic view of the crystal-clear lake, green mountains, and elegant café terrace. In the final moments, she stands beside a wooden lakeside railing during golden hour, smiling at the camera before gently turning toward the sunset reflecting on the water, ending with a breathtaking cinematic view. Use realistic facial expressions, natural skin texture, consistent facial features and clothing, gentle hair movement, smooth camera transitions, authentic handheld vlog angles, beautiful European scenery, warm cinematic lighting, and premium 4K quality. Vertical 9:16 format, exactly 15 seconds long, with no subtitles, no text overlays, and no watermarks.

Shot breakdown

Subject
One original, fictional young woman with long straight black hair, a sleeveless cream dress and a small white shoulder bag. The three wardrobe details are stated once at the top and never change, which is what keeps her recognisable from the car seat to the sunset railing.
Action
Five beats with time codes: arriving in the car (0-3s), a wave on the cobbled lane (3-6s), sitting down with an iced coffee (6-10s), a selfie that turns into a pan of the lake (10-12s) and a turn toward the sunset (12-15s). Each beat carries one main gesture, so the 15 seconds never feel crowded.
Camera
Handheld phone footage throughout: arm's-length selfie framing in the car and at the cafe, a gliding follow on the lane, one deliberate pan when she flips the phone toward the view, and a closing wide shot of the water.
Style
Photoreal travel footage with natural skin texture, hair lifting in a light breeze and warm late-afternoon light that builds into golden hour. The 4K wording from the original is dropped because this model renders at 1080p at most.
Sound
The prompt carries no audio direction on purpose. Makernice's model comparison does not list audio for H3 Max Turbo, so treat the result as picture-only and add music or ambience in your editor.

Make it yours

  • To swap the traveller, change only the three wardrobe details (hair, dress, bag) and keep the sentence saying her face and outfit stay the same in every shot.
  • For a 5- or 10-second cut, keep the car arrival and the sunset railing, drop the cafe beats, and rewrite the duration line and time codes so they add up to the new length.
  • To trade the lake for a coastline or an old harbour town, replace the landscape nouns in beats one, two and five but keep the golden-hour line, which carries most of the mood.

FAQ

Will MiniMax H3 Max Turbo give this vlog a soundtrack?

Don't count on it. Makernice's model comparison shows audio for H3 Max Turbo as not listed, while MiniMax H3 and MiniMax H3 Max are listed as including an audio track. If the clip has to come out of the model with ambient sound, run the same prompt on one of those two; otherwise plan to lay music under the Turbo output.

How do I keep the same woman across a series of travel clips?

H3 Max Turbo has no multi-image reference-to-video mode, so in text-to-video consistency comes from wording: paste the identical character line (hair, dress, bag) into every prompt in the series. If you need a locked face, MiniMax H3 Max accepts up to four reference images in its reference-to-video mode.

Which aspect ratios and resolutions work for this prompt?

In text-to-video, H3 Max Turbo accepts 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16, and renders at 480p, 768p or 1080p, with 768p as the default. Keep 9:16 for phone feeds; for a landscape reel, change both the aspect setting and the words 'vertical 9:16' in the prompt so they match.
