Prompt tips that help on Wan 2.6

  • Call the camera move early. Say push in, slider, handheld walk, or drone flyover.
  • Pick one main subject. Too many subjects drift fast in 5 seconds.
  • Describe lighting in one phrase. Studio rim light, golden hour, neon rain, underwater sun rays.
  • Add one detail that forces realism. Condensation, reflections on wet asphalt, particles in water.

8 prompts (with real outputs)

Prompt 1: sushi plating overhead push in

Prompt: Cinematic overhead shot in a modern sushi bar kitchen. A chef hands place salmon nigiri on a slate plate with tweezers. Camera slowly pushes in, shallow depth of field, steam rising, clean lighting, realistic hands and food texture.

Food close-ups test texture and hand motion. Look for stable fingers and clean edges around the fish.

Prompt 2: luxury watch macro slider

Prompt: Macro studio shot of a luxury wristwatch on black velvet. The second hand sweeps smoothly. A soft spotlight moves across the brushed metal. Slow slider move left to right. High contrast, realistic reflections.

Macro shots reveal reflection bugs. A good result keeps the dial readable while highlights stay smooth.

Prompt 3: coral reef glide

Prompt: Underwater documentary shot in a tropical coral reef. Schools of colorful fish swirl around coral. Sun rays cast moving caustics on the sand. Camera glides forward slowly, stable motion, realistic water particles.

Underwater scenes test depth and motion coherence. Watch the fish movement and the caustics on the sand.

Prompt 4: slow motion dunk tracking shot

Prompt: Sports commercial shot. A basketball player performs a slow motion dunk in an empty gym with dramatic rim light. Camera tracks from baseline to under the hoop. Sweat droplets visible, sharp motion, cinematic.

Human motion can break fast. This prompt checks body consistency, face stability, and a clear camera path.

Prompt 5: neon rain handheld walk

Prompt: Urban cinematic night shot. A rainy street intersection with neon signs reflected on wet asphalt. Camera does a slow handheld walk forward through light mist. Passing umbrellas and cars. Realistic reflections and bokeh.

Wet reflections and haze look great when they stay stable. Too much wobble makes the scene feel fake.

Prompt 6: forest fog drone flyover

Prompt: Aerial drone shot over a dense pine forest covered in morning fog. The camera flies forward low above the treetops. Sun breaks through the fog. Natural color grading, smooth motion.

Fog helps hide small artifacts, but it can also turn into mush. A strong output keeps tree silhouettes crisp.

Prompt 7: earbud case product rotation

Prompt: Product ad shot for a silver wireless earbud case on a glossy surface. The case rotates slowly while a soft gradient background shifts. Close up, crisp edges, studio lighting, minimal, realistic materials.

Product shots should look intentional. Watch for clean edges and stable geometry during the rotation.

Prompt 8: sci fi corridor follow shot

Prompt: Sci fi cinematic shot inside a spacecraft corridor. Emergency red lights flicker. A small service robot rolls past with blinking LEDs. Camera follows behind at a steady pace. Metallic textures, volumetric haze, realistic motion.

Flickering lights and LEDs can cause weird artifacts. A clean clip keeps the corridor lines straight and the robot consistent.
