How this prompt directs the shot
This example keeps one dramatic action at the centre of the shot, then adds concrete weather, camera, performance and sound direction so H3 has a scene to stage rather than a list of disconnected adjectives.

Copy the MiniMax H3 prompt
Old fisherman in a storm A weathered old fisherman in his 70s stands at the bow of a small wooden fishing boat being thrown through a violent North Atlantic storm at dusk. He grips the rail with both hands, completely calm, face set against the wind and rain, eyes on the horizon. Waves tower above the boat on both sides. Lightning in the far distance. His yellow oilskin jacket is soaked through, white beard plastered to his face. The camera is inches away, handheld, lurching with the boat. Every line on his face visible. Behind him a younger crew member scrambles across the deck in panic — the old man doesn't flinch. Photorealistic, shot on RED camera, natural storm light, 4K, no music implied, just wind and water and the groan of the hull.
Imagine Anything. Direct Everything.
