A lone knight: a 30-second fortress battle

Six timed shots take a knight from guarding a gate through combat to the arrival of reinforcements. Open the details for the full English prompt, including character references, camera moves, sound and a negative prompt.

Original prompt

Create a photorealistic medieval battle sequence featuring a lone male knight defending the entrance to an ancient stone fortress. The scene must resemble a premium Hollywood historical film, with realistic armor, physically accurate movement, natural lighting, and consistent character identity.
Character reference: Use the uploaded knight image as the strict visual reference. Maintain the same helmet, silver plate armor, dark-blue cloak, sword, shield, and body proportions throughout the video.
0–5 seconds: The knight stands alone in front of a massive fortress gate. Wind moves his dark-blue cloak as dust drifts across the stone courtyard. The camera slowly pushes toward him.
5–10 seconds: A line of armored soldiers emerges through the distant dust. The knight raises his shield and positions his sword defensively. Sunlight glints naturally off the edges of his armor.
10–15 seconds: The first opponent charges. The knight blocks the incoming sword strike with his shield, pivots, and pushes the opponent backward. His armor moves naturally with his body.
15–20 seconds: Two more opponents approach from opposite directions. The knight turns to face them, maintaining a defensive stance. The camera tracks around the combatants while preserving spatial continuity.
20–25 seconds: The knight deflects another strike and forces the opponents to retreat. Dust rises from their boots as they move across the courtyard.
25–30 seconds: The knight lowers his shield slightly and turns toward the fortress gate as it begins to open behind him. Warm sunlight spills through the opening, illuminating his armor and revealing reinforcements arriving inside the fortress.
Audio: No music. Metal armor clanking, swords colliding, boots striking stone, wind, distant battle ambience, and natural breathing.
Negative prompt: Cartoon armor, inconsistent weapons, changing character appearance, extra limbs, floating swords, graphic gore, dismemberment, exaggerated fighting, unrealistic physics, background music, text, watermark.

Production notes

Prepare a knight reference image showing the helmet, silver armor, dark-blue cloak, sword and shield.
Supply your own reference image and adapt the character description to match it.
The prompt divides 0–30 seconds into six shots, with separate audio instructions and a negative prompt.

Kasane — SoulReaper director’s cut

An animated story follows a reaper and a keeper of records over twenty years. After the competition version, the creators rebuilt the film shot by shot into a roughly nine-minute director’s cut.

Planning a camera move in Canvas2D

The camera descends from an overhead view to a car, moves inside, then rises back into the sky. The route is first animated in Canvas2D, then passed to Kling through Codex and MCP.

Animating a drawing without losing its style

The initial animation changes the drawing’s visual style. The creator tries depth maps for motion, then adds intermediate frames in the original style to help preserve the brushwork.

A roughly 30-second sequence cuts from wide views to character close-ups. Follow the continuity between the character and setting. The creator says it was made in a single generation.

Turn these examples into your next video

For storytelling, study how the voicemail short builds suspense or how SoulReaper develops its characters. Break the story into shots, then plan the action, dialogue and sound for each one. Longer projects also need editing and post-production.

When testing performances, watch the eyes, facial expressions and pauses in speech. For action and camera tests, look at movement continuity, sound effects and cuts. Change one thing at a time so you can see whether the adjustment helps.

Once you have character images and a shot in mind, try a previs like the Blender, Canvas2D, Remotion or Three.js examples. Explain what each asset supplies: a character image for appearance, a scene image for composition, or a previs video for action and camera movement. For illustrated animation, additional frames in the same style can help guide the result.

Compare models with the same assets and prompt wherever possible, focusing on what your project needs. Once you choose an approach, check the Kling 4 API page for input requirements, parameters, pricing and request examples, then integrate through EvoLink’s unified API.

Kling 4 prompting FAQ

What should a Kling 4 prompt include?

Start with the subject, setting and main action, then add camera movement, lighting and sound. If you use reference images or videos, explain the role of each asset. A specific action and a clear camera direction are more useful than a string of adjectives such as “cinematic” or “high quality”.

Do I need to describe the whole image again for image-to-video?

Focus on what happens next: who moves, in what order, and how the camera moves. You do not need to repeat every visible detail. Call out any facial features, clothing or background elements that should stay the same. In scenes with several people, describe each person’s actions separately.

How do I keep a character consistent across shots?

Reuse the same character references and specify the facial features, hairstyle and clothing to preserve. Describe layout and lighting separately for scene references. If several characters appear, give each one a consistent name, link that name to the right image, and describe their actions individually.

How do I stop unwanted zooms when only the subject should move?

Give the camera its own instruction, such as “fixed camera, unchanged framing”, then describe the subject’s action. Remove conflicting directions such as a push-in, zoom or tracking shot from the same passage. If the framing still drifts, simplify the scene to one action before adding other changes.

How do I write a multi-shot prompt and set the timing?

Use shot numbers or time blocks. For each section, specify the shot size, character action, camera movement and transition, then check that the sections add up to the total duration. Write “cut to a close-up” when you want a cut from a wide shot, rather than simply “move closer”. For complex sequences, make an animatic before generating.

How do I keep dialogue assigned to the right speaker?

Identify the characters by name, clothing or position, then state who says each line. Put dialogue in quotation marks in the language you want spoken, and specify tone, pace and pauses. When one character speaks, say that the other stays silent. Label every line instead of grouping several lines without speakers.
