5 Prompts that will make you better.
No Substack blah blah, just 5 ChatGPT/Sora prompts that I know work. The goal here is to give you a base that you can use directly or edit to fit your needs. Straight from the JDOTF archive.
The Process
The following 5 prompts are made for ChatGPT/Sora, but with a couple of small tweaks, you can use them in plenty of other tools too. They’re meant to give you a strong base you can play with to get exactly what you want.
Just pick one, adjust a few elements, and see where it takes you. In the example below, all I changed was the color tone, subject, and location — but the style and overall feel stayed the same. Hope your enjoy!


(Original Prompt) A hyper-realistic photograph of a Lamborghini engulfed in flames on an empty Miami Beach street, 1980s vibe, golden hour lighting, captured on a Minolta X-700 — with authentic film grain, warm color tones, reflections on the wet street, and cinematic composition, no text.
(Edited Prompt) A hyper-realistic photograph of an old vw polo, engulfed in flames on an empty new york street, 1980s vibe, golden hour lighting, captured on a go pro — with authentic film grain, cool color tones, reflections on the wet street, and cinematic composition, no text.
