HappyHorse prompt guide
HappyHorse animates characters from reference images: you add a photo of a person and write what they do. The first example below is the prompt of an effect on RenderHour, the one that made its preview.
What HappyHorse takes
- Takes a prompt, a first frame and up to 9 reference images, named character1 to character9 in the prompt.
- Clips of 3 to 15 seconds.
- Aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1.
- Settings: 720p; 1080p.
- From 2.5 credits per second.
The order to write a prompt in
- Who: "the person from character1", and a second reference for a second person or an item.
- What they do and where.
- The camera.
- The look and the pace, such as slow motion.
Tips
- Name each reference by its position: character1 is the first image you add, up to character9 for the 9th.
- Say "the person from character1" rather than describing the face: the model takes the look from the image.
- Use another reference for an item the person holds or wears: "carrying the bag from character2".
Example prompts
Slow motion. The person from character1 walks calmly toward the camera without looking back while a huge fireball erupts far behind them, throwing debris and sparks into the air. The scene is an empty industrial yard at dusk. Their hair and clothes move in the blast wind, the fire lights them from behind, and the camera tracks backward at chest height on a long lens. Keep the face, hair and build of the person from character1 exactly the same in every frame. Photorealistic, natural motion. No text, captions, logos or watermarks.
The person from character1 dances in the rain on a city rooftop at night, spinning with arms wide. The camera circles them slowly. Neon light, puddles, a joyful mood.
The person from character1 walks out of a boutique onto a sunny street carrying the bag from character2, smiling. Tracking shot from the front, natural light.
