AI Video Prompts Reference — GTA V Style
Tool-specific prompt templates and style anchors for generating GTA V-style video using Nano Banana 2 for image generation and Kling 3.0 for image animation.

## Universal GTA V Style Anchors

Paste these into Nano Banana 2 to generate the base image, or append to Kling 3.0 to guide the animation style:

Short style tag:

GTA V cinematic style, teal-orange color grade, golden hour Los Santos, hyperrealistic, crime thriller, Rockstar Games aesthetic

Full style block:

Visual style of Grand Theft Auto V cutscenes. Teal shadows, amber-gold highlights, high contrast. Cinematic lens — 35mm or 50mm equivalent. Slight film grain. Los Angeles urban environment, hyperreal. Atmosphere of imminent chaos beneath a polished surface. Rockstar North production quality.

Night scene variant:

GTA V night scene aesthetic. Neon-lit Los Santos streets. Deep teal shadows, hot orange and pink neon, wet asphalt reflections. Crime thriller atmosphere. Cinematic, Rockstar Games style.

Aerial/establishing variant:

GTA V aerial establishing shot style. Sweeping drone cinematography over Los Santos. Golden hour, urban sprawl, teal-orange grade. Epic scale, slight heat haze. Rockstar Games cinematic.

Scene Examples:
Mission Start (character introduction):

Medium shot of a middle-aged man in a tailored grey suit, salt-and-pepper hair slicked back, standing in front of a luxury penthouse window overlooking a neon-lit city at night.

Medium shot of two men facing each other in a parking garage, fluorescent lights flickering overhead, one beat-up muscle car between them. One man gestures aggressively, the other stands completely still. GTA V dialogue cutscene, teal-green industrial lighting, crime thriller atmosphere.

Kling 3.0 — Animation Templates (Image-to-Video)
Upload the image generated by Nano Banana 2 into Kling 3.0 and use these prompts to dictate precise character motion, camera physics, and environmental dynamics.

Template Structure:

- Animate the image: [CAMERA MOVE], [SUBJECT'S PRECISE MOVEMENT/ACTION]. Maintain the GTA V cinematic style, teal-orange grade, and high-fidelity textures.
- Scene Examples (Corresponding to Nano Banana 2 Images):
- Mission Start Animation:

Animate the image: Slow dolly push toward the man. He slowly lights a cigarette without turning around, a puff of smoke rising. City lights flicker and reflect off the rain-slicked glass window pane. Realistic fabric and hair physics.

Car Chase Animation:

Animate the image: High-speed tracking shot. The car accelerates rapidly down the boulevard, tires smoking slightly, background traffic blurring past. Dynamic motion blur, camera shakes slightly to simulate speed.

Heist Crew Animation:

Animate the image: Slow-motion walking shot. The three figures begin walking in unison toward the camera down the street. The wind subtly rustles their clothes. Heavy, purposeful cinematic footsteps.

Aerial City Animation:

Animate the image: Sweeping drone pull-back, expanding the view of the city. Light traffic streams along distant highways, heat haze shimmers off the concrete, clouds slowly move across the sky.

Confrontation Animation:

Animate the image: Handheld camera movement with a subtle jitter. The aggressive man steps forward angrily while speaking, pointing his finger, while the other man clenches his jaw. Fluorescent lights flicker intermittently.
