The paper city, on Vidu Q3.

Vidu Q3 at 540p with sound, with the same prompt as the Seedance paper-city clips. The red tram crosses the frame and leaves before the windows light up one by one; the sound is a soft rustle rather than paper wheels.

The kitten, on Vidu Q3.

Vidu Q3 at 720p, silent, from the kitten photo and prompt of the Kling and Seedance kitten clips. The kitten moves more than asked, turning its head from side to side instead of one small tilt; the video keeps the photo’s 3:4 shape.

Vidu Q3 prompt ideas

Copy one into the prompt box above and adapt it to your shot.

  • “A handcrafted paper city at blue hour. A small red paper tram glides past layered cardboard buildings while warm window lights turn on one by one. Gentle paper-wheel sounds and a soft city ambience, locked wide camera, one continuous shot, no people, no brands, no text.”

  • “The ginger kitten blinks once and slowly tilts its head a few degrees toward the window as if listening. Gentle natural breathing and a tiny ear twitch. Both front paws stay planted on the green cushion; body remains seated. Locked camera. Preserve face, fur pattern, whiskers and exact kitten anatomy. Calm natural movement, no extra limbs, no mouth opening, no cuts, no added objects.”
