The prompt
Wet black ink gathers on blank paper and rises into a coiled dragon; whiskers uncurl stroke by stroke as the wash bleeds into the fibres. The camera tilts slowly up the body and holds as the last horn forms. A single lamp skims the paper in a dark studio, dust hanging in the air. Sumi-e ink-wash animation, dry-brush texture, generous negative space, no outlines, monochrome with one red seal.

Why it works
Sumi-e lives or dies on restraint, so the prompt spends its words on medium and negative space instead of detail: wet ink, bleeding edges, no outlines. The only motion asked for is whiskers uncurling, which is slow enough for a five-second shot to hold cleanly, and naming one raking lamp keeps the paper texture legible rather than flattening the wash into grey. The wide 21:9 frame gives the body room to coil without crowding the paper.
Mode
Most cases are text-to-video and need nothing but the prompt. The ones marked "needs one reference image" are image-to-video: you supply a photo and the prompt keeps that subject or product locked while the camera moves.
