Make AI Videos That Go Viral (Real Prompts) with Anshul Sharma

You've seen the Maya reels. This is exactly how they're made — and how to make yours.

Not tips. Not theory. The method that produced five episodes across five eras with one face that never drifts: a Spartan king at Thermopylae, the Tudor court in 1536, Carter's candle in the Valley of the Kings, the night of Bhopal, the control room at Chernobyl. Every prompt in the book was pasted into a generator. Every fix came from a shot that failed. Rewritten from the ground up for the official Seedance 2.5 prompt guide.

What you'll be able to do after reading it

1. Build a character whose face is identical in every shot, in every era, forever (trait locking, the 7-slot formula, the anchor mark, the real-face filter)
2. Choose stories that are built to travel: the 4-point test, the decision moment, the running prop
3. Write a 2-minute script that teaches 7–10 facts without ever sounding like a lecture, and pass the five critique rounds before you spend a credit
4. Build reference sheets for characters, figures, crowds, environments and props that hold identity, costume, geography and light between shots
5. Write video prompts with the official four-part skeleton: blocking in metres, a camera with a body, timed action with causes, and the lighting, colour, texture and physics blocks that separate footage from render
6. Stage scenes the generator can survive: frame tight, one actor moves, never fight the lens, formations as walls, exits past the camera
7. Carry the same method into a commercial, a phone-UGC clip or a cinematic short
8. Cut, caption, post and disclose so the account grows and stays up

Inside the 62 pages

• The Formula: why one episode beat topics with 10x the search volume, and the shape every episode follows
• Story first: the two passes, the "and then" test, the 8-beat template, with the full Leonidas script as a worked example
• The real Maya character-sheet prompt, broken down line by line, and the portrait-then-sheet method for any historical figure
• Environment sheets that lock the geography, prop sheets that hold every state, and the new rule on cropping sheets into panels
• The prompt architecture and the master realism block: lighting paragraph, three-layer colour, skin and texture, optical imperfection, physics, acting, extras
• All 7 shot prompts for the Thermopylae episode, final versions
• 11 before/after fixes from generations that looked fake, and a 22-row diagnosis table merged with the official troubleshooting guide
• Lighting recipes for overcast, candle, fluorescent and sodium-night scenes
• The edit routine, the caption, the hashtag stack, the location tag, the disclosure checklist
• Fill-in templates and a pre-generation checklist for your own character

Who this is for

Anyone making AI video who wants a repeatable system instead of random rolls. Beginners get the whole pipeline in order. Experienced creators get the prompt structure that finally makes formations, blocking, continuity and lighting hold, and the reasons behind each rule.

What it's not

It's not a list of "50 prompt ideas." It's one complete method, proven across five episodes, opened up so you can build a hundred of your own. The exact tools and settings are named inside.
