Site Reveal Animation

What this is

A 23-page method guide for building a cinematic site-reveal film from one generated render. Empty plot, building rises as a hologram, landscape arrives element by element, camera orbits the property, people and cars appear, sun goes down. All of it traced back to a single hero image.

What's inside

All 11 prompts, written out in full so you can copy and paste them. Seven image prompts covering the hero and every derived plate: empty plot, hologram, bare site, hardscape, planting, night. Four video prompts for the orbit and the moving shots, with the negative prompts that stop the building from warping.

Plus the reasoning behind each one. Why you derive every frame from one hero instead of writing fresh prompts. Why a keep-and-remove list beats a description. Why referencing your hero for a new camera angle destroys the angle, and what to do instead. The stage order that keeps a build from turning into a slideshow.

Illustrated throughout with the actual plates and frames from a finished film, so you can see what each prompt should return before you spend credits on it.

Who it's for

Architects, visualisers and designers who already generate AI renders and want motion out of them. If you've been making single stills and watching them sit still, this is the bridge.

What you need

An image model that accepts image references (Nano Banana 2 or similar) and a video model with start-and-end keyframe support. The animation and compositing stages assume you have an editor you're comfortable in, After Effects, Premiere, or code.

What this isn't

Not a preset pack and not a one-click template. It's the method, so you can point it at your own project instead of mine.
