Fixed 8-Panel Editorial Grid with Smoky Portrait Motion
Grok Imagine video prompt by Özge Döner · original post
A JSON-structured prompt for Grok Imagine Video that generates a gritty 8-panel editorial grid of a wet-haired woman with smoky eyes and a black glove against a neutral wall. The technique locks the grid layout and identity while allowing only subtle natural motion like breathing, blinks, smoke drift, and flame flicker.
