AI Stormtrooper Prompt template
A photorealistic selfie-style video frame, filmed handheld by a stormtrooper inside a supply closet on a remote Imperial desert base. The lighting is harsh, flickering from an overhead panel. The air is filled with the faint smell of burnt plastic. The stormtrooper, in full armor with a scorch mark across one shoulder, points the camera at himself. He’s clearly annoyed. “So update… Voss accidentally set fire to half the rations. Said he was just ‘warming up his food.’ With a blaster.” He sighs and pans the camera to Voss, who’s fully armored and sitting on a crate in the corner, silently eating what appears to be a half-melted protein brick. “We’re down to one crate of emergency bars and blue milk powder. I haven’t tasted a real meal in two weeks.” Voss holds up the burnt bar and gives a slow thumbs-up. The stormtrooper just stares at the camera. “I’m gonna die out here and it’s gonna be his fault.” DO NOT INCLUDE ANY TEXT, CAPTIONS, OR SUBTITLES ON SCREEN

FAQs
Can I tweak the prompt after the first render? Yes. Change any line and click Generate again; each run gives you a new clip, and all versions stay in your project.
How do I add my own voice track? Export the video, open it in the BasedLabs editor, and drop your audio on the timeline. External files don’t sync inside the generator itself.
Why does the camera drift sometimes? Always include “handheld selfie” or “camera held by trooper” to lock the viewpoint.
What’s the ideal clip length? Under thirty seconds. Short videos loop cleanly and keep viewers engaged.
Can I merge several stormtrooper clips? Yes. In the editor place multiple clips on the timeline, trim, and export one continuous vertical file.
Should I add music? Official reports feel sharper with only the ambient starship hum. Music is optional and can be layered in the editor.
Write or adjust your prompt, generate the footage, crop it vertically, and publish while the hyperlane is clear. Consistent mission logs will turn your channel into the frontline feed for Imperial updates.
