Create a cinematic, photorealistic visual prompt for Midjourney v6:
Subject Description: An elderly watchmaker meticulously assembling a tourbillon movement with brass tweezers
Scene Environment: A dimly lit 1920s Swiss horology workshop, wooden workbench cluttered with micro-gears, vintage magnifying loupe, dust motes dancing in sunbeams
Lighting & Atmosphere: Warm tungsten desk lamp casting sharp amber side light, soft cool daylight spill from a rain-streaked window
Color Grading & Film Stock: Kodak Tri-X 400 converted to high dynamic range color, Hasselblad 500C/M with 80mm f/2.8 lens
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Synthesize the final prompt string using this professional cinematographic syntax:
[Core Subject & Action], [Environment & Background Context], [Lighting Condition & Volumetric Atmosphere], shot on [Camera Body, e.g. Hasselblad H6D-100c or ARRI Alexa 65], with [Lens Spec, e.g. 50mm f/1.2 anamorphic lens], [Film Stock / Sensor Texture, e.g. Kodak Portra 400 with fine chemical grain], [Color Palette / Mood], photorealistic texture, shallow depth of field, 8k resolution, editorial still --ar 16:9 --v 6.1 --style raw --stylize 150
Also provide:
- 3 alternative lens & lighting variations (e.g. Golden hour side-lit, Rembrant shadow, Neon diffuse noir).
- Negative keywords to avoid typical AI plastic sheen.
