1. How to use this book
   1. Pick a format: Every pack opens with what makes that format work, then ten prompts written the same way: one subject, one visible conflict, one action, and a payoff the last frame can show.
   2. Run it anywhere: The prompts carry no proprietary syntax, so they work in any text-to-video model. Paste one into Frutti's free writer and it turns into a full episode with a cast, dialogue, and captions, no account needed.
   3. Keep the cast, change the conflict: A series is one cast plus new problems. Lock the characters and the setting, swap only the episode's conflict, and end every episode on a frame that opens the next one.

The shape that survives a model:
- One subject: Name the thing that moves. Everything else is set dressing the model will invent anyway.
- One visible conflict: Something must be wrong, wanted, or at stake from the first second.
- One action: A single verb that resolves inside the clip. Two verbs is two clips.
- One payoff: State what the last frame shows. A prompt without an ending drifts to a stop.

PART ONE. 16 VERTICAL FORMATS (160 prompts)

--- Italian brainrot prompts for creatures you own. (10 prompts) ---
The format lives on one collision and one straight face. Copying an existing character gets a clip nobody can build on, so every prompt here describes an original creature you can keep.

1. A crocodile fused with a bomber plane explains very seriously why it was late to work, ends on it noticing everyone already left.
2. A shark wearing designer trainers delivers a calm weather report, ends on the water level rising behind it.

4. A pigeon with a briefcase gives a motivational speech on a rooftop, ends on it being blown off by a light breeze.
5. A refrigerator with legs applies for a job as a lifeguard, ends on the interviewer silently sliding the form back.

9. An octopus with eight watches insists it has never been late, ends on all eight showing different times.
10. A frog fused with a trumpet gives a wedding toast, ends on it being unable to stop playing.

--- AI ASMR prompts that loop cleanly. (10 prompts) ---
ASMR is the one format where story is a liability. What it needs instead is a single sensation, held long enough to be satisfying, cut where it can loop without a visible seam.

1. Macro: a glass-skinned apple sliced in one clean motion, refraction moving through the cut, crunch leading the audio.
2. Extreme close-up of a mandarin being peeled in a single unbroken spiral, peel sound only, ends where the spiral began.
3. Slow motion of a knife pressing into a crystalline watermelon until it fractures, low resonant crack, no music.
4. Macro of condensation running down a cold glass strawberry, water sound only, camera never moves.
5. A honey-glazed pear rotating slowly under warm light, viscous drip sound, loop point at the top of the rotation.
6. Close-up of frozen grapes being pressed apart, ice crackle leading, ends with them settling back together.
7. Overhead macro of sugar being poured over a glass lemon, granular hiss, ends when the surface is fully covered.
8. A blade passing through a glass avocado in slow motion, the pit catching light, single clean note of contact.
9. Macro of a fig opening under gentle pressure, wet fibrous sound, camera locked, ends half open.
10. Crystalline cherry dropped into still water, single impact, ends as the surface returns to flat.

--- Self-eating fruit prompts for the loop everyone rewatches. (10 prompts) ---
The format works because it is quietly wrong. A fruit calmly consuming itself breaks a rule the viewer did not know they were holding, and the comments do the rest. Panic ruins it; calm sells it.

1. A strawberry explains her diet to camera while eating herself one bite at a time, ends the moment she notices.
2. A banana peels himself during a job interview and keeps answering questions normally, ends on the interviewer's pen stopping.
3. An apple hosts a cooking show and uses herself as the main ingredient, ends on her presenting the finished plate.
4. A watermelon gives a fitness tutorial while steadily disappearing, ends on the mat being empty.
5. A grape counts the bunch, eats one, recounts, and repeats, ends on it being alone.
6. A pear films a slow skincare routine that is clearly just eating himself, ends on the camera falling over.
7. A lemon squeezes itself into a glass while criticising the recipe, ends on the glass being handed to someone.
8. A pineapple carves a slice off for a guest, then another, and keeps going, ends on the guest asking her to stop.
9. An orange peels itself calmly in a lift while a stranger watches, ends on the doors opening.
10. A coconut cracks itself open to prove there is water inside, ends on the room going silent.

--- Talking animal prompts with something to say. (10 prompts) ---
A talking animal is not a premise, it is a costume. What makes the clip work is the same thing that makes any scene work: this character wants something, and something is in the way.

1. A cat in a landlord's cardigan explains the rent increase to a dog who clearly cannot pay, ends on the dog looking at the camera.
2. A pigeon working airport security insists on searching a much larger bird, ends on the queue backing up.

6. A raccoon returns something to a shop with no receipt and full confidence, ends on the manager handing over cash.
7. A parrot is called as a witness and repeats one sentence too many times, ends on the defendant's face.
8. A cow explains her side of a scandal to a farm meeting, ends on the barn door opening behind her.
9. A hamster gives a tour of a home gym that is one wheel, ends on him being genuinely proud.
10. An owl running a night shift refuses to hand over to the rooster, ends on sunrise.

--- Product ad prompts that end in a sale. (10 prompts) ---
A product ad in a short-form feed has to earn the same attention as entertainment, because it is competing with entertainment. The product does not need to be the hero of the scene. It needs to be the reason the scene resolves.

1. A tired office worker stares at an empty mug at 3pm, the drink arrives on the desk, ends on them already halfway out the door with it.
2. A gym bag falls open and spills everything except the one bottle that stayed shut, ends on a close-up of the seal.
3. Two housemates argue over the last portion, the product appears between them, ends on both reaching at once.

5. A phone at four percent battery in a taxi at night, the product plugs in, ends on the screen at full charge and the passenger relaxing.
6. Rain starts on a market stall and everything gets wet except what is inside the packaging, ends on the vendor smiling at the camera.
7. Someone opens a fridge full of identical products from a rival and closes it, ends on them holding one of yours instead.
8. A slow macro of the product being opened for the first time, sound leading, ends on the first use.
9. A messy desk resolves into order around a single object, ends on the person sitting down to work.
10. A late-night kitchen: the meal takes ninety seconds instead of thirty minutes, ends on the clock barely moving.

--- Fruit Love Island prompts for a series, not a clip. (10 prompts) ---
Reality formats are the strongest engine in short-form because they never resolve. Every episode ends owing the audience something. Write the debt, not the drama.

1. First coupling: a strawberry has to choose between a banana who arrived first and a mango who arrived louder, ends before she says the name.
2. Confession cam: a peach explains why she is not worried about the new arrival, ends on her checking the door.
3. A watermelon finds out her partner has been talking to a pineapple, ends on her putting down a plate very carefully.
4. Two lemons form an alliance in the kitchen, ends on a grape hearing everything from the next room.
5. A dragonfruit arrives at the villa in flames, ends on every existing couple going quiet.
6. A pear who has said nothing for three episodes finally speaks, ends on the room turning.
7. Recoupling: an apple picks the person nobody expected, ends on the person she did not pick.
8. A cherry cries in the confession booth about something she caused, ends on her being asked one question.
9. A plum in a white suit arrives as a producer nobody knew existed, ends on him reading out a rule change.
10. Finale: two finalists open envelopes, ends before either one is read aloud.

--- Talking teeth prompts with a grudge to air. (10 prompts) ---
Teeth are an ensemble trapped in one mouth, which means every episode is a roommate dispute with dental stakes. The prompt's job is to name the crisis and let the cast bury itself.

1. The molars hold an emergency meeting after the owner confesses to chewing ice, ends on the youngest molar being blamed.
2. A front tooth runs a morning show about last night's grinding, ends on the grinding witness refusing to comment.
3. The wisdom teeth crash the meeting to ask why everyone is planning their removal, ends on an awkward silence.

10. The podcast closes its season with a live audience of toys, ends on a standing ovation from the stuffed animals.

--- Talking dog prompts with a crime to deny. (10 prompts) ---
A talking dog works on one engine: what the dog did versus how the dog explains it. Write the crime first, the defence second, and let the confidence do the comedy.

1. A dog holds a press conference about the missing birthday cake, ends on frosting evidence being presented.

--- Plush video prompts with tiny, enormous stakes. (10 prompts) ---
The plush format runs on sincerity: soft faces doing very serious jobs in a miniature domestic world. The prompt's job is the job and the crisis, never the cuteness.

1. A plush shark hosts a nature documentary about the living room, ends on the cat being treated as apex predator.

10. The cast hosts a awards ceremony for best hug, ends on the trophy being declined.

--- News anchor prompts covering the very important nothing. (10 prompts) ---
The desk is the most trusted costume in comedy. A working prompt covers something tiny with the full gravity of a network, and carries the broadcast structure end to end.

1. Breaking news: the neighbourhood squirrel has claimed a third bird feeder, ends on the correspondent evacuating.

--- Talking bug prompts for a domestic thriller at floor level. (10 prompts) ---
The format spread out of Turkish TikTok in 2026, and it runs on one rule: the humans are never on camera. A slipper, a light switching on, a shadow across the tiles does the work that a person would ruin. The roaches get the apartment until, for one second, they do not.

1. A cockroach in a tiny bathrobe waits under the kitchen cabinet until the light goes off, ends on the shadow of a slipper arriving anyway.

--- AI pet drama prompts for stakes a pet would actually care about. (10 prompts) ---
Pet drama works when the stakes are small enough to be true and big enough to matter: the bed, the bowl, the owner's attention, the new arrival. The owner stays off camera as a force, keys on the hook or the car in the driveway, and the pets carry the episode.

1. A dog holds a family meeting about the new puppy arriving tomorrow, ends on everyone looking at the still-empty second bowl.

--- AI micro drama prompts built to serialise in thirty seconds. (10 prompts) ---
Micro drama moved from paid streaming apps to the feed, and the feed changed the rules: every episode has thirty seconds to open a question and two more to replace it with a worse one. The cliffhanger is not the reward at the end. It is the product.

1. Episode one: a strawberry inherits a key she was never supposed to find, ends on the lock turning from the other side of the door.
2. Episode one: a lemon's new job starts the same day the previous assistant disappears, ends on a note in her desk written in her own handwriting.
3. Episode one: a watermelon's wedding invitation arrives with the groom's name crossed out, ends on a stranger sitting in the front row.

5. Episode one: an orange landlord tells every tenant the same secret, ends on all of them comparing notes in the elevator.
6. Episode one: a cherry checks her twin's phone and finds a recording of her own voice saying never call back, ends on the call connecting.
7. Episode one: a pineapple returns to the family diner after ten years, ends on his own photo still up on the wall with someone cut out.
8. Episode one: a blueberry notices a second shadow that moves a half-second late, ends on it pointing at the door.

PART TWO. MODEL AND PLATFORM PACKS (40 prompts)

--- Veo 3 prompts written for one shot. (10 prompts) ---
Clip models reward restraint. A prompt with one subject, one action, and one camera instruction lands; a prompt with six adjectives and three cuts becomes an average of all of them. These are written the short way.

1. Locked wide shot: a strawberry in a wedding dress notices a lipstick mark on the groom's leaf, holds the look, ends on her setting down the bouquet.
2. Slow push-in on a banana in a tracksuit explaining an alibi to someone off camera, ends on him glancing at the door.
3. Macro shot of a glass-skinned apple being sliced in one motion, juice catching the light, ends on the two halves rocking to a stop.

10. Locked wide of an avocado sitting alone in a tiny kitchen at 3am, ends on a rent notice sliding under the door.

--- Sora prompts for characters that act. (10 prompts) ---
The difference between a clip that looks generated and one that looks directed is usually a single decision: did the prompt say what happens, or only what is in frame. These say what happens.

1. A pear in a raincoat stands at the back of a crowded room, and slowly everyone turns to look at him. Ends on his mouth opening.

10. A pumpkin gives a comeback interview in March to an empty studio, ends on the camera light switching off.

On TikTok the whole prompt is really about frame one. If the opening image does not raise a question, nothing later in the clip gets the chance to answer it.

1. Open on a strawberry already crying at a dinner table, everyone else eating normally, ends when we learn what she read.
2. Open on a banana holding a knife and a bunch of flowers, ends when we find out which one was for whom.

7. Open on a lemon and a lime wearing the same outfit at the same event, ends on which one leaves.
8. Open on a pineapple locking an office door from the inside, ends on who is already in the room.

10. Open on a mango returning to a house he was thrown out of, ends on who opens the door.

--- YouTube Shorts prompts that earn the next one. (10 prompts) ---
Shorts rewards the channel more than the clip. A video that performs and leads nowhere is worth less than a slightly weaker one that makes the viewer check what else is there.

1. Episode one of a fruit courtroom: an apple is on trial for something nobody will name, ends on the charge being read.
2. A garlic opens a restaurant and fires the entire kitchen on day one, ends on who he hires instead.

4. A watermelon influencer records a calm skincare tutorial during a chaotic picnic; maintain perfect presenter delivery while ants move props, then end with a bite missing from the product.

--- Recurring series engines ---

Q3. Which video models do these prompts work with?
A. The prompts are plain descriptions with no model-specific syntax, so they work in any text-to-video tool, including Veo, Sora, Kling, Runway, and Frutti's own writer.
