- For College students
- You practice Giving the right context
- Time about 5 minutes
About this exercise
Your robotics club wants a short looping video for the screen at its recruiting table, made with Runway. Get Claude to write one paste-ready video prompt as plain text under 100 words. It must say 5 seconds and that the clip loops seamlessly (the last frame matches the first), describe your club's own robot rather than any famous company's robot, and say no text, logos or people.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Using the old 10-second plan. The AI keeps the 10-second clip with a title card, which stutters when it loops. Try: Add: "5 seconds, seamless loop, last frame matches the first."
- Borrowing a famous robot. Members' ideas pull the AI toward a famous company's robot you can't use. Try: Add: "Show only our robot: a small three-wheeled orange rover with a gripper arm."
- Putting info on screen. The AI adds the meeting time and club name, and video tools garble text. Try: Add: "No text, no logos, no people."
- Getting a shot list with headings. The AI writes a formatted production plan instead of one prompt. Try: Add: "Output only the prompt, plain text, about 55 words."
What a strong prompt includes
- Sets the length
- Asks for a seamless loop
- Describes your own robot
- Rules out text and people
- Names a camera move
