Cyberpunk Game Trailer: Character Customization to City Load
A 15-second hyper-realistic CGI game trailer that opens on a tattooed, cybernetic-armed character seated in a white void with game UI, then walks through arm customization menus before the environment loads into a dense neon cyberpunk favela. The sequence uses high-angle framing, smooth zooms, orbits, and a pull-out to transition from menu screens to third-person gameplay.

Camera high angle looking down at character. Hyper-realistic CGI rendering, clean white background transitioning to dense cyberpunk favela environment. SEQUENCE [0s–15s] [0s–2s] High angle shot looking down. Character seated on white floor, looking up at camera with cigarette smoke rising. Game menu UI on left: START NEW GAME, CONTINUE highlighted, SETTINGS, EXIT GAME. Player profile top right showing INK_NOMAD LVL 23. A cursor clicks CONTINUE. The button pulses. Subtle bass hit. [2s–4s] Smooth zoom-in toward his left arm. UI panels slide in from left LEFT ARM EQUIPMENT panel appears. Selection highlights PHANTOM GRIP, then slides to CHRONOS CLAW. His left hand mechanically reconfigures fingers split apart, new claw-like digits lock into place, cyan LEDs pulse brighter. Stats bars animate on right panel. Servo click sounds. [4s–7s] Camera orbits smoothly around to his right side. New UI slides in ARMAMENT CUSTOMIZATION grid showing HAND, FOREARM, ELBOW, UPPER ARM components. Selection cycles through parts rapidly. His right arm disassembles section by section forearm plates detach, new plating slides on, elbow joint swaps, hand reconfigures with exposed wiring and pistons visible mid-swap. Each component locks with a mechanical snap. Tech Points counter ticks up. [7s–8.5s] Camera pulls back to medium shot. CONFIRM CONFIG button pulses. Click. All UI panels collapse inward. Character uncrosses legs, shifts position, now sitting relaxed, one knee up, cybernetic hand bringing cigarette to mouth. Smoke curls. [8.5s–10s] LOADING bar appears at bottom. Fills rapidly 0 to 100%. White environment begins darkening shadows creep in from edges, warm golden light bleeds through. The white void dissolves like fog burning off. Character starts standing up in one fluid motion. [10s–15s] Full environment loads around him as he rises to his feet. Dense cyberpunk favela materializes, neon signs flickering on, wet streets reflecting light, crowds populating, motorcycles, tangled power lines, stacked buildings climbing toward futuristic skyscrapers in the distance. Camera settles into third-person view behind him, showing his full tattooed back. HUD elements fade in, minimap top left, health bar, ammo counter bottom right. Quest marker appears. He takes a step forward into the street, puddle splashing under his shoe. Golden hour light cuts through the alley. Ambient city noise floods in, chatter, distant music, neon buzz. STYLEHyper-realistic CGI. White void sections: clean, mini

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in game cinematic prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In game cinematic | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| zoom | 15% | 9% | 1.74x |
| pull-out | 16% | 10% | 1.58x |
| neon | 21% | 12% | 1.7x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: golden hour 17%, orbit 14%, neon 12%, pull-out 10%.
The 15s duration is not arbitrary: 71% of the prompts in this library that state a duration ask for exactly 15 seconds — Seedance 2.0 accepts clips up to 15 seconds, so 15s is the model's ceiling and the most common choice.
