1. Street Breakdancer — Physics Showcase

Cinematic

A medium tracking shot of a breakdancer performing a windmill on a weathered concrete court at dusk: the dancer's body rotates in a continuous low-to-the-ground spin, each arm and leg moving in a physically precise arc — weight shifting visibly through hip and shoulder, fabric following with natural drag. The camera holds at a 45-degree angle, close enough to read the strain in the dancer's forearms. The surrounding court lights flicker on as evening falls. Slow push-in over 10 seconds. Cinematic quality, 1080p.

2. Anime Duel — Cherry Blossom Storm

Anime

An anime-style scene: two sword fighters clash on a stone bridge at sunset, cherry blossom petals swirling around them in a controlled vortex. Swords meet at the centre of the bridge in a slow-motion impact — sparks fly in a radial burst, each petal disturbed by the shockwave. Character outlines are clean and saturated, colours vivid — deep indigo and crimson against a gold sky. The camera pushes slowly from wide to tight as the blades meet. Studio Trigger-level animation quality, 1080p, 12 seconds.

3. Ink Wash — Crane in Morning Mist

Stylized

An ink wash painting animation in classical Chinese brush style: a single white crane standing in shallow water, framed by tall reeds and a distant mountain suggestion. Morning mist moves slowly across the frame, revealing and concealing the reeds. The crane lifts one leg, holds still for three seconds, then places it down with total stillness. Every brushstroke texture is visible — diluted ink gradients, dry-brush reed edges, the wet bleed of the mist layers. No colour, monochrome ink. The scene moves like a living scroll painting. 10 seconds.

4. MMA Training — Body Mechanics Close-Up

Cinematic

A close tracking shot following an MMA fighter drilling a rear-hook combination on a heavy bag in a gym at night: the first hook lands with the full mass of the shoulder rotating behind it — the bag shudders and swings — the second hook follows before it returns, and a step-in left body kick lands at the moment the bag swings back. Every micro-expression of exertion is visible: jaw tension, brow furrow, the breath release at impact. Shot at close range, floor-level rise to mid-chest during the combination. 1080p, athletic documentary quality, 12 seconds.

5. Ramen Shop at Night — Tokyo Alley

Documentary

A warm observational shot inside a narrow Tokyo ramen shop at 11 PM: a lone chef tilts a wooden ladle of tare into a ceramic bowl with complete precision, then lifts a tangle of noodles from the pot with chopsticks and places them with care — a slick of broth catches the bar light. Two salarymen sit shoulder to shoulder at the counter eating in silence. Steam rises from the broth in slow coils. The chef does not look up. Camera is static, framed from outside through the glass, slightly condensed. Wabi-sabi documentary quality, 1080p, 15 seconds.

6. Game CG — Dragon vs Knight Showdown

Game CG

A game CG-quality cutscene: a heavily armoured knight stands in a ruined cathedral nave, sword raised, as a large eastern dragon descends slowly through the shattered ceiling — its scales catching the moonlight from above, wing membranes translucent with backlight. The knight does not flinch. The dragon's head lowers to eye level, three metres away, breath misting in the cold air. The camera starts wide at the ceiling entry, then cuts to a tight push toward the knight's visor. Unreal Engine 5 cinematic quality, saturated fantasy palette, 15 seconds.

7. Perfume Commercial — Slow Motion Drop

Commercial

A luxury perfume commercial shot: a single droplet of amber perfume falls in extreme slow motion onto a polished obsidian surface — impact sends a crown splash outward, each spike of liquid perfectly formed. The camera is at surface level, tight macro, capturing the crown at the peak of its geometry before it collapses back. The bottle stands blurred in the background, its gold cap catching a reflection. Audio: absolute silence except for a single resonant tone. Black background, single warm spotlight on the drop. 1080p luxury commercial quality, 8 seconds.

8. Rainy Day — Character Study (Anime)

Anime

An anime character study: a girl in a school uniform sits alone at a bus shelter in heavy rain, watching the street through the rain curtain. Her micro-expressions shift slowly — a slight downturn at the corner of her mouth, eyes tracking something passing off-screen, then returning to the middle distance. Rain runs down the shelter glass in streams; one droplet traces a path she follows with her eyes. No dialogue. The camera holds close on her face, gently breathing — a slow zoom from mid-shot to close over 15 seconds. Studio Ghibli emotional quality, muted palette, 1080p.

9. Sahara Sandstorm — Desert Approach

Nature

A time-lapse wide shot of a Saharan haboob — a wall of sand 300 metres high — rolling toward a remote desert camp: the wall moves visibly in the accelerated footage, its leading edge a sharp vertical line of amber obscuring everything behind it. Two camels at the camp have already turned their backs. The wind picks up at the camp as the wall approaches — sand grains begin to skip across the ground surface. The haboob hits the camera at the end of the clip. National Geographic documentary quality, 1080p, 15 seconds.

10. Traditional Japanese Calligraphy

Stylized

A close macro shot of a calligraphy master's brush moving across white washi paper: the first stroke descends from the top of the character with full brush pressure, spreads into a wide ink bleed at the base, then the brush lifts into a fine tip for the second stroke's arc. The ink surface is wet and reflective for two seconds after each stroke before absorbing into the paper. Shot at a steep angle from above, the paper filling the frame. Every fibre of the brush visible on the stroke. Complete silence, no background. Craft documentary quality, 1080p, 10 seconds.

11. Cyberpunk Street Market — Night

Cinematic

A tracking shot through a neon-lit cyberpunk street market at 2 AM: stalls sell black-market augmentations and printed proteins under overpasses draped with power cables. A vendor with sub-dermal lighting in her forearms adjusts something behind a glass case. The camera moves at crowd pace — occasional eye contact from vendors — wet cobblestones reflect the pink and blue neons. The overhead rail carries a transit pod overhead, momentarily flooding the market with white light that fades. Blade Runner 2049 production quality, 1080p, 15 seconds.

12. Weightlifting — Olympic Clean

Sports

A gym-level wide shot of an Olympic weightlifter executing a clean and jerk at maximum load: the bar leaves the platform, the athlete's hips drive upward in a violent triple extension — the pull is fast enough that the bar floats for a fraction of a second — then the athlete drops under and catches the bar in the front-rack position at maximum depth, stands, pauses, then drives the jerk overhead to full lock. Every phase of the lift is rendered with physically accurate bar oscillation — the bar bends, bounces, recovers. Athletic documentary, 1080p, 12 seconds.

13. Ink Wash — Mountain Waterfall

Stylized

A vertical ink wash scroll animation depicting a mountain waterfall: the water cascades from a high misty peak, with brushwork that transitions from tight fast strokes at the falls to loose diluted washes in the river below. A pine tree clings to the cliff at mid-frame, its needles rendered with fine dry-brush strokes that move slightly in the implied wind. Mist obscures the peak. The camera scrolls slowly downward along the composition — from peak to riverbank — over 15 seconds. Traditional Chinese ink painting style, sepia ink on beige ground, no colour.

14. Boxer — Pre-Fight Tunnel Walk

Cinematic

A walk-behind tracking shot following a boxer walking from the locker room tunnel toward a roaring arena: the tunnel is lit by harsh fluorescent strips, the boxer's shoulders loose but jaw tight. As they near the entrance, the ambient crowd noise grows from a distant roar to a wall of sound. The arena light floods in from ahead — the boxer pauses for exactly one second at the threshold, takes a breath, then steps through. Camera stays low and close, following from the right side. The shot ends on the arena floor with the crowd visible in the upper frame. 1080p, HBO Sports quality, 15 seconds.

15. Anime Transformation Sequence

Anime

A magical girl transformation sequence in classic anime style: a young character is surrounded by a rising spiral of golden light ribbons that circle her figure — her ordinary clothes dissolve as the light intensifies, and the camera rotates slowly around her as the transformation outfit assembles piece by piece. Her hair lifts and extends in the wind of the transformation, and her eyes shift from brown to vivid amber mid-sequence. The sequence ends with a pose facing camera as the light ribbons fall away like petals. Dynamic camera arcs, saturated palette, 1080p, 12 seconds.

16. Urban Free-Running — Rooftop at Sunrise

Action

A dynamic tracking shot following a parkour athlete from behind across a sequence of urban rooftops at sunrise: the athlete leaps a 3-metre gap without breaking stride, hits the next roof's edge in a precise foot placement, rolls through a low overhang, and emerges into a long sprint along a parapet with the city below them and the orange sun at horizon level. The camera tracks at pace — slightly unstable, handheld quality — and keeps the athlete in the top third of the frame with the full city depth visible. 1080p, GoPro + cinematic mixed quality, 12 seconds.

17. Ikebana Arrangement — Time Lapse

Commercial

A top-down time-lapse of a Japanese ikebana flower arrangement being composed on a lacquered black platform: hands enter from the edges of the frame placing each element in carefully considered positions — first the primary branch, then the secondary, then a final spray of white chrysanthemums. The arrangement grows over the compressed footage from an empty platform to a completed composition. Each placement is deliberate and unhurried in real time, rapid in time-lapse. Lighting is soft and directional from one side — shadows track across the black surface as the arrangement grows. 1080p, craftsmanship documentary, 10 seconds.

18. Late Night Convenience Store — Japan

Documentary

A static observational shot inside a Japanese convenience store at 3 AM: the fluorescent interior is bright against the dark street outside. A lone cashier scans a man's items — onigiri, a can of sake, a phone charger — with complete economy of movement. The transaction ends. The man leaves. The store is empty for eight seconds. Then a salary woman enters, still in work clothes, and goes directly to the hot food case. No music. The camera does not cut. Ambient sounds only: the refrigerator hum, the door chime, the tap of items on the scanner. Observational cinema quality, 1080p, 20 seconds.

19. Macro — Bee on Lavender

Nature

An extreme macro shot of a honeybee foraging on a lavender flower spike: the bee moves methodically from floret to floret, proboscis extending, pollen accumulating visibly on its hind leg pollen baskets with each contact. The lavender sways slightly under the bee's weight. The depth of field is very shallow — the bee is pin-sharp, the stems behind dissolving into purple blur. Bright summer light from above, minimal shadow. The bee completes one full foraging sequence and departs at the clip's end. BBC Earth natural history quality, 1080p, 12 seconds.

20. Neon-Soaked Rain — Anime City

Anime

A wide anime-style establishing shot of a dense fictional city at night in heavy rain: overlapping neon kanji signs reflect off the wet multi-level streets below — pink, blue, yellow — with monorail lines threading between towers at mid-height. A lone figure with an umbrella crosses an elevated pedestrian bridge in the mid-ground, small against the scale of the city. Rain falls consistently across all depth planes, each drop catching individual neon reflections. The camera makes a slow vertical tilt — starting at the monorail level, descending to street level. Makoto Shinkai production quality, 1080p, 15 seconds.

Hailuo 2.3 Prompting Tips

Do This:

  • Name the style — "anime," "ink wash painting," "game CG" activate dedicated style modes
  • Write physical actions as a sequence — "first... then... at the end..."
  • Include body mechanics for human movement: weight, joints, fabric response
  • Use studio references for anime (Ghibli, Shinkai, Trigger) to anchor the palette
  • Specify camera direction explicitly: "slow push-in," "45-degree tracking shot"
  • State clip duration — Hailuo 2.3 paces action to fill the specified time

Avoid This:

  • Comma-separated tag lists — Hailuo 2.3 responds to narrative structure, not tags
  • Mixing styles in one prompt (realistic + anime in same shot)
  • Vague motion: "the character moves" — describe the specific action precisely
  • Over 400 characters without a clear focal hierarchy
  • Prompts without any camera specification — always say what the camera does
  • Skipping lighting — even a simple "warm backlight" significantly improves output

Frequently Asked Questions — Hailuo 2.3

What is the Hailuo 2.3 prompt generator?

The Hailuo 2.3 prompt generator on this page gives you 20 free, copy-ready text-to-video prompts for Hailuo 2.3, the latest AI video model from MiniMax. Hailuo 2.3 builds on Hailuo 02 with improved physical action rendering, better stylization support (anime, ink wash, game CG), and enhanced character micro-expression generation. It ranks #2 globally on Artificial Analysis benchmarks and #1 for physics simulation on WorldModelBench.

What is Hailuo 2.3 and who made it?

Hailuo 2.3 is an AI video generation model developed by MiniMax, a Chinese AI company founded in 2021. MiniMax released the original Hailuo model in 2024, followed by Hailuo 02 (a major quality leap), and Hailuo 2.3 as the most recent update in May 2026. Hailuo 2.3 improves on Hailuo 02 with better portrayal of physical actions, broader stylization support including anime, ink wash painting, and game CG visuals, and improved response to camera direction commands. It is available via the Hailuo AI web app, MiniMax API, and third-party platforms such as kie.ai and Runware.

How do I write effective prompts for Hailuo 2.3?

Hailuo 2.3 responds well to prompts written in full sentences that combine scene description with camera direction and motion specifics. Use this framework: (1) Camera type and movement — 'static wide shot,' 'medium tracking shot,' 'slow push-in'; (2) Subject, action, and timing — describe physical actions in concrete, sequential terms; (3) Style reference — for stylized output, specify 'anime,' 'ink wash,' 'game CG,' or reference a specific studio aesthetic; (4) Lighting and atmosphere — describe the light source, colour temperature, and mood; (5) Duration — specify clip length (8–20 seconds). Unlike tag-based models, Hailuo 2.3 parses narrative structure, so writing in full sentences produces stronger adherence than comma-separated keywords.

What makes Hailuo 2.3 different from Hailuo 02?

Hailuo 2.3 introduces three key improvements over Hailuo 02: significantly better physical action rendering (complex movements like martial arts, sports, and dance are more accurate without limb distortion), enhanced stylization support (the model now handles anime cel-shading, traditional ink wash painting, and game CG visuals with distinct fidelity to each style), and refined motion command following (camera directions such as 'pan right,' 'dynamic zoom,' and character instructions like 'jump and turn around' are executed with greater precision). The pricing remains the same as Hailuo 02 — more capability at no extra cost.

Where can I use Hailuo 2.3?

Hailuo 2.3 is accessible through several channels: the official Hailuo AI web app (hailuoai.video), the MiniMax API for developers (model IDs: hailuo-2.3 and hailuo-2.3-fast), kie.ai which offers Hailuo 2.3 and Hailuo 2.3 Fast via API, Runware's cloud inference platform, and VEED for production-level video workflows. The free tier on the Hailuo web app allows a limited number of generations per day. For high-volume use, the MiniMax API offers competitive per-second pricing.

How does Hailuo 2.3 compare to Kling 3, HappyHorse, and LTX-2.3?

Hailuo 2.3 and Kling 3 are the two closest competitors in the overall leaderboard, with Kling 3 leading on raw cinematic quality and camera movement control, while Hailuo 2.3 edges ahead on physics simulation accuracy and stylized output quality. HappyHorse-1.0 (Alibaba) leads on photorealism for nature and commercial shots but lacks anime or ink wash style support. LTX-2.3 (Lightricks) is open-source and generates synchronized audio in one pass — advantages Hailuo 2.3 does not match — but Hailuo 2.3 outperforms LTX-2.3 on character expression and stylization quality. For anime, stylized, and physical-action content, Hailuo 2.3 is the strongest choice in its tier.
