The prompt

Retro-futuristic 1970s sci-fi cinema look, shot on 35mm film. Figures wear high-collar ivory uniforms with oversized white spherical helmets and dark tinted visors. Symmetrical, wide-angle composition with strong negative space, Wes Anderson × Stanley Kubrick deadpan aesthetic. Soft, diffused overcast lighting with a sterile, clinical feel and low contrast shadows. Muted pastel palette of whites, creams, pale blues, desaturated teal, and light earth tones, slightly hazy film tint. Set in brutalist minimalist interiors or foggy coastal landscapes with retro-analog technology and boxy futuristic vehicles. Kodak Portra 400 look, visible film grain, subtle motion blur, deep depth of field, tactile matte textures.

Which AI model works best

These prompts are written for image-generation models (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Flux) — not chat LLMs. Copy them into your image tool. Midjourney v7 excels at photorealistic portraits; Stable Diffusion 3.5 is the best for fine-tuning and custom checkpoints; DALL-E 3 integrates seamlessly with ChatGPT.

How to customize this prompt

Keep the style descriptors and lighting keywords — these are what make the output consistent. Change the subject, background, and pose freely. Add or remove quality modifiers like "hyper-detailed", "cinematic lighting", "35mm film". For Stable Diffusion, use weight syntax: (keyword:1.3) to emphasize.
