Quick Win Prompt:
"Think of one scene you need for your content that shows human emotion or movement (a customer testimonial moment, someone using your product, a person reacting to a transformation). Open Hailuo Video, write a detailed prompt describing the scene including the action, emotion, setting, and camera angle you want. Generate your 5-second clip and watch how Hailuo captures realistic facial expressions and natural body language. Extend it or regenerate with adjustments until it matches your vision. You now have professional video footage that would've required actors and a full production setup."
