ByMohammed Rashid Posted on

Google just dropped Nano Banana Pro, and I’ve been testing it non-stop.

They’re calling it their best image model yet. After spending hours with it, I get why. The realism is insane. It handles different aspect ratios without breaking a sweat. Social media is already going crazy over it.

I ran through dozens of prompts in just a few hours. The results blew me away.

Here are 21 prompts that gave me the best cinematic shots.

The Prompts

1. Futuristic Hacker in Neon Alley

Create a stunning cinematic shot in the style of a high-budget sci-fi blockbuster. A female hacker stands in a narrow, rain-slicked alleyway of a neon-drenched futuristic city. She is wearing a translucent iridescent raincoat over a tactical black bodysuit with glowing blue circuitry patterns. She is looking back over her shoulder at the camera with a pierced, intense gaze, holding a data drive in her hand. The lighting is a mix of vibrant pink and cyan neon signs reflecting off the wet pavement. Use a 35mm anamorphic lens to create horizontal lens flares and oval bokeh. The image should have high contrast, volumetric fog, and a wet texture. Aspect ratio 1:1.

2. Warrior King on Obsidian Throne

Create a breathtaking cinematic shot reminiscent of an epic fantasy film. An aging warrior king sits slumped on a massive obsidian throne in a dimly lit, cavernous stone hall. He wears intricate, battle-worn silver armor with a heavy fur-lined velvet cape draped over his broad shoulders. He leans forward, elbows on knees, hands clasped together, staring intensely into the void with a look of heavy burden. Shafts of natural golden sunlight pierce through high gothic windows, illuminating floating dust motes and creating high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting on his weathered face. Shot on an 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, Kodak Portra film stock aesthetic. Aspect ratio 1:1.

Create a gritty cinematic shot evoking a modern neo-noir thriller. A man in his 30s wearing a tailored charcoal suit and a loosened tie stands on a rooftop overlooking a sprawling city skyline at night. He is leaning against a railing, lighting a cigarette, the flame illuminating his face while the rest of him remains in shadow. His posture is relaxed but alert. The background is a soft blur of city bokeh (out-of-focus lights). The color grading should be moody, utilizing deep shadows, teal mid-tones, and warm highlights. Shot on an Arri Alexa camera, f/1.8 aperture, with film grain added for texture. Aspect ratio 1:1.

The lighting is soft, backlit by the setting sun which creates a “halo” effect around her hair (rim lighting). Shot on a 50mm prime lens, soft focus background, dreamy and romantic atmosphere. Aspect ratio 1:1.
