## How it works
This workflow creates a cinematic Instagram reel in a surreal underwater world, featuring oversized everyday objects and tiny divers that emphasize scale.

Each scene is animated with subtle camera movement, light rays, particles, and natural underwater dynamics. The clips are then automatically combined into one cohesive video with transitions and cinematic music.

The final result is optimized for Instagram and ready to post as a visually striking reel with minimal effort.

## Step by step
### How to use this template

This template generates a full cinematic underwater video - from images to final Instagram-ready output

### Step 1 — Edit the scenes (optional)

Each scene starts with a Text Prompt node.
You can:

Change the concept (e.g. desert / space / city)
Adjust details (objects, lighting, mood, scale)
Keep structure but swap theme

Tip: Keep the “giant scale + small human” contrast — it’s what makes the video feel viral.

### Step 2 - Generate images

Run the image nodes (Scenes 1 - 8).
Each scene produces a high-quality visual.

If needed:

Re-run specific scenes

Slightly tweak prompts for better composition

### Step 3 - Turn images into video

Each image feeds into an Image-to-Video node.

Already configured:

Subtle cinematic motion
Stable structure (no morphing)
Smooth camera movement

You can tweak:

Camera motion (zoom / orbit / pan)
Motion intensity

### Step 4 - Combine all scenes

The flow automatically:

Merges all clips

Adds transitions

Creates a continuous story

No action needed unless you want to:

Change clip order

Adjust transition duration

### Step 5 - Add music

The Suno node generates cinematic background music.

You can:

Change mood (epic / dark / emotional / ambient)

Add vocals if needed

### Step 6 - Final output

The flow:

Merges video + audio

Trims to optimal length

Formats for Instagram

### Step 7 — Publish (optional)

Connected Instagram node will:

Upload the video as a Reel
