[MASTER PROMPT]
[Subject]
A candid backstage waiting-room scene with two seated people. On the right: a virtual human/CG girl with bubblegum-pink bob haircut and straight bangs, wearing an oversized purple hoodie, sitting nervously with mouth slightly open, looking toward the person on the left. On the left: a man with long dark hair and a beard, wearing a loud multicolor patterned jacket and matching patterned pants, white sneakers, seated casually with one hand touching his face.

[Environment]
Neutral beige office/green-room waiting area with gray upholstered armchairs, a small black side table between them holding a clear water pitcher and cups, a low coffee table in the foreground, a tall gray cabinet/locker behind, wall posters/notice board on the left, ceiling vents/panels above.

[Composition/Camera]
Vertical 9:16, wide shot capturing both subjects and the room, subjects placed left and right with space above for a headline box. Social video still / screenshot feel.

[Lighting]
Soft flat indoor overhead lighting, neutral white balance, minimal harsh shadows.

[Style/Rendering]
Realistic room with a virtual-human character integrated cleanly, crisp text overlays, meme-ready composition.

[Text]
1) Add a rounded white rectangle with a black border at the top containing black uppercase text:
“POV: I INTERVIEWED STEVE AOKI
BUT I WAS NERVOUS”
2) Add centered mid-frame bold hot-pink text with dark outline: “WE’RE”

[Detail constraints]
Keep exactly two seated subjects, the two gray chairs, the side table with pitcher/cups, and the office room elements. Do not add extra people, microphones, cameras, logos, watermarks, or additional text.


[NEGATIVE PROMPT]
extra people, crowd, microphone, camera rig, stage lights, dramatic spotlight, heavy shadows, messy clutter, different room, outdoor scene, additional captions, emojis, watermark, logo, distorted faces, uncanny hands, overexposed whites, low-res, blurry text, illegible text, wrong typography

- Lens feel: 24–35mm (wide room coverage)
- Depth of field: deep to moderate (room readable)
- Steps: 28–45
- CFG / guidance: 5–7
- Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras (or equivalent)
- Seed: 20240806


[DELTA PROMPT STRATEGY — 10 DRIFT FIXES]
1) If the top text box changes: “rounded white caption box with black border, black uppercase text exactly as specified”
2) If “WE’RE” disappears: “add centered hot-pink outlined text: WE’RE”
3) If the room stops looking like an office: “beige office waiting room, ceiling vents, gray cabinet behind, wall posters left”
4) If there are extra props: “only two chairs, small side table, water pitcher, cups, and coffee table”
5) If the virtual girl changes hair: “bubblegum-pink blunt bob with straight bangs”
6) If hoodie color changes: “oversized purple hoodie, casual streetwear”
7) If the left subject outfit becomes plain: “loud multicolor patterned jacket and patterned pants, white sneakers”
8) If the shot becomes too tight: “wide shot showing both chairs and full text box”
9) If lighting becomes cinematic: “flat soft indoor overhead lighting, neutral white balance”
10) If text becomes unreadable: “crisp high-contrast typography, sharp edges, no blur”

How imma.gram Built This Steve Aoki Interview Meme — and How to Recreate It

This frame is a perfect example of “social proof without bragging.” The headline tells you something big happened, but the emotion is small and human: nervousness. That contrast is why people stop scrolling. It’s not “look how cool I am,” it’s “I did something scary and I’m still processing it.”

Visually, it’s built like a meme: clean POV text at the top, a single loud word in the middle, and a wide shot that clearly shows two people in a waiting-room setup. The scene feels like a backstage moment you weren’t supposed to see—which is exactly what makes it comment-worthy. Viewers don’t just consume it; they want to respond with advice, questions, and “what happened next?”

Why it went viral (the signals and the mechanics)

Signal	Evidence (from this image)	Mechanism	Replication Action
High-status context, low-ego tone	The top text references interviewing a notable guest, but the emotion is “I was nervous”	Humility makes the flex shareable and relatable	Pair a big moment with a vulnerable feeling (“I was nervous / I forgot what to say”)
Meme-first typography	Rounded white box with bold black text; one hot-pink emphasis word	Instant comprehension + screenshotability	Use a consistent POV box style and one mid-frame emphasis word per post
Backstage realism	Waiting-room chairs, water pitcher, posters, plain walls	“Unfiltered” environment feels authentic and behind-the-scenes	Choose ordinary rooms (green room, hallway, studio corner) and keep the set uncluttered
Clear social dynamic	Two people seated facing the same direction; one looks nervous	Viewers can project a story and fill in the dialogue	Stage a simple two-person setup with readable body language (nervous vs relaxed)

Best-fit scenarios

Collab teasers: announce a guest or partnership without a polished press-release vibe.
Event day diaries: capture the “before the moment” nervousness—people love the lead-up.
Series hooks: make it Episode 1 (“I was nervous”), then follow with the best question you asked.
Community prompts: ask viewers what you should ask next; it turns a post into a crowdsourced script.

Not ideal

Evergreen tutorials: this format is moment-driven; it needs a specific story context.
Highly aesthetic feeds: the charm is “real room energy,” not perfect styling.
Multi-point announcements: you get one strong sentence—don’t overload it.

Transfers (exactly 3)

Recipe 1: Swap the guest, keep the emotion
- Keep: POV text box + wide two-chair setup + vulnerable emotion
- Change: the guest name and the feeling (nervous → excited → starstruck)
- Slot template: “POV: I interviewed {guest} but I was {emotion}”
Recipe 2: Swap the location, keep the layout
- Keep: top POV box and one mid-frame emphasis word
- Change: waiting room → hallway → backstage curtain → café corner
- Slot template: “{two-person scene} in {location}, top POV text: {one sentence}, emphasis word: {1 word}”
Recipe 3: Creator-to-creator version
- Keep: ordinary room + honest caption tone
- Change: replace ‘interview’ with ‘collab / studio session / first meeting’
- Slot template: “POV: I met {creator} for a {first-time moment} and I was {emotion}”

Aesthetic read: why the room matters as much as the text

The beige office setting is doing a job: it lowers the perceived production level. That sounds bad, but it’s actually what makes the post feel believable. In a plain room, the audience focuses on faces, posture, and the headline. The virtual human stands out (pink hair, purple hoodie), but not in a “CG demo” way—more like a recognizable character in a real situation.

Observed	Evidence in the image	Recreate instruction (prompt knob)
Wide shot with context	Two chairs, table, posters, cabinet are all visible	“wide 9:16 shot, include both seated subjects and room details”
Vulnerable body language	One subject looks nervous, mouth slightly open	“nervous expression, mid-sentence mouth, subtle tension in posture”
Meme typography system	POV box at top + one emphasis word in hot pink	“rounded white POV caption box + mid-frame emphasis word in bold color”
Ordinary set dressing	Water pitcher, cups, plain walls	“waiting-room props: pitcher, cups, posters; keep uncluttered”
Color anchors	Pink hair + purple hoodie pop against beige/gray	“neutral room palette, one bright character accent color”

Prompt technique breakdown (make it repeatable)

Prompt chunk	What it controls	Swap ideas (EN, 2–3 options)
POV headline	Story clarity and click motivation	“POV: I met…”, “POV: I asked…”, “POV: I almost…”
Emotion word	Relatability and comment triggers	“nervous”, “starstruck”, “excited”
Scene layout	Whether it reads like a real moment	“two chairs”, “standing hallway chat”, “backstage couch”
Set dressing	Authenticity vs staged look	“water pitcher”, “paper cups”, “notice board posters”
Character contrast	Scroll-stopping identity	“pink hair”, “bright hoodie”, “signature accessory”

A quick template you can reuse

wide 9:16 waiting-room scene, two people seated on gray chairs,
neutral beige room, simple props (pitcher, cups),
POV caption box at top: “POV: {big moment} but I was {emotion}”,
mid-frame emphasis word: “{1 word}”

Remix steps (converge in 4 runs)

Baseline lock

Typography: the same POV box style and placement every time.
Scene layout: wide shot with two seats and simple props.
Color anchors: neutral room + one bright signature color on your main character.

One-change rule

Change only one or two knobs per run (headline OR guest OR room). Don’t rewrite the entire scene.

Example 4-step iteration sequence

Run 1: match the waiting-room scene and the POV box layout exactly.
Run 2: change only the emotion word (“nervous” → “starstruck”).
Run 3: change only the location (waiting room → hallway) and keep typography locked.
Run 4: change only the guest/second character while preserving the composition.
