Samples

Strengths

What Melon does best

Best at

  • Anime and illustrated motion
  • Character-driven anime scenes
  • Clips that connect one frame to the next
  • Long unlimited anime clips on higher plans

Trade-offs

  • No Character voices or audio references
  • One clip uses frames or references, not both
  • Tuned for anime: photoreal subjects come out better on Cherry or Plum
  • Prompts have a length limit

Prompt guide

How to prompt Melon

Tips that work on this model, example prompts to start from, and the exact prompts behind the samples above.

Tips

  • Say "anime" or "cel-shaded anime" and name the scene type: rooftop, school hallway, rainy street.
  • Describe wind, hair, and cloth motion; anime motion lives in the details.
  • Use a still from an anime image model as the first frame to lock the art style.
  • Keep prompts short and visual: one action per clip.
  • Turn audio on for ambience and effects.

Example prompts

  • Rainy street

    anime boy with a clear umbrella walks through a rainy shopping street at night, puddles reflect the shop lights, the camera tracks beside him

  • Magic moment

    a young witch opens an old book and glowing letters spiral out of the pages around her, sparkles, cel-shaded anime, slow push-in
