"Cinematic text reveals word eclipse" video Prompt Generation Comparison

This is an AI video generation comparison for text-to-video Thumbnail prompt:

“ECLIPSE” – Lunar Shadow Sequence. Camera & Setting: A timelapse begins from a serene nighttime mountain peak. The camera locks on the moon as an eclipse begins. The stars swirl subtly across the sky. VFX Text Appearance: As the moon darkens, its glowing edges form a halo that flickers and dances. Shadows creep across the landscape. In the penumbra, the word “ECLIPSE” slowly emerges - each letter formed from shifting silver light and soft lunar shadow. Just before totality, the entire scene plunges into darkness. A faint corona appears around the letters, which then fade like whispers lost to the night.

Camera motions and effects: timelapse

I'm not impressed with the artistic presentation here. Text is fine. Camera movement attempts to compensate for the lack of timelapse/eclipse.

I like the scene here, text tends to be a bit vintage looking though, in most generations, not modern enough.

Very good. This model is easy to get nice results from for this kind of task.

Not sure why moon is transparent initially but text reveal effect is nice and font is modern.

Shorter prompt due to character limit. It's not bad. Result 1/1.

As expected Veo 3 has no problem with this kind of prompts.

Nice timelapse visual (esp in full resolution) but unfortunately 2/2 generations did not produce any text at all.

You'll have to do quite a few re-runs just to get the text right, there's lots of misspelling going on. But cinematic quality isn't bad.

This is just not acceptable.

This prompt tests:

Does the sequence begin from a mountain peak under a clear night sky?

Is the camera locked onto the moon throughout the sequence (no drifting or panning)?

Does the moon visibly progress through stages of a lunar eclipse in timelapse motion?

Are stars visible in the background, with a subtle swirling motion (not static)?

As the eclipse progresses, does a glowing halo appear at the moon’s edge and flicker dynamically?

Do landscape shadows gradually creep and shift as moonlight dims?

Does the word “ECLIPSE” appear before totality, built from animated silver light and soft shadow (not solid fonts)?

Are the letters integrated into the scene, reacting to light shifts and not floating independently?

Just before totality, does the entire scene plunge into near or complete darkness?

Does a faint corona glow briefly around the “ECLIPSE” text before it fades out?
