Drake AI video prompts

Copy-paste prompts for the Burning Bridges party scene: a warm, chandelier-lit dining room, a handheld phone-style camera, and you in the lead, raising a silver cup and waving. The prompts name no one and quote no lyrics.

Drake AI video prompt for reference-to-video tools

Tools that take a reference clip plus an image (the Seedance or Kling kind, often labeled reference-to-video or character swap) work best with a plain instruction to replace one person. Add your clip as Video1 and your photo as Image1, then paste:

Replace the lead person in Video1 with the person in Image1. Keep the face, hairstyle, skin tone and outfit from Image1, consistent in every frame. Keep everything else from Video1 unchanged: the camera movement, the timing, the body movement and gestures, the room, the warm chandelier lighting, the other people and their faces, and the audio. The new lead holds the same silver cup in the same hand. No text, no logos, no watermark.

Only use a clip you are allowed to use, and a photo of yourself or someone who agreed. The prompt doesn't name anyone; it points at the lead in the clip.

Drake AI video prompt for image-to-video tools

Image-to-video tools only get your photo, so the prompt has to describe the whole scene: the room, the light, the camera and the moves. Use your photo as the start image and paste:

Horizontal 16:9 video, one continuous handheld shot that looks like a phone camera at a private party. A warm, dim private dining room lit by a large crystal chandelier, dark wood and soft amber light, friends standing close around a long table holding silver metal cups, slightly out of focus. The lead is the person from the start image, same face, hairstyle and outfit, standing in the middle of the room facing the camera. The lead sways to the music, points into the crowd, flicks a hand toward the camera, raises a silver cup and waves at the lens, then covers their eyes with one hand. Handheld camera at shoulder height with slight natural shake, staying close on the lead, no cuts, no zoom. Natural skin tones. No captions, no subtitles, no text, no logos, no watermark.

Keep the description of the person short. The start image already carries the face and the outfit, and extra detail tends to fight it.

Drake AI video prompt variants

Each variant is a complete image-to-video prompt, ready to copy. They keep the same room and camera and change who takes the lead.

Man

The default version. Change the outfit line to match your photo.

A warm, dim private dining room lit by a large crystal chandelier, dark wood and soft amber light, friends standing close around a long table holding silver metal cups, slightly out of focus. The lead is the man from the start image, same face and haircut, in a dark jacket over a plain tee, standing in the middle of the room facing the camera. The lead sways to the music, points into the crowd, flicks a hand toward the camera, raises a silver cup and waves at the lens, then covers their eyes with one hand. Handheld camera at shoulder height with slight natural shake, staying close on the lead, no cuts, no zoom. Natural skin tones. No captions, no subtitles, no text, no logos, no watermark.

Woman

Same moves. Say whether your hair is up or down so it stays the same from frame to frame.

A warm, dim private dining room lit by a large crystal chandelier, dark wood and soft amber light, friends standing close around a long table holding silver metal cups, slightly out of focus. The lead is the woman from the start image, same face and hairstyle, in a black top, standing in the middle of the room facing the camera. The lead sways to the music, points into the crowd, flicks a hand toward the camera, raises a silver cup and waves at the lens, then covers their eyes with one hand.

Pet

A dog can't hold a cup, so the cup sits on the table and a paw does the wave. Swap "dog" for your animal.

A warm, dim private dining room lit by a large crystal chandelier, dark wood and soft amber light, friends standing close around a long table holding silver metal cups, slightly out of focus. The lead is the dog from the start image, sitting on a chair at the head of the table facing the camera, a silver cup on the table in front of it. The dog sways its head to the music, looks around at the crowd, lifts one paw toward the camera as if waving, then lowers its head and covers its eyes with a paw. Handheld camera at shoulder height with slight natural shake, staying close on the lead, no cuts, no zoom. Natural skin tones. No captions, no subtitles, no text, no logos, no watermark.

Cartoon or 3D character

For your own character or avatar. Use a clear front view as the start image.

A warm, dim private dining room lit by a large crystal chandelier, dark wood and soft amber light, friends standing close around a long table holding silver metal cups, slightly out of focus. The lead is the 3D cartoon character from the start image, same design and colors, standing in the middle of the real room facing the camera, lit by the same warm light as the people around it. The lead sways to the music, points into the crowd, flicks a hand toward the camera, raises a silver cup and waves at the lens, then covers their eyes with one hand. Handheld camera at shoulder height with slight natural shake, staying close on the lead, no cuts, no zoom. Natural skin tones. No captions, no subtitles, no text, no logos, no watermark.

Two friends

Two people from one photo, sharing the point, the cup and the wave. Both need to have agreed.

Handheld camera at shoulder height with slight natural shake, staying close on the lead, no cuts, no zoom. Natural skin tones. No captions, no subtitles, no text, no logos, no watermark.

Why a Drake AI video prompt can't copy the moves exactly

A prompt describes a scene; it can't hand over choreography. From text alone the model invents the sway, the point and the wave on every run, and it rarely lands them on the beat.

Reference-to-video gets closer, because the clip carries the movement. The generator on this site goes all the way: it uses the scene as its base and only replaces the lead with the person in your photo. The how-to guide compares all three methods side by side.

Drake AI video prompt FAQ

Which AI video model works best with these prompts?

For the replace-the-lead prompt, a reference-to-video model that accepts a clip and an image. For the scene prompts, any image-to-video model; starting from your photo keeps the face far closer than text alone.

Can I use these prompts for free?

Yes. Copy them and adapt them however you like. Whether generating the video is free depends on the tool and plan you use.

Can I use these prompts to generate Drake himself?

No. The prompts don't name anyone, and this site doesn't make videos of Drake or any other public figure. Use a photo of yourself or of someone who agreed.
