One prompt, one take
Describe the shotAction movie explosion: a woman in tactical gear walks calmly toward the camera down an industrial dock as a huge fireball erupts from a warehouse behind her, shockwave scattering debris and smoke, embers drifting. She does not look back. Slow push-in, low angle, blockbuster lighting, anamorphic flare, film grain.

Runway Gen-4 at a glance: six things to know
Gen-4 is Runway's video model, built to keep one character, object or place the same from shot to shot, from a single reference image. In EverAsk it sits beside the other video models, so you can run one prompt on each and keep the best take. The sample clips on this page come from EverAsk's own reel, each marked with the model that made it.
