Get Movie Studio Quality Images with Midjourney

Want to create images in Midjourney that look like actual movie stills? There are prompts that can help you achieve this level of realism.

Sometimes simple prompts can give amazing results. We looked at two easy prompt types that produce incredibly realistic AI images, almost like photographs or movie screenshots.

Prompt Method One: The "Stills Archive" Trick

This first method uses a specific phrase to guide Midjourney towards a cinematic look. Many people online have shared variations of this idea.

How to Use This Prompt

The basic structure is:

[LI]`Stills archive, Studio Name.com`[/LI]

You replace "Studio Name" with the name of a movie studio like Disney, Warner Brothers, Sony, or Lionsgate. Remember to put a space before the ".com".

This prompt alone can produce some very realistic images that look like they came from a studio's collection.

Adding a Specific Movie

To make it even more specific, you can add a movie title at the beginning.

[LI]`Movie Title, Stills archive, Studio Name.com`[/LI]

For example, "Guardians of the Galaxy, Stills archive, Disney.com" can generate images that look very similar to scenes or character shots from those movies.

We saw examples using Disney (great Mickey Mouse), Warner Brothers (excellent Joker and Batman), Sony (impressive overall), and others. These images often look strikingly real.

Trying this prompt in Midjourney often gets very close to generating images that resemble actual movie stills.

Trying Other AI Tools

We also tested this prompt in other AI image tools like Free AI and Leonardo AI. The results varied, but Leonardo AI using certain models did a great job creating realistic images with this prompt too. This shows that the prompt structure itself is powerful, even if results vary by tool.

If you find yourself generating many variations of these prompts, managing them can get tricky. Consider using a tool designed for this, like the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can help streamline your workflow and manage your prompts efficiently. You can check it out here: Explore TitanXT Midjourney Automation.

Prompt Method Two: Simple Realism

This second prompt is surprisingly simple, perhaps even basic, but it yields fantastic realistic images.

The Bare Prompt

The base prompt is just a short phrase:

[LI]`the most realistic photorealistic photo ever taken`[/LI]

Putting just this phrase into Midjourney (or other tools) without specifying a subject produces images that look incredibly detailed and real, even without a specific focus.

The initial results from this simple phrase look very good, capturing realistic textures and lighting.

Adding a Subject

The prompt gets more interesting when you add a subject using brackets:

[LI]`the most realistic photorealistic photo ever taken [subject]`[/LI]

Just add what you want the photo to be of inside the square brackets. For example:

[LI]`the most realistic photorealistic photo ever taken [a beautiful woman]`[/LI]

[LI]`the most realistic photorealistic photo ever taken [a supercar]`[/LI]

Adding a subject like "a beautiful woman" or "a supercar" while keeping the base phrase creates images that look like high-quality, professional photographs of those subjects. The results are very realistic and detailed.

This simple phrase combined with a subject is an easy way to aim for photorealistic outputs in Midjourney.

Making the Most of Realistic Prompts

These two prompt methods, the "Stills Archive" structure and the simple "most realistic photo" phrase, both show that you don't always need complicated prompts to get highly realistic results in Midjourney.

By experimenting with different studio names, movie titles, or subjects, you can create a huge variety of realistic art.

Remembering and reusing the best prompts can save you time. A platform that helps you organize and automate your prompt generation process, like the Midjourney Automation Suite offered by TitanXT, could be very useful. It's designed to help you manage prompts and scale your image creation efforts. Find out more and see how it works: Learn About Automating Midjourney.
