The 58th Floor AI prompt (and why “58th floor” alone fails)

A working 58th Floor AI prompt describes the scene instead of naming it: a seamless teal studio, one vintage microphone hanging between two rappers, photo 1 on the left finishing the hook, photo 2 on the right taking the verse, one mouth moving at a time, and “not a penthouse or skyscraper”. Copy the prompts below.

Copyable 58th Floor AI prompts

Written for image-to-video models that take reference photos (Seedance 2.x, Dreamina, Kling). Replace the bracketed parts.

Video prompt (two photos)

A photorealistic vertical 9:16 live studio rap performance, about 15 seconds, four shots with hard cuts on the beat. A seamless, evenly lit teal-turquoise cyclorama studio; one vintage silver condenser microphone hangs upside down on a long black cable between the two performers at mouth height; nothing else in the room. Rapper 1 is the person in image 1 [describe hair and outfit] and always stands on the LEFT of the mic. Rapper 2 is the person in image 2 [describe hair and outfit] and always stands on the RIGHT. 0–5.5 s waist-up two-shot: Rapper 1 raps the end of the hook to camera, Rapper 2 vibes with mouth closed and turns toward Rapper 1 at 3.5 s. 5.5–8.7 s close-up of Rapper 2 taking the verse, eyes half closed, the mic at the left edge of the frame. 8.7–11.5 s wide, head to toe: Rapper 2 raps while Rapper 1 bounces beside them, mouth closed. 11.5–15 s low waist-up two-shot: Rapper 2 in profile raps at Rapper 1, who nods with an impressed face, mouth closed. Only one mouth moves at a time. Keep each person’s exact face, hair and clothes from their photo. Soft shadowless light, a touch of grain. This is a music studio, not a penthouse or skyscraper.

Most models will not hit these timings exactly without a motion reference; expect a few tries.

Storyboard image prompt (optional first step)

A photorealistic vertical 9:16 storyboard sheet of six film stills in a 2×3 grid, thin black lines between panels, no text. All six are from one live performance in the same seamless teal-turquoise studio with one vintage silver microphone hanging between two rappers. Rapper 1 (image 1) always on the left, Rapper 2 (image 2) always on the right, each in exactly the clothes from their photo. Panels: a wide head-to-toe shot; a waist-up two-shot; Rapper 1 alone waist-up; Rapper 1 close-up; Rapper 2 close-up with the mic at the left edge; a low two-shot with Rapper 2 in profile rapping at Rapper 1.

Feed the sheet back in as a reference image for the video so the faces and room stay consistent.

Avoid line

Avoid: skyscraper, penthouse, city view, windows, orange booth, extra people, text, captions, logos, watermarks, both rappers mouthing at once, mixed-up faces or clothes, extra limbs, morphing.

Add this to the negative prompt or the end of the main prompt.

Why “58th Floor AI” on its own fails

“58th Floor” is a song title, not a description. Image and video models read it literally and draw a high-rise apartment, a city view or a luxury penthouse. Describe what is in the frame instead: the teal room, the hanging mic, the two people and who raps when.

If a chatbot writes the prompt for you, tell it that 58th Floor is the Anderson .Paak and Cordae COLORS performance, a teal studio with one hanging mic, not a building.

What template sites do that a prompt alone cannot

The template sites do not rely on a prompt alone. The common recipe is a two-step render: an image model first draws a storyboard of the two people in the teal studio, then a video model renders from that storyboard, the two photos and a motion reference clip that carries the song’s timing, so each mouth opens on its own lines. The original sound is added to the finished file.

That motion reference is the hard part to reproduce at home, which is why the hand-over and the lip sync are where DIY attempts usually drift.

Questions about 58th Floor AI

Describe the scene rather than the title: a seamless teal studio, one vintage mic hanging between two rappers, photo 1 on the left finishing the hook, photo 2 on the right taking the verse, one mouth at a time, and “not a penthouse or skyscraper”. The full prompt is on this page.

Because the model reads “58th floor” literally. Remove it from the prompt and describe the teal music studio and the hanging microphone instead.

Image-to-video models that accept reference photos, such as Seedance 2.x. Template sites use Seedance 2.0 or 2.5 with a motion reference; a prompt alone gets the look but rarely the exact timing.

You do not need to. 58th Floor AI writes and runs its own prompt from your two photos; you only add the photos and, if you want, a short director’s note such as an outfit change.
