Transparent skeleton animal videos are one of the most engaging formats on Shorts right now. The concept is simple but visually unlike anything else — a real animal with a see through silicone body, bones and organs fully visible, reacting to whatever the video is about. People cannot stop watching.

This tutorial gives you a complete 3 stage master prompt system. Stage 1 generates 5 viral video ideas. Stage 2 writes a 35 second script. Stage 3 turns that script into scene by scene image and video prompts — all ready to use.

What you need: ChatGPT or Claude to run the prompts, Midjourney or Google Flow for images, Runway or Kling for video animations, CapCut to assemble everything. Free or freemium.

01 — How the System Works

The whole thing runs in 3 stages. You paste each stage into ChatGPT one after the other. By the end you have a complete video production package — title, script, character definition, background, and a prompt for every single scene.

The visual that makes this niche work is the transparent silicone character. Every animal in this format has a clear gel coating over its skeleton — bones visible, organs reacting, veins pumping. When the script says the stomach hurts, you see it glow green inside the body. When muscles grow, you watch the silicone layer expand. This is what keeps viewers glued.

02 — Stage 1: Generate 5 Video Ideas

Paste this into ChatGPT. It will give you 5 different animal and scenario combinations — each one designed to hook viewers with a "what if" or "what happens when" question that people genuinely want the answer to.

Stage 1 — Video Ideas
Give me 5 original video title ideas that trigger curiosity, focused on biological changes or hidden animal behaviors. Titles should follow hook patterns like "What if... happened?" or "What happens if [animal] never stops eating [food]?" These should combine scientific curiosity with dramatic warning. List only the titles.Example titles: What happens if you feed your dog only raw meat? What if your cat never gets its claws trimmed? What if your dog ate chocolate? What if your hamster never stops running?

03 — Stage 2: Write the 35 Second Script

Pick your favorite idea from Stage 1, paste it into the prompt below, and replace the placeholder with your chosen title. You will get a complete voiceover script with a hook opening, day by day progression, and a punchy closing line. Everything ready for ElevenLabs or any voiceover tool.

Stage 2 — Script Writing
My chosen title: [PASTE YOUR CHOSEN TITLE HERE]Write a dramatic English voiceover script of approximately 35 seconds about this topic. The script must follow this structure:Hook: A curiosity triggering opening line. Usually the same as the title. Progress: Stages labeled "Day 1", "Week 1", "Month 1" and "Year 1" (or hourly if the topic demands it), showing the situation worsening or changing dramatically. Final: A punchy closing line.Rules: Sentences must be short and punchy. Write it as a single paragraph, not broken into sections. Ready for voiceover, no formatting labels in the final text. Vivid and visual so every sentence can become a scene.Example output style: What if you fed your dog nothing but raw meat? Day one, you skip the kibble. You give him a raw steak. He finishes it in seconds. Week one, he is thriving. Raw beef and organs. His coat looks shinier. The toxins in his gut are disappearing. You think you cracked the code. Month one, your dog is getting jacked. Muscle tone increasing. Speed and agility at peak. He is so strong he starts walking you. Year one, your dog has become the boss. His brain running at full power. He is unrecognizable. And all of this, because you fed him raw meat.

Script tip: After generating, count the words. Aim for 90 to 110 words. Read it aloud at a slightly fast pace and it should hit 33 to 38 seconds. If it is longer, cut the weakest sentence from the middle section.

04 — Stage 3: Generate All Scene Prompts

Now paste your script into Stage 3. This is the big one. It will generate the fixed character prompt, the background, and then a separate image prompt and video motion prompt for every single sentence in your script. Everything is in English and ready to paste directly into Midjourney and Runway.

Stage 3 — Character, Background and Scene Prompts
I have a voiceover script. Split it sentence by sentence into scenes and create a full visualization plan. Provide the following:CHARACTER PROMPT (English, do not change or add to this formula): "A photorealistic [ANIMAL] with fully visible anatomically accurate skeleton, encased in a thin transparent silicone-like translucent skin layer that reveals all the bones underneath. The silicone coating is clear and glossy, like a gel or resin mold. Large expressive realistic eyes with detailed pupils. Natural pose, cinematic lighting with soft rim light to emphasize the translucent texture. Shallow depth of field, photorealistic quality, ultra detailed."BACKGROUND PROMPT (English): Based on the video topic, define one fixed minimalist high quality scene or location used throughout the entire video. Could be a kitchen, forest, or any other space that fits the topic best.SCENE BY SCENE PROMPTS (English): For every sentence or stage in the script, create both an Image Prompt (for Midjourney or DALL-E) and a Video Motion Prompt (for Runway or Luma).Important rules for scene prompts: If the script mentions eating chocolate, the character must be eating chocolate and chocolate must be visible in every relevant scene. If the script says the stomach hurts, show the transparent body with the stomach area glowing green and the character showing a nausea reaction. If muscles grow, show the silicone layer expanding and veins becoming visible with a zoom into the skeleton. Every scene must match the script exactly. All scenes focus on anatomical details and the transparent silicone aesthetic. Natural and impactful but never exaggerated.MY SCRIPT: [PASTE YOUR SCRIPT HERE]

05 — Generating and Assembling

Once you have all your scene prompts from Stage 3, here is how to use them:

  • Paste the Image Prompts into Midjourney one by one. Use the same character prompt base for every scene so the animal looks consistent throughout
  • Paste the Video Motion Prompts into Runway Gen 3 or Kling, using your Midjourney images as the start frame
  • Import everything into CapCut in script order, add your voiceover from ElevenLabs, and sync the clips to the narration
  • Add subtle body horror sound effects — heartbeat, bones cracking, liquid sounds — from Freesound. No background music, just the narration and effects
  • Export at 1080x1920 for Shorts
  • Total video length: 33 to 40 seconds
  • Best performing animals: dogs, cats, hamsters, gorillas, horses
  • Best performing scenarios: food extremes, no sleep, never stopping an action
  • Pin a comment: "Which animal should we try next? 👇"
  • Post at 7 PM to 10 PM local time for maximum reach
