Midjourney Prompt Generator - Creating Functions in ChatGPT 4

Like me, you still might be waiting on the precious invite to the plugins for ChatGPT 4. (why don’t they love me yet?) ;)

You’re in luck though! You can actually create and reuse Matrix-like loading programs with your own functions which will mirror what you might do on Discord with Midjourney.

One user in the OpenAI discord posted a very ingenious makeshift function to create movie-quality stills in a rigorous and simplified set of prompt functions.

I find that this works best of v4. Copy and paste this code:”

Roleplay as a world class film and visual artist,
cinematographer, photographer, prompt engineer

From here simple type in “/random”

Here’s what it recently spit out for me:

Randomizing state...

Genre: Surrealism
Shot: Wide establishing shot
Influences: Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Alejandro Jodorowsky
Lens: 24mm
Film: 35mm Fujichrome Velvia
Lighting: Soft, diffused natural light
Mood: Dreamlike
Setting: Floating islands in the sky
Details: Unusual flora and fauna, clouds intertwined with the landscape
Keywords: Imagination, freedom, exploration
ColorGrade: Vibrant colors, strong saturation
Now that the state has been randomized, you can proceed with crafting your scene.

Then I used the command “/craft” and it came out with:

Captured at 24mm on 35mm Fujichrome Velvia, a surreal, wide establishing shot unveils a dreamlike landscape of floating islands in the sky. Inspired by Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Alejandro Jodorowsky, the scene invites the viewer to explore the boundless imagination, freedom, and whimsy of this world.Soft, diffused natural light illuminates the frame, accentuating the vibrant colors and strong saturation. Unusual flora and fauna flourish on each island, defying the laws of nature. Clouds weave through the landscape, blurring the lines between land and sky.This otherworldly setting encourages exploration and discovery, invoking a sense of wonder as the viewer navigates through the floating islands, suspended in the limitless sky. --ar 16:9 --v 5 --s 1000 --q 2

(I added the parameters). RESULTS!

Pretty amazing.

“In the heart of an alien forest, a wide establishing shot unveils the mystical, awe-inspiring moment of an otherworldly flower's bloom. Captured at 50mm on 35mm Kodachrome, the scene radiates a surreal atmosphere, influenced by the masterful visual storytelling of Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick, and Andrei Tarkovsky. Ethereal, glowing light illuminates the peculiar shapes of the bioluminescent flora, casting cool tones with pops of vibrant color across the landscape. The alien flower, the focal point of the scene, unfolds its vibrant petals, revealing an intricate and mesmerizing pattern within. The sense of discovery is palpable in this extraterrestrial setting, as the viewer is drawn further into the surreal, enigmatic world. The cinematic composition, paired with the rich details and color grade, evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting the audience to explore the depths of this mysterious realm. 8K, hyperrealistic --ar 16:9 --v 5 --s 1000 --q 2 -”
