Hello there, and welcome to r/VideoPrompts!

Here, users submit ideas for videos, movies, animations and other things like that. Then, other users go and turn them into a reality! Though we do have some rules.

1. Prompts and top-level responses must not be low-effort content. This includes:

Single word prompts (except image prompts)
Troll prompts. They will be removed without notice or mercy.
copypasta
Copy-cat prompts (taking a recent prompt and changing only a small detail)

2. Top level responses to a prompt must be a video or requests for clarification. "This has been done before" comments are not allowed.

3. All prompts must include appropriate flair.

4.No posting of other peoples work. Doing so is grounds for a permanent ban without warning.

5.The moderators reserve the right to remove without notice anything we feel is harmful to the community. This includes, but is not limited to any forms of hate speech, racism, pedophilia, bestiality, incest, or rape. (If in doubt, use modmail)

6.No brigading. Creators linking to videos from personal subreddits should wait until the original post is a minimum of 24 hours old to avoid vote manipulation and/or brigading. Links going from a video to a personal subreddit are allowed.

VP Video Prompt for an idea you have that you would like to see other people use.

IP Image Prompt for prompts based off an image or album of images.

AP Audio Prompt for prompts based off a song, playlist or other sounds.

EU Established Universe if your prompt stems from an established universe (sort of a loose term, considering that you can make GMod or SFM videos and stuff using existing characters and still have it meet the normal [VP] tag. Rule of thumb: if it's supposed to strictly stick to the lore of something (unless it's a crossover).

CV Constrained Video if your prompt has a specific challenge (in only a minute, over five minutes, scripts, etc.).

CO Collab for collabs and such.

OT Off-Topic for anything else.

Please don't hesitate to post any video ideas here! Thanks, and have fun.
