Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Dolly straight forward toward the subject at a steady speed, ending about 40% of the starting distance away. No zoom — the camera physically travels, with natural parallax between near and far objects. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen. Keep everything from @Image1 — identity, wardrobe, location, light, colour. Take only motion from @Video1. One continuous take, no cuts, no jumps.

Handheld

Feel every beat of the action.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. The camera is handheld: it pushes in slowly while floating and jittering the whole time — small constant shifts in position, tilt and roll, like an operator breathing. No jump cuts; the wobble never stops and never becomes violent. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen. Keep everything from @Image1 — identity, wardrobe, location, light, colour. Take only motion from @Video1. One continuous take, no cuts, no jumps.

Dolly zoom

Make the world shift around your subject.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Dolly zoom: the camera pulls physically backwards while the lens zooms in at the same rate, so the subject stays exactly the same size and place in frame while the background stretches and expands. The effect completes about seven seconds in, then holds. Only the background changes scale — everything keeps its own shape and never warps, melts or morphs; the move never reverses direction. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen. Keep everything from @Image1 — identity, wardrobe, location, light, colour. Take only motion from @Video1. One continuous take, no cuts, no jumps.

Pan left

Give the scene room to unfold.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Pan left on the spot: the camera rotates about 40 degrees to its left and never travels sideways. No truck, no orbit, no zoom; the subject slides out toward the right edge. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Track out

Reveal what surrounds the moment.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Dolly straight backwards away from the subject at a steady speed, ending about 2.5× the starting distance away. No zoom — the camera physically travels, with natural parallax between near and far objects. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Tilt up

Build a sense of scale.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Tilt up about 25 degrees from a fixed position, so the frame rises from the subject toward what is above it. No boom, no travel, no zoom — the camera body does not move. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen. Keep everything from @Image1 — identity, wardrobe, location, light, colour. Take only motion from @Video1. One continuous take, no cuts, no jumps.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Tilt down about 25 degrees from a fixed position, so the frame drops from above the subject onto it. No boom, no travel, no zoom — the camera body does not move. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Swish pan left

Shift the energy in an instant.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. The whip pan to the LEFT happens in the first instant of the shot, within about half a second, and the camera then holds completely still for the rest of the clip. It rotates on the spot only, never travels sideways; heavy horizontal motion blur, level horizon, no zoom. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Crane down

Land on what matters.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Descend vertically at a steady speed from high above the subject down to near ground level, keeping the lens level, so the subject rises in frame and towers above the lens by the end. No tilt, no pan, no zoom; natural parallax as it drops. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Zoom in

Bring one detail into view.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Pure optical zoom in to about four times tighter, ending on the subject's key detail; the camera body stays completely still. Zero parallax, no dolly — foreground and background magnify together. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. Key detail: [THE ONE PART TO LAND ON — e.g. her face, the logo on the bottle]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Zoom out

Let the frame breathe.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Pure optical zoom out to about four times wider, so the subject becomes small in its surroundings; the camera body stays completely still. Zero parallax, no dolly — foreground and background shrink together. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Crash zoom

Make the moment hit.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Hold wide for half a second, then a very fast zoom straight into the subject's key detail in under half a second, then hold tight and still. The camera position is fixed: no dolly, no pan, no tilt; no slow build-up and no waiting before the zoom. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. Key detail: [THE ONE PART TO LAND ON — e.g. her face, the logo on the bottle]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Dutch-angle track in

Give the scene a little unease.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Dolly slowly forward toward the subject while gradually rolling into a strong Dutch angle, ending with the horizon tilted about 15 degrees, low on the right. No pan, no zoom; natural parallax between near and far objects. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Worm’s-eye track in

Make a small moment feel immense.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. FIRST FRAME: the video opens on the same frame as @Video1's first frame — already a worm's-eye view. An ultra-wide lens rests on the ground several steps in front of the subject, looking up at them: frame one shows the ground running toward them and their whole figure rising above it. MOVE: from that first frame the camera only travels forward along the ground toward them, at ground level with the same upward angle the whole way, until they tower over the lens. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she looks down toward the lens and laughs.] They stay on the exact spot where they stand and never move from it. [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: nothing of it appears on screen. Keep everything from @Image1 — identity, wardrobe, location, light, colour. One continuous take.

Low angle

Give your subject presence.

Camera prompt

Frame one is a low angle: we look up at [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat] from just above the ground, close in front of them, the figure towering over the lens with the space rising behind — the same framing as @Video1's first frame. @Image1 = who is in the shot and where. @Video1 = the camera. This is a camera angle, not a camera move: the camera is set there from the first frame to the last. They stand on the same spot the whole time and act: [WHAT THEY DO IN PLACE — never leave empty, the camera doesn't move; e.g. she shifts her weight, looks down into the lens and folds her arms] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] Nothing of @Video1 appears on screen. Keep identity, wardrobe, location, light and colour from @Image1. One continuous take that starts low and stays low.

High angle

Find a different perspective.

Camera prompt

Frame one is a high angle: we look down on [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat] from about twice their height, a few steps in front of them, the whole figure seen from above with the ground around their feet — the same framing as @Video1's first frame. @Image1 = who is in the shot and where. @Video1 = the camera. This is a camera angle with a slow zoom: the camera is set high from the first frame to the last; only the lens zooms in, slowly and steadily, until the frame is filled by [THE ONE PART TO LAND ON — e.g. her face and shoulders]. They stand on the same spot the whole time. [WHAT THEY DO IN PLACE — one full sentence, never leave empty; e.g. She looks up into the lens and smiles.] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] Nothing of @Video1 appears on screen. Keep identity, wardrobe, location, light and colour from @Image1. One continuous take that starts high and stays high.

Top-down shot

See the scene from above.

Camera prompt

Frame one is a top-down view: we look straight down on them from high above, small in the centre, the floor filling the frame around them — the same framing as @Video1's first frame. @Image1 = who they are and where they are. @Video1 = the camera. The camera stays pinned in that one overhead spot for the whole clip. They stand in the centre of the [PLACE — e.g. hall] and [WHAT THEY DO IN PLACE — no name, no full stop; the camera never moves, so something must; e.g. slowly turn their head to look up at the camera], on the exact spot where they stand. [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] Nothing of @Video1 appears on screen. Keep their identity, wardrobe, the [PLACE], the light and colour from @Image1. One continuous take that starts overhead and stays overhead.

Model note
On MiniMax H3, write "Image 1 / Video 1" and replace the second line with: "Image 1 is only for who they are and where they are — it is not the opening frame. Video 1 = the camera, and its first frame is the opening frame."

Snorricam

Keep the subject at the center.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Stay locked to the subject like a body-mounted stabilizer in a tight head-and-shoulders close-up: the subject stays in exactly the same place at the same size for the whole shot while the background bobs, sways and streams past behind it. The framing never widens, never drifts and never zooms; the subject itself never shakes. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. Key detail: [THE ONE PART TO LAND ON — e.g. her face, the logo on the bottle]. [WHAT THEY DO — they must be moving; e.g. she runs down the street] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen. Keep everything from @Image1 — identity, wardrobe, location, light, colour. Take only motion from @Video1. One continuous take, no cuts, no jumps.

360° roll

Turn the scene on its axis.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Roll once around the lens axis through a full circle at a steady speed, returning to level only by finishing the turn. The camera stays in one place: no pan, no tilt, no travel, no zoom; the rotation never pauses or snaps back upright. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen. Keep everything from @Image1 — identity, wardrobe, location, light, colour. Take only motion from @Video1. One continuous take, no cuts, no jumps.

Upside-down spin

Turn the world right side up.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Start with the picture completely upside down and roll steadily around the lens axis until it is level and upright, still easing at the last frame. The camera stays in one place: no travel, no zoom; it turns exactly half a circle, never past upright and never a full circle. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Crane up

Let the bigger picture unfold.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Climb straight up through the air at a steady speed with the lens kept level, so the subject sinks down the frame and drops out of the bottom. No tilt, no pan, no zoom; natural parallax as it rises. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Bolt arm

Move with precision and pace.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Robot-arm move: hold a close-up, then snap out to a wide shot, snap round to the subject's side, then snap in to a three-quarter close-up; each whip takes under half a second and each hold is rock steady. Every whip is one continuous camera move with motion blur, never a cut, never a jump; the camera stays aimed at the subject throughout. No zoom. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Climb high into the air while tilting down at the same time, so the subject stays centred and is seen more and more from above, ending high up looking down on it. Smooth and continuous; no pan, no zoom. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Steadicam front tracking

Stay with the subject, step for step.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Steadicam front tracking: the camera travels backwards directly in front of the walking subject, holding the same distance and height, floating smoothly with no jolts, so the subject stays the same size in frame while the scene streams past behind. No jolts, no pan, no zoom; both subject and camera come to rest near the end. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT THEY DO — they must be walking; e.g. he walks toward the camera along the path] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

POV

See the world through their eyes.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. First-person POV: the shot is what a person sees as they walk forward through the scene — eye height, gentle head bob and sway with each step, and two natural look-arounds to the side before settling. No body or face of the viewer is visible; no cuts. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT THE VIEWER PASSES — e.g. market stalls and people on either side] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.

Round trolley · 360°

Explore every side of the moment.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Round trolley: the camera travels a full 360-degree circle around the subject at constant distance and constant height, staying aimed at it the whole way, so the background sweeps completely around behind it. Level angle, no zoom; the circle completes near the end, then settles. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHOT — never leave empty, or the scene freezes; e.g. she laughs and turns toward the window] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen. Keep everything from @Image1 — identity, wardrobe, location, light, colour. Take only motion from @Video1. One continuous take, no cuts, no jumps.

Spiral tracking shot

Follow the story as it turns.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Spiral tracking: the camera starts high above the subject and spirals down and around it to ground level, closing in as it descends and staying aimed at it, moving from the very first frame. No pause at the start; one unbroken take — never a cut, never a jump, never a new shot, the picture never changes instantly. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat].

Trucking right

Let the world move across the frame.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Truck right on a fixed heading: the camera slides sideways at a steady speed, points straight ahead the whole time and never turns, and the subject is free to drift toward the left edge. No pan, no orbit, no zoom; the background slides straight across with strong parallax. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat].

Round trolley following · 360°

Circle the action as it unfolds.

Camera prompt

@Image1 = the scene. @Video1 = camera reference. Follow @Video1's camera move exactly: same path, same rotation, same speed, same duration — no more, no less. Round trolley following: the subject keeps walking forward and the camera circles all the way around it while travelling with it, holding the same distance and height and staying aimed at it, so the orbit moves through the scene instead of staying in one place. It starts gently and is fastest at the end; no zoom, no cuts. Main subject: [WHO OR WHAT THE CAMERA IS ON — e.g. the woman in the red coat]. [WHAT THEY DO — they must be walking; e.g. he walks forward along the path] [ONLY IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN FRAME, add this sentence — otherwise delete this line: "The others stay where they are and keep doing what they are doing."] @Video1 is an invisible motion guide: none of its shapes, posts, markers or grey surfaces may appear on screen.
