D

Dolly zoom

The Hitchcock vertigo effect. Subject stays put, the world warps behind them.

A strong Hitchcock dolly zoom. The camera physically pushes in toward the subject while the lens zooms out. The subject stays exactly the same size while the background stretches and warps violently behind them. Cinematic tension.

N

Neon rain walk

Night city, wet streets, handheld follow. Reads well on a phone screen.

Handheld tracking shot following someone through a rain-soaked alley at night. Neon signs reflect in the puddles and on their wet jacket. Steam rises from a vent. The camera stays just behind their shoulder.

O

Overhead reveal

Starts tight, pulls back to show the whole scene. Good opener.

Top-down drone shot starting tight on a single figure standing in an empty parking lot, then rising steadily to reveal the whole city grid around them. Flat midday light, long hard shadow.

P

Product on a turntable

The default ecommerce shot. Works from a description alone.

Make a product photo move

You already have the product shot. This gives it motion for a feed.

Slow push-in on the product with a gentle parallax so it separates from the background. Light sweeps across the surface once. Everything else stays still.

G

Golden hour close-up

Backlit portrait with a slow push-in. The most forgiving setup there is.

Slow push-in on a woman's face at golden hour, backlit so the rim of her hair glows. Shallow depth of field, the street behind her melts into soft bokeh. She turns toward camera and the light catches her eyes.

B

Bring an old photo to life

Subtle breath and blink on a still. Keep the motion small or it looks wrong.

Gentle wind moves the hair and fabric. The subject blinks once and breathes. The background stays completely still. Subtle, natural, no exaggerated motion.
