Camera Moves
Slow push-in |
Builds focus on the subject; good for products and reveals |
Pan left / right |
Follows action or reveals a wide scene |
Orbit |
Circles the subject; shows shape and depth |
Handheld |
Slight shake for a documentary, real-life feel |
Static wide |
Locked camera; lets the action carry the shot |
Image-to-Video Tips
Clean source image |
Sharp, well-lit, uncluttered background |
Describe motion only |
The image already sets the look; say what moves and how |
Keep subject centered |
Gives the model room for camera moves without cropping |
Use for consistency |
Same product photo = same shape and colors across clips |
