Final Result
Inspired by "The Matrix. "The scene begins with the camera smoothly circling Neo, standing in a digital rain background, his expression stern. Then, the camera quickly switches to a medium shot, capturing his classic bullet-dodging backward lean, his trench coat flowing, movements graceful and full of tension.
Effect 2: 360-Degree Circling + Pull Back
Effect Description: The camera performs a slow and detailed 360-degree circling around the subject, fully showcasing the subject's appearance, clothing, expressions, and other details. Then the camera gradually pulls back, integrating the subject into a broader environment, creating an epic or lonely feeling.
Prompt Formula: Perform 360-degree camera movement on [subject description], camera slowly rotates around [subject], showing [subject]'s [specific details, such as: appearance/clothing/expression] details from different angles, then camera pulls back [description of the overall environment atmosphere shown].
Prompt Example: Perform 360-degree camera movement on [Captain Levi of the Survey Corps wearing his uniform and holding vertical maneuvering equipment blades standing at the edge of a high wall], camera slowly rotates around [Levi], showing [Levi]'s cold gaze and blood-stained blade details from different angles, then camera pulls back [showing a ruined city behind him and the approaching shadows of titans in the distance].

Final Result
Inspired by "Attack on Titan. "The camera meticulously circles Captain Levi, standing on the edge of Wall Maria, gazing into the distance. Viewers can see his determined profile and the Wings of Freedom cape fluttering in the wind. Then the camera slowly pulls back and upward, Levi's figure gradually diminishes, finally blending into the vast ruined city, creating an image filled with intertwined despair and hope.
Effect 3: Rotation + Extreme Pull Back (Reverse is also amazing! )
Effect Description: The camera first rotates 360 degrees around the subject. After completing the subject showcase, it begins to pull back extremely far, placing the subject in an immensely grand or unexpected scene, creating a strong visual contrast and sense of destiny.
Prompt Formula: [Subject description, such as: an ancient compass spinning rapidly in their hand] 360-degree rotation, after completing the rotation begins to slowly pull back, gradually revealing the entire [grand/unusual scene description, such as: the compass is actually the core controlling a huge floating island, with rolling clouds and the faintly visible ground below] panorama.
Prompt Example: [A One Ring emitting faint golden light in the darkness, with burning Elvish script faintly visible] 360-degree rotation, after completing the rotation begins to slowly pull back, gradually revealing the entire [the ring is placed on the edge of a rugged black rock in Mount Doom, with rolling lava below and the smoke-covered lands of Mordor in the distance] panorama.
Final Result (Text to Video)
Inspired by "The Lord of the Rings. "The camera first focuses on an ordinary gold ring (the One Ring), perhaps lying quietly on a rough rock or in Frodo's hand. As the camera rotates 360 degrees around it, the Elvish script on the ring begins to emit a faint fiery red glow. After the rotation completes, the camera begins to slowly pull back and upward. The ring quickly shrinks in the frame, and we gradually see it is at the precarious edge of Mount Doom's crater, with rolling molten lava below and the vast, desolate lands of Mordor in the background. The sky is covered with black clouds, and in the distance stands the silhouette of Barad-dûr, creating a strong sense of destiny and oppression.
✨ Chapter Two: One Continuous Shot, Into the Microscopic—Exploring Fantastical Visual Transitions ✨
This type of camera movement focuses on extreme pushing into or pulling out from specific parts of the subject, achieving fantastical scene transitions or revealing stunning details.
Effect 4: Pushing Into the Mouth
Effect Description: The camera steadily and continuously pushes toward the subject's mouth, as if entering it, creating a unique visual immersion with a touch of the bizarre/whimsical. Suitable for depicting entry into another world or revealing a character's inner thoughts.
Prompt Formula: Smooth camera transition, pushing into [subject description]'s mouth, [optional: interior scene description or transition effect, such as: inside is a universe filled with stars/a magical forest full of candy].
Prompt Example: Smooth camera transition, pushing into [Totoro opening his huge mouth in a yawn], inside transforms into a peaceful forest composed of soft grass and towering trees.

The camera smoothly pushes forward, gradually filling the view with Totoro's fuzzy mouth cavity, ultimately transitioning seamlessly into a fantastical forest interior, where sunlight filters through leaves, creating dappled light patterns, filled with a fairy tale atmosphere.
Effect 5: Pushing Into the Pupil + Scene Transition
Effect Description: The camera steadily pushes into the subject's pupil. When the pupil fills the entire frame, it naturally transitions to an entirely new scene, achieving an imaginative scene change. Commonly used to represent memories, visions, or entry into a character's mental world.
Prompt Formula: Smooth transition, pushing into [subject description]'s pupil, second shot [detailed description of new scene, such as: revealing a buried war memory/a futuristic cityscape].

Final Result
Inspired by "Naruto. "The camera focuses on Sasuke Uchiha's face, his Sharingan slowly spinning. The camera gradually pushes toward his deep pupil, and when the frame is filled with the tomoe pattern in his eye, it smoothly transitions to a fragment of his memory, such as a warm scene of training with his brother Itachi, or the tragic night when his clan was destroyed, creating a powerful sense of temporal and spatial transition.
Effect 6: Approaching the Eye + Detail Close-up
Effect Description: The camera starts from a distance, slowly rises while simultaneously pushing forward, gradually approaching the subject's face, ultimately focusing on an extreme detail of the eye, such as a water droplet on eyelashes or a reflection in the eye, to amplify emotion or reveal key information.
Prompt Formula: Camera rises and approaches [subject description]'s face, finally extreme close-up on the eye [specific detail description, for example: a dinosaur head reflected in the pupil/a flash of determination in the eyes/a drop of sweat sliding from the furrowed brow to the corner of the eye].

Inspired by "Breaking Bad. "Inside the dim, shaky RV, Walter White wears his iconic yellow hazmat suit, his face showing only exhaustion from oxygen deprivation and extreme tension, his eyes mixing desperation with madness. The camera starts at ? height, slowly pushing upward and focusing on his face (perhaps only showing his eyes, the rest covered by the mask). As the camera gets extremely close to his eyes, we see a close-up where we can see his bloodshot eyeballs from working in dangerous chemical environments for extended periods, his pupils reflecting the beakers with reacting crystals emitting an eerie blue glow, a drop of sweat sliding from his furrowed brow to the corner of his eye, refracting the dangerous yet mesmerizing light of the chemical equipment. The entire scene is filled with suffocating tension and the character's inner struggle and darkening.
✨ Chapter Three: Unlimited Dynamics, Tracking and Following—Capturing Extreme Dynamic Moments ✨

The camera starts behind him, following him from multiple angles fluidly, sometimes showing his complex hand movements during spellcasting, sometimes showing the upside-down chaotic cityscape from his perspective, creating a strong sense of surrealism and magical wonder.
Effect 8: Aerial Dive + Close Approach
Effect Description: The camera starts from a high aerial view, showing a vast scene, then quickly dives like an eagle, approaching a specific target or subject on the ground, bringing a strong visual impact and sense of speed.
Prompt Formula: High aerial camera view, [description of magnificent scene seen from high altitude, such as: Gotham City's night sky and Gothic architecture], then rapidly diving close to [detailed description of ground target or subject, such as: Batman standing on a gargoyle statue atop the city's tallest building, cape fluttering in the wind].

Effect 11: Drone Camera Tracking
