Orbit / Arc

Still-image prompt

Initial-frame preparation only. A still image cannot demonstrate motion, editing or audible timing.

Create only the initial frame; motion is specified separately.
Scene: An ochre-coated botanist works with a young citrus tree, bamboo stake and tying ribbon inside a greenhouse of terracotta pots and repeated glass bays. Keep the plant and glazing structurally consistent.
Initial state: Camera 1.5 m high, 4 m from botanist, citrus tree beside them and doorway behind.
Still reference: Full-frame 36 mm wide reference, 16:9 framing; optics 35 mm prime; f/4; exposure 1/48 s; ISO 400; WB 5600 K
Lighting: Diffuse 5600 K daylight through the roof and use white cloth beneath the leaves for soft fill. Keep 5600 K white balance fixed; shade the brightest pane rather than darkening the face. Avoid green contamination on skin.
Color: Build a restrained leaf-green and terracotta palette with one ochre coat. Shadows lean forest green, midtones retain believable plant color, pale panes roll gently toward white. Preserve leaf sheen and dark soil texture.
Do not depict multiple future moments in this one frame. This still alone is not evidence that a dynamic technique succeeded.

Production prompt

Complete execution and assembly recipe. Independent sources below must be acquired separately where specified.

PRODUCTION RECIPE: Orbit / Arc / 360-Degree Shot
Output: 8 s. Workflow: single_take. Format: Full-frame 36 mm wide reference, 16:9 framing.
Core constraint: Move the viewpoint around a stationary subject; keep the selected radius approximately stable and aim inward. Use the declared sweep, direction and support, not a rotating subject or optical-axis roll.
Scene: An ochre-coated botanist works with a young citrus tree, bamboo stake and tying ribbon inside a greenhouse of terracotta pots and repeated glass bays. Keep the plant and glazing structurally consistent.
Initial state: Camera 1.5 m high, 4 m from botanist, citrus tree beside them and doorway behind.
Action / timeline: Complete one counterclockwise circle in eight seconds, always facing botanist. The botanist holds the tied tree steady without turning to follow camera. Pots and glass bays sweep through successive sides; retain clear clearance around the bench. Define counterclockwise as seen from above. The botanist and pot do not turn to face the moving camera; complete exactly one circuit, not a panoramic pan.
End state: The same doorway is behind the botanist again after the complete lap.
Camera design reference: Full-frame 36 mm wide reference, 16:9 framing; optics 35 mm prime; fixed focal length; f/4; exposure 1/48 s; ISO 400; WB 5600 K; capture 24 fps; playback 24 fps; focus: Maintain focus near 4 m on botanist.
Lighting: Diffuse 5600 K daylight through the roof and use white cloth beneath the leaves for soft fill. Keep 5600 K white balance fixed; shade the brightest pane rather than darkening the face. Avoid green contamination on skin.
Color: Build a restrained leaf-green and terracotta palette with one ochre coat. Shadows lean forest green, midtones retain believable plant color, pale panes roll gently toward white. Preserve leaf sheen and dark soil texture.
Assembly / finishing: No compositing or speed change. Keep the intended camera geometry in the rendered sequence; a still image alone cannot demonstrate the movement.
Avoid: Subject turntable replacing camera travel; Optical-axis roll replacing an orbit
Parameters are design references; generated output requires visual and, where applicable, audible verification.

Related families

• Pan

  Rotate horizontally from a fixed station and height with fixed focal length. Follow the declared angle and timing; do not translate toward the destination.

• Tilt

  Keep the station and camera height fixed; rotate only pitch with fixed focal length. Stage the intended start and end crops and follow focus only as required.

• Dolly Translation

  Translate the camera through the declared path at fixed focal length. Let foreground/background perspective change; focus may track distance, and only explicitly declared aiming compensation is allowed.

• Aerial Travel

  Use one coherent elevated route with persistent terrain landmarks and the specified height profile. Fixed focal length; do not replace flight with a flat map enlargement.

• Body-Supported Stabilizer

  Use a body-supported stabilizer reference to isolate footfall shocks while following one continuous route. If the route crosses a doorway, pass through its actual open space; on stairs, gain real height with the steps.

• Gimbal Travel

  Stabilize roll and unwanted angular shake while moving through the real route. Allow a small smooth height drift, not sharp footfall jolts or a frozen two-dimensional background.

• Truck / Lateral Parallax

  Translate laterally at fixed height, focal length and heading. Keep the scene stationary so near/far parallax and changing occlusion prove the move.
