Free short AI video prompt
A starter line you can copy. The full timed recipe, still-image and production prompts are on the shot card.
Prompt rule: Use the declared virtual vertical acceleration curve. Keep the downward axis and ground geometry stable; end while still descending above ground, with no unexplained hover.
Falling: A falling-camera view accelerates downward as a gravity-led viewpoint rather than descending at a chosen constant crane speed. Keep the subject readable; motivate camera and light.
Technique guide
- When to use
- Create a feeling of weightlessness or tension nearing the ground.
- How it works
- First, calculate the starting height, duration, and ending height to ensure there is no unintended ground penetration. Descend along a continuous acceleration curve and compare the per-second growth rate of objects.
- Common mistakes
- Constant speed ascent and descent pretending to be free fall Ending with an inexplicable floating stop or crashing through the ground
How to read this page
Falling Camera Shot is one technique in Camera Movement. The definition states the single mechanism the frame has to show. The technique guide covers when to use it, the steps, the usual mistakes, how it differs from the neighbors, and what a successful take looks like.
The clip above is one reading, made with a third-party video model. Another model, or the same model on another day, can land on a different frame. It is an example, not a promise that a prompt will match it.
The free short prompt is a starter sentence. The shot card is the timed recipe: scene, start and end frames, action, light, and color. Three sample cards are free on the site. The rest are part of GrokCine Pro. A second name for the same shot keeps its own URL and points back at this definition.
When you write a prompt, keep the one mechanism in the definition, then name the subject, the motion, and why the light is there. Do not stack a neighboring technique into the same sentence. If the name or the example is wrong, send this page's URL from the contact page.
Prompt versions
Same technique, different prompts. Version A is the latest prompt; older versions are the exact prompts that kept clips were made from. Each version shows every model that used it.
