Grok vs Runway Gen-4.5

Close-up: a match strikes, flares to life, lights a candle. The match head, the flame birth, the wick catching. Material accuracy across wood, phosphorus, wax, fire.

Inside an opulent royal greenhouse filled with orchids, a blue ceramic watering can sits in the foreground on the left, and a terracotta pot with a single red tulip sits in the foreground on the right. A shallow reflecting pond runs through the middle and must show clear reflections. At second 2, a hummingbird enters from the top center and hovers directly above the tulip for exactly three seconds, then exits upward at second 5. The watering can and pot must remain fixed.

Inside a gilded palace ballroom with tall mirrors and a marble floor, a gold crown sits on a red velvet cushion on a small round table in the foreground. A silver candlestick stands exactly to the right of the cushion. In the background, a crystal chandelier hangs centered above the room. At second 2 the chandelier sways gently left-to-right for exactly three seconds; at second 6 a gloved hand enters from the left and extinguishes only the rightmost candle on the candlestick. The crown and cushion must never move.”

Single continuous shot in a sci-fi hangar with glossy floors and strong backlight haze. Keep a parked spaceship on the left, a glowing door panel on the right wall, and a metal crate centered in the foreground. A female lead runs from the background toward the crate and pivots around it without touching it. A small drone swoops in from the right and scans her with a sweeping light beam as it passes overhead. She slides behind the crate for cover, then pops out and slaps the glowing door panel once. The door panel flashes brighter and she holds in a ready stance facing it. The crate must never move and the spaceship must remain stationary. No cuts.

POV from inside a car trunk looking up at three figures who've just opened it. Wide lens, dramatic lighting from below, the perspective is specific and iconic.

One-take chase: camera leads a woman sprinting through a crowded market, she's looking back in fear, we never see what's chasing her. Handheld urgency, motivated motion, ducking under obstacles.

Action-adventure CG: a fierce Viking warrior rides a dragon through a narrow sea stack canyon at high speed. Braided beard and fur cloak whipping in the wind, dragon wings tucking and flaring. Dynamic camera, motion blur, cinematic framing.

Animated CGI kid's cartoon style: a playful squirrel leaps between tree branches in a colorful forest, but every other frame is held like a storybook illustration. Bright colors, exaggerated expressions, motion lines, intentionally bouncy yet fluid animation.

A punk rock drummer absolutely destroys a kit, sticks blurring, head thrashing. Freeze for a moment on her mid-scream face, then resume chaos.

Cinematic slow-motion of a boxer throwing a punch at a heavy bag. Muscles contract in shoulders and arms, sweat flies, face shows exertion.

Close up of a wrinkled elderly woman's weathered hands carefully folding an origami crane. Paper creases with each deliberate fold, fingers moving with practiced precision. Soft warm lighting, intimate macro detail.

A wet dog shakes itself dry in glorious slow motion. Water droplets spiral off. Fur contorts into absurd shapes. Joy radiates from its face.

Slow motion hummingbird: wings frozen mid-beat, iridescent throat catching light, tongue extending into a flower.

Pod of orcas hunting in coordinated precision. Underwater ballet—sleek bodies, powerful flukes before they rise to the surface and leap into the air before splashing back down.

Single continuous shot in a dark planetarium exhibit. A mechanical orrery rotates smoothly: small planets circle a glowing central sun in repeating loops. The camera makes a slow arc around the orrery while the planets continue their motion.”

Single continuous macro shot inside a watchmaker’s workshop. Extreme close-up of tweezers placing a tiny brass gear into a mechanical watch movement. The engraved markings on the gear remain crisp and identical frame-to-frame. The tweezers and gear never warp or change shape, and the camera motion is a smooth, slow push-in with no jitter. The gear teeth must not shimmer or crawl as it settles into place.

A pianist's hands playing Chopin—arched wrists, curved fingers, striking keys with controlled force. We see both hands in frame, moving independently.
