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.

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.

An epic done shot of a man riding a galloping horse across a vast barren landscape shot on a 35mm film camera. The camera follows him as he walks, the landscape is vast and the rider is small.

Hand-drawn puppy 2D cel-shaded animation style: a golden retriever pup with floppy ears chases a butterfly through a meadow, trips over its own paws, rolls, and bounds up joyfully. Watercolor backgrounds, expressive line work, heartwarming motion.

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.

A woman practices yoga at sunrise on a cliff overlooking the ocean, flowing from warrior pose into a deep lunge. Wind catches her hair.

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.

Product hero shot: a luxury watch rotates on a pedestal, catching light on every surface. Crystal, brushed steel, leather strap. The branding is legible. Zero geometry drift through the full rotation.

Single continuous shot at a bright outdoor skatepark. A female skater in a red beanie and black hoodie rolls toward camera on a skateboard with a bold checkerboard deck graphic. The camera tracks alongside her smoothly. She performs one clean kickflip and lands it, continuing forward. The beanie, hoodie, and checkerboard graphic remain stable without flicker, and the board does not morph mid-air.”
