Summary

Pika v2.2 is a pretty weak model across the board, with no category scoring above average. Its main strength is prompt adherence, so it clearly understands direction and follows prompts well. Actor performances are just about acceptable. The notable feature is keyframe capabilities, which few models have. Otherwise it falls apart in most categories.

Examples

Macro shot: a tattoo artist's gloved hands at work, needle buzzing against skin, other hand stretching the canvas taut. Ink, blood, precision. Five fingers per hand, always.
Cinematic slow-motion of a boxer throwing a punch at a heavy bag. Muscles contract in shoulders and arms, sweat flies, face shows exertion.
A woman practices yoga at sunrise on a cliff overlooking the ocean, flowing from warrior pose into a deep lunge. Wind catches her hair.
A futuristic city skyline at sunset, cinematic drone shot
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 cinematic hummingbird hovering over vivid flowers at sunrise, 8s
close up of a man's face as he sits in a world war one trench, he is overwhelmed by emotion before breaking down into tears.
Tattoo needle writes CARPE DIEM across a woman's shoulder, her head turned in profile. The letters form one at a time, skin reddening realistically.
Blocks are removed one by one by two people, the tower wobbles, tilts and finally collapses, it falls. The removed blocks remain visible nearby.
