Overhead Top-Down

Physical MovesArcs, orbits, rolls and full-body camera motion.

The camera is positioned directly above the subject, looking straight down, and moves slowly across the scene from this bird's-eye vantage. Flattens depth entirely — subjects read as shapes and patterns from directly overhead. Smooth, even movement, no tilt.

When to use it: Graphic, pattern-forward compositions — choreography, food, crowds, or any scene where symmetry and layout matter more than depth.

Prompt

Camera: static top-down overhead angle, directly above subject looking straight down, slow even lateral movement across the scene, no tilt, no zoom.
