Watch: Macro turns a small insect into the star filling the frame: once focus snaps in, the spots on its shell and the detail on its legs appear, and everything out of focus is bokeh. Depth of field is just a few millimeters.A line-art demo that only illustrates the technique, not finished footage.

When to use it

Water drops, metal textures, fine hairs on skin, product selling points.

Prompt template

macro lens at minimum focus distance, extremely shallow depth of field, only a narrow band of texture in focus, rapid falloff.

The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Macro lens at minimum focus distance right up against the subject, very shallow depth of field, focus on a single line of texture. On a leaf in early morning, a seven-spot ladybird slowly crawls to the tip, opens its wing cases to reveal translucent wings, and takes off. Focus moves from the leaf veins to the ladybird's spots. 4 seconds, correct insect anatomy, no extra or missing legs.

Common pitfalls

Depth of field so shallow the whole subject blurs.
A messy background with specks that steal attention.

Parameter tips

Don't write too small an aperture; a dark background with a rim light is the most reliable.
