Watch: To keep the person the same size on a wide lens, the camera has to move in close: the person stays the same, but the street behind is pushed away, smaller and more open. The space gets exaggerated.A line-art demo that only illustrates the technique, not finished footage.

Prompt templates are written from how generation models usually behave and have not yet been verified one by one with real generations. “Common pitfalls” are judgment from experience, not official limits.

When to use it

Cramped spaces, following someone into a room, when you need spatial pressure or a sense of speed.

Prompt template

wide-angle lens around 24mm, exaggerated depth between foreground and background, slight edge distortion, subject closer to lens reads larger.

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.

Wide-angle lens around 24mm, the depth between foreground and background exaggerated, slight distortion at the edges. In a cramped old elevator, a courier holding a stack of boxes is pressed close to the lens, and the doors behind him look far and small; he presses the floor button with his chin and mutters, “Top floor again.” 4 seconds; don't let him get so close to the edge of the lens that he badly distorts.

Common pitfalls

A face too close gets stretched into a barrel.
Buildings at the edges of a landscape bend, like a fisheye.

Parameter tips

Don't ask for telephoto compression at the same time; keep faces at least half a meter from the lens.
