Why this prompt works

Aerial shots need altitude and movement direction to generate correctly — without both, AI produces a stationary overhead image rather than the sweeping pull-back reveal that makes aerial footage feel cinematic.

Tips for best results

  • 'Reveal shot' is the most versatile aerial format: camera starts facing ground/forward, slowly tilts up to reveal the full landscape
  • For brand or real estate videos: specify the exact building or landscape feature you want to reveal as the camera pulls back
  • Add 'lens flare as camera crosses the sun line' for a premium documentary travel feel
  • Combine with a ground-level establishing shot (vid1) to create a classic two-shot sequence used in every nature documentary
