Cinematic Camera Movement Terms for AI Video Prompting
Almost any guide to video prompting for Generative AI will tell you to describe camera motion using “cinematic prompts”. But what are these terms, and what do they mean? Here my ten top prompts: 1 Static Shot / Locked Off Shot / Immobilised shot Definition: The camera remains completely stationary (static), as if mounted on a tripod. The action unfolds within the frame, but the camera itself does not move.

The speed #GenAI is moving is crazy. These two avatars were created from a series of still images just 8 weeks apart. The difference is insane.
How I used this avatar: youtu.be/uaZrX9BFMNU?...

Come and see how you could generate better social content quicker with #GenAI.

I thought @bsky.app was a place for civilised debate 😱

This is a terrible attempt at an #AI avatar.
Come on my training course or follow me on @YouTube (@RoughCutMediaTraining) to avoid time consuming AI blunders. Links in comments.

Why am I celebrating?
* Is it because I just finished a brilliant #AI
I course with Robin Moore and Media Cymru?
* Is it because our new marketing campaign for our Videography for Marketing courses go live today?
* Or is it just nearly Friday?

Nice to see a local indy bookshop expanding rather than contracting. 📚👏

I've been blown away by the reception I have had for this course! Two days after the launch there are only three tickets left!
I'm now looking to schedule more and I'm hunting for venues in #Swansea and #Cardiff. Nice, low cost venues so I can keep costs down!

Vertical video training again today. But it seems @bsky.app turns it in into horizontal video. Hardly cutting edge!
February 21, 2025 at 12:57 PM
Another day of vertical video training using the spectacular settings of the BBC roof garden in #Cardiff. I'm working with a fabulous group of @newyddion.s4c.cymru digital journalists. Tomorrow, how to structure short video with students @cardiffuni.bsky.social

Great to meet 4Skills trainees at NFTSCymruWales today to teach them how to edit. It was a steep learning curve, but I was amazed at the quality of the videos they produced. 😁📽️ #cardiff #training #skills
