Aerial establishing reveal
A rising drone shot that starts on a detail and pulls out to a landscape — the standard opening of a travel or property film.
The prompt
Aerial shot beginning close on a lone cyclist on a coastal road at sunrise, then rising and pulling back to reveal a long headland, sea mist in the bays and the sun breaking over the ridge behind. Continuous smooth ascent, no cuts. Golden low sun, long shadows, natural colour. Wind and distant surf, no music.

Open in studioWhy it is written this way
- Start on a subject, not on the landscape. A reveal needs something to reveal away from.
- Say "continuous smooth ascent". Aerial prompts without it tend to produce a series of drone-looking segments.
- 4K matters more here than on close shots — landscape detail is the point, and it is where the resolution is visible.

Questions
- What settings does the "Aerial establishing reveal" prompt need?
- Seedance 2.5 at 4k, 15 seconds, 21:9. That combination costs 8,483 credits — about $84.83 — and the studio shows the figure again before you commit.
- Can I change the prompt?
- Yes — it is a starting point, not a recipe. Change the subject and keep the structure: shot type, camera move, lighting, lens, then audio. That order is what these models read most reliably.
More cinematic prompts
- Thirty-second single take with scene changes — One continuous 30-second shot that moves through three distinct environments without a cut — the thing that needs a single-pass model rather than stitched clips.
- Holding a character across a move — A test built to expose identity and wardrobe drift — run this before committing to a long generation with a person in it.
