How the movement works
To follow a walking or running subject and keep the sense of movement while showing their action.
- 01Camera: moves right at a constant 1.7 m/s (x = -4.0 m → +4.0 m in 4.7 s); height 1.3 m, facing straight ahead; no easing
- 02Subject: a person walks at the same x as the camera (7.5 m away) and stays in the centre of frame; legs and arms swing by sin(u×7)×0.42 rad
- 03Parallax: posts every 1.6 m at 4 m depth sweep left fastest, then trees, then buildings (48 m away); mountains hardly move
- 04Top-right readout shows "→ 1.7m/s"
- 05Repeat: jumps back to the start every 4.7 s (posts and ground grid line up at the seam; background buildings and trees jump)
Prompt
Tracking shot from the side, moving along with the walking person at the same speed.
