Orbit (Arc shot)
Circle around the subject. The camera travels on a circle around the subject; the person stays centred while the trees and buildings behind sweep sideways.

How the movement works
To show a person or product in three dimensions, or to emphasise an entrance or a key moment.
- 01Camera: travels on a circle of radius 6 m centred on the person (9 m ahead), from -0.95 rad → +0.95 rad (-54° → +54°, about 109° in total)
- 02Direction: always faces the centre (yaw = -angle); height 1.7 m, pitch fixed at -0.07 rad (about 4° down)
- 03Timing: 0.5 s to 3.6 s (3.1 s), cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1))
- 04Subject: the person does not move; a white dot on the face shifts sideways with the angle; a dashed circle of radius 1.3 m marks the ground
- 05Background: 12 trees evenly spaced on a 10 m radius cross behind the person as the camera moves round
- 06Return: hold 3.6–4.2 s, then cross-fade back over the last 0.5 s; top-right readout shows the angle (-54° → +54°)
Prompt
Half orbit around the standing person, keeping them in the center of the frame.
