Fisheye lens
Ultra-wide lens that bulges the centre and bends straight lines. The middle of the street scene bulges out; the vertical lines of the buildings and the lines of the road bow outward while the corners stay where they are.

How the movement works
For bold, playful or peephole-like views (skateboarding, music videos).
- 01Scene 2: a street corner; buildings, trees and street lamps (x 114, 292, 494) behind a road at y 132–162; the person stands front left (feet at x 176, y 200, 124 px tall).
- 02Warp: a point at distance d from the centre moves to g = (1 + k) / (1 + k·d²/R²) times that distance, R = distance from the centre to a corner (289 px)
- 03k: 0 → 1.25; the centre is magnified 2.25×, the corners do not move
- 04Every outline is cut every 6 px before warping, so straight lines become curves
- 05Top-right focal length 24mm → 8mm
- 06Timing: the effect comes in from 0.4 s to 1.4 s, holds until 4.0 s and is gone again by 4.8 s (one pass = 5 s, cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1)))
Prompt
City street through a fisheye lens, 180° view, the building edges bowing outward.
