How the movement works

To focus attention on the subject, or to suggest an old lens.

  1. 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).
  2. 02Shape: an ellipse centred on the frame (vertical radius = horizontal × 208/539 × 1.35)
  3. 03Clear out to 45% of the 334 px horizontal radius, then rgb(32,35,43) rising from 0% to 70% towards the edge
  4. 04Timing: 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

Beach photo with a strong vignette: the corners darken gradually so the eye goes to the person in the middle.
