How to Recreate This Video, Step by Step

  1. Pick a still image — painting, drone still, or AI frame.
  2. Open it in your Photos app.
  3. Draw a direction line with an arrow. Start = Point 1, end = Point 2.
  4. Go to Higgsfield and start a new video.
  5. Upload the image, set model to Seedance, flip on Unlimited.
  6. Type your direction prompt:
At point 1 fly low angle toward the subject, then orbit around it, ending off at point 2.
  1. Keep it simple — one clear sentence.
  2. Hit generate. If motion's off, tighten the wording near the transition instead of redrawing the line.
  3. Repeat with real drone footage — same steps, swap the still image.

The Point 1 to Point 2 Method

At point 1 push in low over the water toward the lighthouse, then circle the tower once, ending off at point 2.

Keep it literal. Start action, middle action, end action — nothing more.

Why This Works So Well

Most video models guess at camera movement from vague language. Seedance reads a literal spatial path you drew, removing the ambiguity.

This is also why it holds up on surreal or fantastical shots. Unusual moves — flying low toward a giant statue's face, orbiting a spear-wielding figure — have no stock footage reference for a text-only model to lean on. A drawn path gives it a literal target regardless of how strange the scene is.

It Works on Real Drone Footage Too

Take an actual drone shot, draw your line and arrows the same way, mark Point 1 and Point 2, upload it. Same process, same prompt structure.

The Takeaway

Draw the path, describe the action at each point, keep the language simple. Start with a single two-point move before layering in orbits or object morphing.
