Canton Tower FPV Drone · Racing Up the Tower Along a Red Arrow
The core technique here is 'image-to-video plus a path annotation': a red arrow is drawn on the reference image to mark the camera path, then the prompt opens with a dedicated line — 'please remove the red line and arrow' — telling the model to erase the annotation tool and keep only the resulting camera move. That's the standard move for working from an annotated reference image. The camera move itself is written in three beats: a low ground-level approach, a steep climb hugging the tower, and a turn into an aerial overview at the end — each beat paired with a concrete visual requirement (light/reflections, material detail, capturing people's expressions) instead of a vague 'epic aerial shot.' The closing line, 'one continuous take, with no additional cuts or splicing,' locks the narrative into a single long shot so the model can't break the rhythm with its own cuts.
