What this effect sends
This is the full prompt, word for word. Copy it, or open it in the generator and change anything you like.
Within the first second a lace curtain sways across a sunny window just outside the frame, and its intricate floral shadow pattern sweeps over the person's face, hair and the background behind them. Only the shadow is seen; the curtain itself never enters the frame. The pattern keeps drifting and rippling as the fabric moves. By the third second they turn their face into the light, eyes half closed, the lace shadows lying sharp across the cheek, then look into the lens and hold. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.Pictures that work best
- Start from an evenly lit indoor portrait without patterned shadows.
- A light wall behind the person shows the lace design clearly.
- Face the window direction in the source photo so the light feels natural.
- Close framing gives the delicate pattern more room across the cheek.

How it works
- 01
Add one photo
Choose the photo to match the example: include both people for a shared gesture, and keep the face and any hands involved clearly visible. Upload your own photo or start with a Lace Shadows sample.
- 02
Check the price
Lace Shadows defaults to a 5-second clip for $0.185. Swap the model or change the length and resolution before you run — the price on the button updates to match, and that's the whole cost of the clip.
- 03
Generate
Your Lace Shadows clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.
Do the move yourself
Lace Shadows keeps one version of this shot. To give Lace Shadows your own motion or ending, write it yourself in Image to Video, starting from the prompt above.
What it does to your photo
Lace Shadows is about light, not fabric. Within the first second a lace curtain sways across a sunny window just outside the frame, and its intricate floral shadow pattern sweeps over the person's face, hair and the wall behind them. Only the shadow is seen; the curtain itself never enters the frame. The pattern keeps drifting and rippling as the fabric moves. By the third second the person turns their face into the light, eyes half closed, the lace shadows lying sharp across the cheek, then looks into the lens and holds.
In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a grey-haired South Asian man in his forties in an off-white linen band-collar shirt, sitting by a sunny window, had a white lace curtain drift in from the right within the first second and sweep across half his face by second two; he turned into the light with eyes closed as floral lace shadows spread over his shirt, and ended looking back at the lens with the lace pattern still across his shirt. In a second run, a young woman with long straight black hair in a white satin high-neck blouse was brushed by a swaying lace curtain within the first two seconds, and by second three its intricate floral shadow lay sharp across her face and hair as she turned into the light with eyes closed, then opened them to hold a look into the lens.
Indoor portraits near a window or against a pale wall suit it best, because the shadows need a clean surface to land on. Photos that already have strong patterned light or a visible curtain compete with the effect. Close, chest-up framing shows the pattern on the face. The effect leaves the person exactly as they are in your photo and only adds the motion, light and atmosphere.
It runs on MiniMax H3 for five seconds by default, and H3 itself goes up to 15 seconds and 2K if you want more. Studio also lets you move the same prompt to another model before you generate, such as Seedance 2.0 or Wan 3.0, and the price on the Generate button updates with every change. Our samples were all made on MiniMax H3, so other models will read the prompt in their own way.
Works for soft, romantic portraits, wedding style clips and quiet mood pieces.
The prompt says "Only the shadow is seen; the curtain itself never enters the frame" and "turn their face into the light, eyes half closed". Try swapping lace for leafy window shadows, or have them keep their eyes open throughout.
