Tiny Planet AI Video Effect

The camera tilts straight up into the sky while the ground under your subject starts to bend. Whatever surrounds them, whether pavement, buildings or trees, curls inward and wraps into a small sphere. By the final frame the whole planet floats in the frame with the person standing on its top, waving at the lens. The curved horizon does the work: everything becomes one compact object, so the ending reads like a miniature world.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a red-haired woman in a yellow raincoat on a wet city plaza watched the ground curl into a tiny globe by second two and a half, and ended standing on top of a small Earth floating in starry space, waving at the lens. In a second run, a white-haired, white-bearded man in a royal blue linen suit in a sunny arcaded courtyard grinned as the ground bent away beneath him by second two, and from second three he stood on top of a small Earth floating in front of the Milky Way, waving at the lens. In a third run, a woman with a blunt-fringed bob in a hot pink tracksuit on a plaza between glass office towers at dusk watched the towers bend into a fisheye curve by second two, and from second three stood on top of a small Earth floating in space, waving at the lens.

Full-body or three-quarter shots of a person standing on open ground work best, for example a photo taken in a field, on a street or on a rooftop. Scenery with some shapes in it gives the model something to wrap around the sphere. Tight close-ups and waist-up crops leave the planet nothing to stand on, and a flat studio wall has no scenery to bend. The effect leaves the person exactly as they are in your photo and only adds the camera move.

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.

Good for reel openers, travel-style covers and playful profile loops. It also makes a strong last clip in a montage because the ending is such a clear shape.

Change "tiny round planet" to "tiny round planet covered in snow" to restyle the world, or change "waving at the lens" to "holding both arms up" for a different closing gesture.
