Directed Motion Blur Prompt pack

About this prompt pack

This pack teaches you to direct motion blur by defining a sharp anchor, a path, and a blur-length rule before you name the camera trick. The 8 prompts move from a one-axis pan through rotational, radial, rear-curtain, stroboscopic, crossed-vector, and depth-layered setups, so you can transfer the method to product, beverage, and sports work.

What you'll learn

• Lock the hero — The first move is simple: freeze the thing people need to read, then send every other mark down one axis. The side profile makes even a small drift obvious.
• Move the material — Motion does not have to touch the product. The ribbon gets a path, a leading edge, and a soft tail while the bottle keeps its silhouette and finish.
• Build the arc — A pivot gives blur a measurable rule. The center stays still, the rim travels farthest, and the prompt makes that increase visible instead of asking for generic spin.
• Pull the frame — Zoom blur moves the frame, not the hero. A protected central 38% and one vanishing point stop the effect from eating the product.
• Mark the endpoint — Rear-curtain flash puts the sharp object at the end of its trail. That one timing choice tells you where the move finished without an arrow.
• Pulse the path — Nine evenly timed pulses turn distance into a clock. Changing the gaps shows acceleration, impact, and slowdown without adding labels.
• Cross two vectors — Two vectors can share a frame when they differ by direction, color, and material. The sharp glass is the boundary that keeps both moves readable.
• Stack the speeds — The final prompt stacks three speeds: a tracked rider, rotating wheels, and parallax that changes by depth. Each layer gets its own blur rule, so complexity still has an order.
