Specify which side the camera is on and that the distance stays constant. That one phrase is what turns a wandering camera into a tracking shot.
Tracking shot: the camera moves {{camera_position}} alongside {{subject}} as they {{action}}, keeping a constant distance and the subject in the {{frame_position}} of frame. Setting: {{setting}}, with background details passing by to show speed. Lens: 35mm, subject in focus, background with gentle motion blur. Lighting: {{lighting}}. Style: {{style}}. Duration {{duration}}, aspect ratio {{aspect_ratio}}. Avoid: text, captions, watermarks, logos, extra limbs or fingers, warped faces, flicker, sudden cuts, subject drifting out of frame, camera stopping or reversing.
Example input
Side tracking shot of a skateboarder rolling down a steep street at late-afternoon; 6s; 16:9.
Example output
Tracking shot: the camera moves sideways on the subject's left, at shoulder height, alongside a teenage skateboarder in a mustard hoodie as they roll down a sloping city street, keeping a constant distance and the subject in the left third of frame. Setting: a steep street of painted terraced houses and parked cars, with background details passing by to show speed. Lens: 35mm, subject in focus, background with gentle motion blur. Lighting: late afternoon sun, long shadows across the road. Style: warm, nostalgic, natural colour, light film grain. Duration 6 seconds, aspect ratio 16:9. Avoid: text, captions, watermarks, logos, extra limbs or fingers, warped faces, flicker, sudden cuts, subject drifting out of frame, camera stopping or reversing.
Troubleshooting
- The subject outruns the camera: add 'camera matches the subject's speed exactly'.
- Legs or wheels glitch: choose a framing that crops at the waist, or slow the action down.
Known limitations
- Fast full-body action (running, sports) is still prone to limb artefacts on most models.
