Water Reflection Cinemagraph
Create a seamless cinemagraph where only water and reflected light move.
Prompt
Convert the uploaded waterfront photograph into a six-second seamless cinemagraph. Preserve the buildings, boats, shoreline, sky, composition, and camera position as perfectly still elements. Animate only small water ripples, soft reflected-light distortion, and one gentle wave against the edge. Use physically coherent ripple direction and restrained amplitude. Match the beginning and ending water state for a smooth loop. Keep reflections aligned with their sources and avoid moving architecture, drifting objects, camera shake, changing weather, or new elements.
How to use it
- Upload an image with a clear water surface and stable surrounding structures.
- Mask motion conceptually to the water and its reflections only.
- Use a short loop with low ripple amplitude for seamless playback.
Common failure fixes
- If buildings move, specify a locked mask with water-only animation.
- If reflections disconnect, require alignment with fixed light sources.
- If the loop jumps, request matching first and final ripple patterns.
