Cinematic Hero for candles

Cinematic Hero is the highest-quality shot Spinsku makes: a slow dolly on a reflective surface with a moving light. It is part of the Pro plan.

FAQ

Why is Cinematic Hero only on Pro?

It runs on a slower, more expensive video model. Pro includes 3 Cinematic Hero clips a month.

How long is the clip?

8 seconds, vertical 9:16 at 1080 by 1920.

How is it different from Floating Hero?

Floating Hero is a clean catalog shot. Cinematic Hero adds a reflective floor, dramatic light and shallow focus, and takes longer to generate.

Should I light the candle for the photo?

Unlit is safer. A flame in the source photo tends to stay lit through effects where it should not, such as a squish or a slice.

Do tins and jars with lids work?

Yes. Leave the lid off or beside the candle in the photo so the clip shows the candle itself, not a closed tin.
