CURRENT HYPOTHESIS

A camera that was never there

Cameras are bound by where they can physically be. Generative transitions introduce a strange new possibility: a temporary camera that never existed, moving between two real viewpoints.

What this is

An idea borrowed from Formula 1 broadcasts, where a wide drone shot appears to fly seamlessly into an in-car or first-person camera. The workflow: use the final frame of one clip and the opening frame of another as constraints for a short generated transition, then see whether the result reads as spatial storytelling rather than a visual gimmick.

What's being tried

  • VR180 and dual-fisheye capture for the immersive half of the transition.
  • AI frame interpolation and image-to-video generation for the connecting motion.
  • Linking drone footage with body- or vehicle-mounted cameras.

Status

Paused, honestly — this needs real example footage before there's much to show. It's on the list for whenever there's a place worth shooting it in.
