Camera Parameters

Detailed guide to camera control in HappyHorse 1.0. Previously, mimicking cinematic camera movements required either elaborate prompts or was simply impossible. Now, just upload a reference video to precisely replicate camera movements.

Current web app availability

happy-horse.ai currently exposes text-to-video and image-to-video. HappyHorse 1.0 is a paid upgrade with native 1080p HD, audio-visual sync, and advanced multimodal features.

Example Prompts

Multimodal Camera Replication: Elevator Horror Scene
Reference @Image1 for the man's appearance, he's in the elevator from @Image2. Fully reference @Video1 for all camera movements and the protagonist's facial expressions. Hitchcock zoom during the panic moment, then several orbital shots showing the elevator interior. Elevator doors open, tracking shot following him out. Environment outside references @Image3, the man looks around, reference @Video1's mechanical arm multi-angle tracking of the character's line of sight.
Multi-Scene Chase Camera Work
Reference @Image1 for the man's appearance, in the corridor from @Image2. Fully reference @Video1 for all camera movements and expressions. Camera follows protagonist running around corners, then in @Image3's long hallway, camera transitions from behind-tracking to low-angle orbiting to the front. Camera pans right 90° to shoot @Image4's intersection, hard stop then 180° pan for close-up of the protagonist's face: out of breath. Camera follows their POV looking around.
