# Slow motion

Motion / Subject motion and speed / Speed. Checked 2026-10-13.

Stretches a moment so the viewer sees what the eye misses: water, hair, fabric, impact.

- Use when: Product splashes, a decisive moment, sport, beauty.
- Phrase: slow motion, the splash rendered at high frame rate and played back slowly, every droplet visible

## Watch out

- Ration it. Name the one or two moments in slow motion and keep the rest at normal speed, or it loses its weight. (vendor; Director Chair field notes on video prompting (Runway enhancer, tested prompts))
