Before you start
Tool: Google Flow — labs.google/flow
Cost: Free tier gives 50 credits a day, roughly 2–3 clips.
Your photo: one exterior shot. No people in frame. Shoot or pick the angle that shows the most of the building — the more the photo contains, the less the AI has to invent.
Settings: duration 8 seconds · resolution as you need it — landscape and portrait both work.
The prompt
Cinematic FPV drone shot of the uploaded building. Camera starts near ground level and rises smoothly while arcing to the right, rotating no more than 45 degrees from the starting angle. Golden hour light.
Do NOT add structures, buildings, landscaping, vehicles or people. Do NOT alter the building's shape, height, floor count or colour. Keep the background and surroundings as they appear in the photo.
Photorealistic. Slow, smooth, continuous motion.
To arc left instead: change "arcing to the right" → "arcing to the left." Pick whichever direction has more building in the photo.**
