Starting inputs
Where to start in happyWan
Choose a starting point in happyWan based on the creative decision you have already made.
- 01
A scene in words
Write down who is there, where we see them, and the one thing that happens. Let the prompt establish both the picture and its movement.
- 02
A still image
Start from a product photo, drawing, or portrait. Use the image to set the look, then give happyWan directions for what moves within the frame.
- 03
Two keyframes
Choose a first and a last frame when the ending matters. Describe how the subject or camera could travel between those two views.
Shot guide
Follow a rider across three shots
A short sequence can show where a rider is headed, what they do, and how they feel when they arrive. In happyWan, give each shot a different job and carry a few recognizable details through all three.
- 01
Establish the route
Give happyWan a wide opening view of the street with the rider already facing the turn. Leave room ahead of the front wheel so the viewer can anticipate where the bicycle will go.
- 02
Travel alongside
A side-tracking shot keeps the rider in view while the shops slide past. Give happyWan the camera’s direction as well as the rider’s speed.
- 03
Cut to a detail
End with a hand squeezing the brake or a glance toward the destination. Keeping the jacket, bike color, and light consistent helps the cut read as the same trip.
Shot examples
One object, two kinds of movement
Before writing a prompt, decide what the viewer needs to notice. A product reveal and a demonstration call for different camera choices in happyWan.
1Let a highlight reveal the earcup
Begin with the full headphones in frame. Ask happyWan for a slow arc around one earcup as a soft reflection crosses its rim. End close enough to see the cushion texture. This gives an editor a clear point to cut to a product title.
2Keep the wheel in view
Frame the potter’s hands and the rim together. Hold the camera steady as the clay turns and the bowl opens. For a tutorial, this lets the viewer see how finger pressure changes the shape over time.
Workflow
Take a scene from brief to first cut
Use a short first take to test the most important decision before spending time on a full sequence.
- 01
Name the change
Give happyWan a visible event, such as a door swinging open to reveal a courtyard. Choose how much of the room the opening frame should show.
- 02
Choose the input
Select the mode for your prompt, image, or keyframes. Set the aspect ratio for the intended screen and check the credit cost shown for the task.
- 03
Watch the cut point
Play the take through. Find the instant when the action reads clearly and check whether the ending gives you room for a transition or caption.
- 04
Try a second direction
Keep the original material and revise one instruction in happyWan. Compare a fixed camera with a slow push to see which makes the action easier to follow.
Use cases
What does the shot need to do?
Use happyWan to plan footage around the moment your audience needs to see.
Explain a process
Separate preparation, the main action, and the result into distinct views. Use matching framing where viewers need to compare before and after.
Pitch a scene
Try the same character entrance in a wide shot and a close follow. Bring the two happyWan takes to a storyboard review so the team can discuss a concrete choice.
Build a social opening
Place the action where it reads on a phone. Keep the first gesture in the center and leave space above or below for your final captions.
Animate an illustrated character
In a motion-reference mode, pair a character image with your own performance clip. Use happyWan to explore how a quick wave or a slow bow reads in the drawing. Check the hands and the final pose.
Continue a scene
For a follow-on shot in happyWan, use the closing image of your first clip as the next opening. Match the light and direction of movement so the editor can cut during the action.
Working with references
Questions about creating with happyWan
01How do I choose images for a transition?
Look for a shared subject or a plausible camera path. To move from a whole object to a detail in happyWan, use the same object in both frames and describe how the camera approaches it.
02How do I plan sound for a happyWan clip?
Choose a video mode with audio, then describe what the viewer should hear. A wheel humming under a potter’s hands calls for a different sound from footsteps echoing in a hallway. Listen to the generated timing before choosing the take.
03How can I keep a subject recognizable across shots?
Use the same clear reference in a reference-guided mode. Repeat a few visible details like coat color and hairstyle, then describe what changes in each shot. Inspect those details at the cut.
04Can I use separate references for a scene?
In a mode with multiple reference inputs, give each one a specific job. A portrait can guide the subject, a street photo can set the location, and a video can demonstrate a camera move. Tell happyWan which detail to take from each.
05Where can I compare settings and costs?
