The 3-Step Workflow

Step 1: Generate Your Photos (3 Images Required)

You need three types of images for the complete effect.

Navigate to: Atlabs AI → Text to Image → Nano Banana Pro

A. The Main Falling Shot

This is your hero image, you falling through clouds with emotional expression.

Requirements:

• Upload a clear selfie photo (front-facing, good lighting)

• High resolution (1000x1000px minimum)

Copy This Prompt:

A cinematic surreal ultra-realistic vertical close-up portrait of a young man falling down from the sky, captured in the exact same stylish falling pose and body posture as the reference image. The subject is falling naturally through the clouds with realistic gravity - his body floating diagonally in mid-air, one leg bent upward, one leg extended forward, arms relaxed and slightly spread, creating a smooth cinematic slow-motion falling style. The camera is extremely close to his face, filling almost the entire frame with a sharp, expressive, emotional face. His expression shows deep emotions of love, surrender, destiny, heartbreak and hope mixed together. He is wearing a stylish black formal suit, crisp white shirt, black tie, premium sneakers and a thick gold bracelet on his wrist. He has short, clean, well-groomed hairstyle, naturally styled backward, neat and sharp, with no hair covering his forehead or face. His hair and clothes are moving slightly due to air.

Customize:

• Change "young man" to "young woman" or your description

• Modify outfit: "black formal suit" → your preferred clothing

• Adjust accessories: "gold bracelet" → "silver watch" or "diamond necklace"

• Hair description: Match your actual hairstyle

Settings:

• Aspect Ratio: 9:16 (vertical for Instagram/TikTok)

• Batch Size: 4

Generate and save the best result.

B. The Wide Angle Shot

This shows you small in the vast sky—creates dramatic scale.

Upload: The Main Falling Shot you just created

Copy This Prompt:

This same photo needs to be shown in a very wide angle, so it will remain very small above the sky. There's no need for an airplane there.

What this does:

• Zooms out to show full sky

• Makes you appear tiny against clouds

• Sets up dramatic zoom-in effect

Generate and save.

C. The Close-Up Details (Watch/Shoes/Jewelry)

This is the luxury detail shot that makes the trend pop.

Upload: The Main Falling Shot again

For Bracelet/Jewelry:

I need a close-up shot of this photo right now. The hand bracelet. A close-up shot. It's sparkling.

For Watch:

I need a close-up shot of this photo right now. The watch on the wrist. A close-up shot. It's sparkling with reflections.

For Shoes/Sneakers:

I need a close-up shot of this photo right now. The shoes. A close-up shot. Premium quality, detailed texture.

Pro Tip: Generate close-ups of 2-3 different details (watch + shoes + jewelry) for more dynamic editing options.

Step 2: Animate the Videos

Now turn static images into cinematic slow-motion clips.

Navigate to: Atlabs AI → Image to Video → Veo3.1

A. Create the Main Falling Clip

This is your primary falling-through-clouds sequence.

Select: Frames to Video (not Image to Video)

Upload Two Photos (in this order):

1. First: Wide Angle Shot

2. Second: Main Falling Shot

Why this order? Creates natural zoom from wide to close-up.

Copy This Video Prompt:

Cinematic wide-angle aerial shot of a young man falling upward through the sky in slow motion. Camera is positioned high above, looking down as he floats and spins gently in the air. His black formal suit, white shirt, black tie and cap are flowing in the wind. A blazing fire aeroplane flies below him leaving a trail of flames and smoke. Golden sunset clouds in the background. Dreamy, emotional, surreal mood. Ultra cinematic lighting, volumetric clouds, motion blur, 4K, epic movie scene.

Customize:

• Adjust clothing description to match your outfit

• Change "aeroplane" to "helicopter" or "hot air balloon" or remove entirely

• Modify sky: "Golden sunset" → "Blue sky" or "Dramatic storm clouds"

Settings:

• Duration: 4 seconds

Generate and download "Original Size" video.

For Watch Close-Up:

Extreme close-up cinematic shot of a wrist wearing a luxury watch floating in the sky in slow motion. Watch face clearly visible with light reflections. Fingers moving slightly in the wind. Golden sunset clouds in the background. Dreamy mood, shallow depth of field, 4k, luxury commercial style.

For Shoes Close-Up:

Extreme close-up cinematic shot of premium sneakers floating in the sky in slow motion. Shoe details clearly visible with light hitting the material. Golden sunset clouds in the background. Dreamy mood, cinematic depth of field, 4k, fashion film style.

Settings:

Syncing to Music

The viral secret: Match cuts to beat drops

How to sync:

1. Import trending audio from Instagram/TikTok

2. Place beat markers on timeline

3. Align each clip transition to beat

Recommended Audio Types:

Optional Enhancements

Transitions:

Export and post!

Pro Tips for Maximum Virality

Tip 1: Emotional Expression Matters

Your facial expression makes or breaks the trend.

Best expressions:

• Contemplative, looking into distance

• Slight smile with dreamy eyes

• Intense, focused determination

• Vulnerable, emotional

Avoid:

• Stiff, awkward poses

• Forced smiles

• Looking directly at camera (breaks immersion)

Tip 2: Outfit Choice

High-performing outfits:

• Black formal suit (classic, elegant)

• All-white outfit (angelic, clean)

• Street style (hoodie + designer sneakers)

• Athletic wear (Nike, Adidas, luxury sportswear)

Accessories that pop:

• Gold/silver watches

• Chain necklaces

• Designer sneakers

• Sunglasses (optional for variation)

Tip 3: Multiple Variations

Create 3-4 different versions with:

• Different outfits

• Different sky colors (sunset, blue sky, storm)

• Different close-ups (watch, shoes, ring)

• Different audio tracks

Post one per day for sustained engagement.

Tip 4: Hashtag Strategy

Essential hashtags:
#SkyfallTrend #AIVideo #CinematicVideo #AIEdit #ViralTrend #ReelsVideo #TikTokTrend #AIArt #SkyAesthetic

Platform-specific:

• Instagram: Add #Reels #InstagramReels

• TikTok: Add #FYP #ForYou #Viral

Optimal count: 10-15 hashtags

Tip 5: Hook in First 2 Seconds

Opening frame matters:

✓ Start with wide sky shot (builds anticipation)
✓ Or start with dramatic close-up (immediate impact)
✗ Don't start with black screen or slow fade

Caption hook:
"POV: You're falling but it's cinematic 🎬"

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Low-quality selfie → ✅ Clear, well-lit face photo
❌ Wrong aspect ratio → ✅ Always use 9:16 vertical
❌ Too many effects → ✅ Keep it simple and cinematic
❌ Ignoring music sync → ✅ Match cuts to beat
❌ Static close-ups → ✅ Ensure all clips have slow motion

Troubleshooting

Problem: Face doesn't look like me
Solution: Use clearer reference photo, specify "preserve exact facial features from reference image"

Problem: Clothes look unrealistic
Solution: Be very specific in prompt about fabric type, fit, wrinkles

Problem: Sky looks fake
Solution: Add to prompt: "Ultra-realistic volumetric clouds, natural lighting, atmospheric perspective"

Problem: Movement too fast
Solution: Emphasize "extreme slow motion, 10% speed" in video prompts

Variations to Try

Skyfall with Wings

Add to main prompt: "...with large angel wings spread behind him, feathers flowing in wind..."

Skyfall in Space

Change environment: "...falling through cosmos with stars and galaxies, nebula clouds..."

Skyfall with Fire

Dramatic effect: "...surrounded by flowing flames and embers, phoenix rising aesthetic..."

Skyfall in Rain

Moody vibe: "...falling through heavy rain, water droplets floating around, stormy clouds..."
