- Cost: ~120 credits / 10 s clip (estimate) — Kling v3 at 11.8 credits/s without audio (catalog of 2026-10-23); Seedance 2.5 at 720p runs 33–50 credits/s.
What it does
A single unbroken camera pull-back: from a subject (a sea turtle on a reef, a person on a rooftop) up through the city, the planet and out into space, sometimes reversing all the way home. Higgsfield shipped it as a one-click "Earth Zoom Out" effect in June 2025, and an October 2026 post of the format reached 3.7M views. An agent takes one photo or a text subject, prompts a first frame with Nano Banana 2.1, then generates the pull-back with a strong video model (Seedance 2.5, Kling v3 or Veo 3.1), stitching two clips at a hidden cut when one generation cannot cover the whole range of scale.
Status
A format people ask for that has no dedicated skill yet. Make it with the skills on the use-case pages below, or with varg directly.
Example: https://x.com/rand_shao/status/2113738231661609045
How an agent would make it: Subject photo or prompt → first frame (Nano Banana 2.1) → continuous pull-back prompt (subject → city → planet → space) on Seedance 2.5 / Kling v3 / Veo 3.1 → optional reverse or hidden-cut stitch
Models it drives: nano_banana_2_1, seedance_2_5, kling_v3, veo_3_1
