# Takeoff & roll AI Video

Use a closed test-pad scene to make lift, one airborne roll and touchdown easy to read. This result video includes a rotation; a pure-hover brief would describe a different effect.

## Result video

## Movement

The car lifts vertically from a floodlit test pad on downward vapor jets, completes exactly one controlled airborne roll, returns to a level attitude and lands on the original pad.

## Camera

One fixed wide side camera showing the entire car, its shadow and the unchanged floodlit test pad. Do not orbit the camera during the roll.

## Light

Night floodlights with a readable car silhouette and a visible ground shadow.

## Avoid

Extra rolls, a rotating camera, new wings, duplicate vehicles and vapor hiding the final wheel position.

## Photo angle

Clean side view with all visible wheels separated from the background. Keep the car large enough to compare its shape during the roll.

Suggested brief: one fixed wide side camera, portrait headroom and an unchanged ground plane. Preserve the light poles as stationary scale references.

## Shot sequence

1. Start with the complete car on a floodlit test pad.
2. Lift vertically on downward vapor jets, complete one controlled roll and return to a level attitude.
3. Lower the same car back to the original pad with the wheels readable through the vapor.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | Change to try |
| --- | --- |
| The car slides without leaving the pad | Specify a visible gap between the tires and their ground shadow before the roll begins. |
| The roll repeats or changes direction | Request exactly one roll with a defined return to level. Do not combine it with a camera orbit. |
| Smoke hides the landing | Keep vapor below the chassis and ask for a clear final frame with the wheels on the original surface. |
