Animate a supplied image while preserving its main composition and subject.

How to get a strong result

1
Keep motion specific
Describe subject movement separately from the camera movement.
2
Use audio as direction
Name the sound sources and balance you expect in the finished clip.
3
Prototype before 1080p
Use 720p for iteration and move to 1080p after the direction is working.
