Cyclope
Original prompt
Cyclope A cyclope camera is one giant iris looking: fisheye as a monster eye, a single hole, too close. The lens is the creature. Volume Create this Cyclope Narrative function A machine stares. A lighthouse stares. A god stares. Distortion is the character. The subject looms, edges fall away, a catchlight keeps the hole an organ. It is the wrong tool for a beauty close-up, and for a human point of view with hands in frame. If you only want extreme wide geometry, use a fisheye as a lens. If a body owns the camera, that is first-person. How it works Write an extreme fisheye or a circular iris mask. Place the subject near the glass so the nose or the machine fills the hole. Edges barrel. Keep one catchlight. Do not add a Dutch unless the creature is off its axis. The camera is the eye. Height is the creature's height, often slightly high or dead-on. Prompt a cyclope view: a single giant iris, fisheye as a monster eye, one hole looking. When to use it Use it for surveillance, monsters, HAL-like machines, a stare that is not human.
