Common camera framing

OverheadSide profileWide / full body

Description: The two bodies lie across each other rather than along each other, meeting at the hips at roughly a right angle with the legs crossed between. Seen from above the pair form an X, which is the whole reason for the name.

Variations: The crossing angle can open toward parallel or close toward perpendicular, and either partner can be the one lying flat.

On camera: The only position in this family that genuinely needs an overhead shot. In profile the crossing disappears entirely and it looks like a side-lying position.

AI design considerations: Two figures whose long axes cross near the pelvis at a wide angle. The crossing angle must be clearly non-zero, since near-parallel figures collapse the shape.

Generating this position

A starting prompt composed from the catalog vocabulary. Every tag is verified to exist and not be deprecated. Compose across wardrobe, scene and expression in the prompt builder.

Image to video (Grind (rocking))

pelvis rocks forward and back through a short arc, contact never breaking, camera is locked on a tripod and does not move.

Motion only. The still you condition on must already carry the position, wardrobe and scene: restating them causes drift.

Expected figure count: 2. Global pose conditioning does not make a diffusion model count bodies. Count figures and limbs at full size before judging quality, because thumbnails hide the failure.

Identifiers in other vocabularies

How this position is denoted elsewhere, and what each mapping discards. Full table in the crosswalk.

  • no identifier existsnone

    Relation is none, so there is no mapping and therefore nothing for a loss statement to measure. The blank is deliberate rather than an omission: no live tag denotes two bodies crossed at the hips in an X, and the support tags rebuild the supine and side-lying pair and the interleaved legs but not the crossing angle that names the entry.

Actions this position admits

The position fixes who is where. These are the beats that are physically possible in it, from the action catalog. Contact through the characteristic beat is maintained.
