Momentum: Capturing the middle of an action, not the peak

Do not stop at the peak or completion of an action.

The posed feeling comes from actions being fully completed and maximized: hands raised to the highest point, head turned all the way, smile fully spread. Instead, depict the middle moment when an action has just begun, is halfway through, or has just ended — hand halfway up, head halfway turned, skirt still falling, foot just lifted off the ground but not yet firmly planted.

The characteristic of a middle moment is residual kinetic energy: fabric and hair still lag a beat in the direction of movement, joints are at transitional angles rather than fixed positions, and the body has a slight sense of imbalance but is still under control.

A very slight motion blur can be retained, appearing only in the fastest moving parts, while the face remains clear.

Keep all other parts completely still.

Avoid: entire image blurry, motion blur appearing in stationary parts, action still frozen in a completed pose, fabric movement contradicting action.

不要停在動作的最高點或完成式。

擺拍感來自於動作都被做完、做滿:手舉到最高、頭轉到底、笑容展開到極限。改成動作剛開始、進行到一半或剛結束的中間瞬間 —— 手抬到一半、頭轉了一半、裙襬還在落下、腳步剛離地還沒踩實。

中間瞬間的特徵是有殘留的動能:布料與髮絲仍在移動方向上延遲一拍,關節處於過渡角度而不是定位角度,身體有輕微的失衡感但仍在控制中。

可以保留非常輕微的動態模糊,只出現在移動最快的部位,臉部仍然清晰。

其餘部分完全不動。

避免:整張圖都糊、動態模糊出現在靜止部位、動作仍然停在定格的完成式、布料飄動方向與動作矛盾。
