Video creators who want to try a small visual experiment.

Video generator required · review on a larger screen if needed

What you end up with

One short test to judge whether the illusion works before making a longer clip.

Before you start: Video generation may use paid credits. Set a small retry budget before starting.

Experimental creator technique, with an original test prompt. Not a reproduced result or a guaranteed effect.

Original frame-break test prompt

One short shot of a paper fox on a tabletop, framed by black letterbox bars above and below the picture. The fox slowly reaches one paw toward the viewer. At the closest point, the paw overlaps the lower black bar, as if it extends beyond the picture. Keep the camera still and the background simple. One action, no cuts, no text.

Watch out

The creator reports inconsistent bar sizes and distortion during camera movement. More rigid instructions can also spoil the effect. Treat this as a test, not a reliable production recipe.
