The prompt ignores any directions regarding camera movement

Directions regarding the required camera movement are all ignored.

The prompt:
the camera looking forward, but moving vertically down, and looking around

simply results in a movement tracking forward.

Just wasted 2000 credits...

I can’t get this to work correctly either.

Hey @Ben+Liebrand

Jus to add to what @Trevor.Dennis has mentioned.

A prompt suggestion I used for the attached video
use reference image, camera focuses on the sunglasses and pans down to the boots

The more specific I can be the better the results I get. When I watch a TV program or movie, I quickly realized most scenes are only between 3 to 6 seconds long. Each scene has a specific story that is being told.

Cheers

I might have tried:

The camera’s lens axis remains parallel to the ground as it pans slowly downward. The camera remains at the same distance to the ‘subject’ as it pans down towards the floor. The camera does not pivot or swing as it moves.

I might have tried using first and past frame, but that would be risky as you would have to fake the background perspective, and the AI would probably do a better job.

So, first frame (green rectangle)

Last frame (red rectangle)

That sort of thing. Use redundant instructions — tell it to do the same thing in two or three different ways. Tell it what not to do. Test with low res (540P) and short duration. I usually create at 720P and upres with Topaz Video.
