Fly to the sun effect

A widescreen rise where the plain flattens, the cloud passes, and the sun takes the frame. a wide shot climbing from just above a dry desert plain, the dunes flattening into ridges and then into a pale sheet as the altitude builds, a thin cloud layer sliding through frame and away below, the sky above losing its blue from the top downward until it is black with stars, the curved edge of the horizon bending across the bottom of frame, the sun ahead growing until its white disc fills the width of the shot, one unbroken rise

A wide ascent from water level where the light hardens as the atmosphere thins. a wide shot rising from just above the water of a small harbour at dawn, the moored boats shrinking to flecks and the breakwater to a pencil line, the soft dawn haze falling away beneath so the light on frame hardens and the shadows go sharp, the sky above darkening from pale gold to blue to black, the sun climbing in frame and swelling until it burns out the whole width, one continuous move with no cut

A standing figure rises out of frame and the camera holds with them all the way up. a figure standing on a bare hilltop who begins to rise straight upward, the camera holding with them at the same distance as the hill falls away and becomes a fold in the ground, the two passing through a cloud layer together and coming out above it, the figure silhouetted as the sky behind them turns black and the stars appear, the sun growing ahead of them until it fills the frame, no cut in the ascent

A rise from a field that never cuts, each layer of sky passing in order. a climb beginning at knee height in a wheat field, the stalks blurring downward as the rise starts, the field becoming a patch then a texture then a smudge, a full cloud layer passing through frame, the air above it thinning so the blue pales at the top of frame and goes black, the curve of the horizon appearing at the bottom edge, then the sun ahead growing to fill everything, no cut at any point in the ascent

A single rise from the road surface to the sun, the sky draining from blue to black on the way. a vertical climb beginning a metre above a gravel road, rising fast and straight so the road shrinks to a thread and the fields flatten, punching up through a thick cloud layer into white, then out above it where the blue drains steadily to black and stars come out, the climb continuing toward the sun until its disc grows and fills the frame in hard white light, one unbroken move with no cut at any stage

A viewer-eye rise that starts between walls and ends with the sun filling the view. a first person view starting at the bottom of an open concrete stairwell looking up at a square of sky, rising fast so the walls rush past and fall away beneath, the square of sky opening out into the whole frame, then continuing up through thin cloud and into a sky that darkens from blue to black, the sun ahead growing from a small bright point to a disc that floods the view, one unbroken climb

A wide first person climb that starts on a runway and ends with the sun filling the view. a wide first person view low over an empty runway that pitches up into a steep climb, the runway markings falling away beneath and the ground turning from a plane into a curve, a cloud layer rushing past the edges of frame, the sky ahead deepening from blue to black as stars come out across the top, the sun ahead growing from a point to a disc that floods the whole view in white, one unbroken climb

Still water shrinks to a bright speck as the ascent carries on past the cloud deck. a climb starting just above the flat water of a flooded quarry, the reflection of the sky shrinking to a bright speck as the altitude builds, the quarry walls closing to a ring then a dot, a broken cloud deck passing beneath and thinning away, the sky above going from pale blue to deep indigo to black, the sun swelling ahead from a point to a burning disc that fills the frame, one continuous rise

A wide shot following a pair who lift from a rooftop and keep climbing past the clouds. a wide shot of two figures standing on a flat rooftop who begin to rise straight upward together, the camera following at a steady distance as the rooftops below become a grid and then a haze, the pair passing through a cloud deck and coming out above it side by side, their outlines hardening as the sky behind them turns from blue to black, the sun growing ahead until both are silhouettes against white, one continuous ascent

A folded plane leaves a hand and the shot follows it from garden height to the sun. a folded paper plane thrown from a hand in a small garden, the camera following just behind it as it climbs instead of falling, the garden and then the whole town dropping away below, the plane passing through a cloud bank and coming out above it still climbing, its paper edges lit harder as the sky behind turns black, the sun ahead swelling until the plane is a dark shape against a frame of white, one continuous shot
