Extreme close-up shot
An extreme close-up shot (ECU) crops in past the close-up until a single detail fills the frame. An eye, a trembling lip, a bead of sweat. Frame one in your browser with Morphic's image generator, then animate the still with Image to Video.

An ECU of a clock hand crossing the final second, used to stretch time at the height of the sequence.
First Contact
A macro of two fingertips almost touching, the gap between them holding the entire weight of the scene.
