## What it does

This skill lets the agent build a short video from a single still image via each::sense. It covers gentle photo motion, slow pan-and-zoom moves, cinemagraphs where only one area loops, parallax depth and animated logo intros. Portraits and landscapes get their own prompt examples.

What ships is a set of ready `curl` calls to the each::sense API, with no local code. The image goes in as a link under `image_urls`, and your `EACHLABS_API_KEY` travels in the `X-API-Key` header. No key, no video.

The text of the request decides what moves and what stays frozen. For a cinemagraph, name the one detail that should live, like steam over a cup.

## When to use it
- animate a portrait with breathing and small eye movements
- push the camera slowly toward the subject of a landscape
- loop one detail of a frame while the rest stays still
- build a product clip with a camera orbit from one photo
- turn a flat logo into a video intro

## Example prompts
- Use image-to-video on `photo.jpg` and give it gentle, natural movement
- Make a cinemagraph from the coffee shop picture where only the steam moves
- Apply a slow documentary-style zoom into the centre of this landscape
