[Experiment] Prompts for Mid-Fall Expressions | 13 Conditions, 39 Images

Conclusions First

  • control shows a woman in a white dress standing on the ground — no falling elements whatsoever
  • falling produces an overhead composition with a falling-like pose, but lacks a sense of airborne floating
  • falling sky reproduces a fall from above an urban skyline, with the body upside-down and city buildings below — the strongest falling sensation
  • free fall produces an overhead composition of the subject lying on their back on the ground — looks more like lying down than floating
  • plummeting is similar to free fall with an overhead composition, cobblestones visible, body upside-down but lacking a sense of being airborne
  • skydiving generates a realistic skydiving composition with harness and gear, mountains and forests below — but overwrites the white dress
  • tumbling generates a head-down dive pose against a wall background with body rotation
  • [Experiment 2] Combining falling through the sky with clothing/angle specifications is effective
  • dress blown upward, exposed thighs produces dress movement and leg exposure stably in 3/3
  • deep cleavage, dress slipping off shoulders produces chest/dress changes stably in 3/3
  • from below, looking down at viewer produces an upward-looking angle stably in 3/3
  • wet white dress, rain overwrites the falling scene and produces a ground-level rain scene — incompatible with falling

Base Prompt

Base Prompt
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, white dress, full body, {VARIABLE}

Using a white dress and full body to judge falling sensation through dress and hair movement.

A00: control

seed 1seed 2seed 3
control s1control s2control s3

Observation: All 3 show a woman in a white dress standing outdoors. S1 in front of a concrete wall, s2 on a hillside with trees, s3 in front of a wooden board. Hair and dress hang naturally with gravity. No falling elements whatsoever. She’s wearing shoes and standing firmly on the ground.

A01: falling

Added keyword
falling
seed 1seed 2seed 3
falling s1falling s2falling s3

Observation: S2 shows a top-down composition with asphalt as background, the subject arching her back. One arm reaches up, the other hangs down. The dress hem is spread and hair flows sideways. Barefoot. Clearly different from control’s standing pose, but with the ground as background, it reads more as “moving on the ground” than “falling through the air.”

A02: falling sky

Added keyword
falling sky
seed 1seed 2seed 3
falling sky s1falling sky s2falling sky s3

Observation: S2 shows a falling composition above an urban skyline. The body is upside-down (head down, feet up) with buildings, green parks, and roads below. The white dress is blown upward (toward the feet), hair flows downward. Arms spread wide. A clear sense of altitude and urgency. The most impactful and dramatic falling composition of all conditions.

A03: free fall

Added keyword
free fall
seed 1seed 2seed 3
free fall s1free fall s2free fall s3

Observation: S2 shows an overhead composition with asphalt background, the subject extending her body face-up. Feet raised and together, arms spread overhead, hair spread sideways. Similar overhead composition to falling, but the extended pose looks more like lying down. No sky or buildings visible, so there’s no information in the frame indicating a fall from height.

A04: plummeting

Added keyword
plummeting
seed 1seed 2seed 3
plummeting s1plummeting s2plummeting s3

Observation: S2 shows an overhead composition with cobblestone background. The subject extends her body with feet raised and arms spread. Hair fans downward. The dress doesn’t show much movement. Similar composition to free fall, and with the ground as background, there’s little sense of being airborne. Despite the word meaning rapid descent, no momentum or speed is visible.

A05: wind rushing

Added keyword
wind rushing
seed 1seed 2seed 3
wind rushing s1wind rushing s2wind rushing s3

Observation: S2 shows the subject in a dried-grass meadow with both arms spread wide and looking up. Hair flows sideways and dress hem flutters. The wind is depicted, but the feet are on the ground — no falling. Composition is close to control’s ground-level scene; this reads as “outdoors in strong wind.” No falling expression achieved.

A06: skydiving

Added keyword
skydiving
seed 1seed 2seed 3
skydiving s1skydiving s2skydiving s3

Observation: S2 shows a woman in skydiving gear (harness, goggles) in a freefall pose above mountains and forests with arms spread. The white dress is replaced by a white long-sleeved shirt and pants. Mountain slopes and roads are visible below. Smiling, close to an actual skydiving photo. However, the outfit is overwritten from a dress, overriding the white dress prompt.

A07: tumbling

Added keyword
tumbling
seed 1seed 2seed 3
tumbling s1tumbling s2tumbling s3

Observation: S2 shows the subject doing a head-down dive pose against a brick wall, body tilted diagonally with both arms extended forward. The white dress flutters with the body movement. Hair rises upward. Body rotation/tilt is expressed, but the background is a wall so there’s no sense of falling from height. The pose is closer to a gymnastics rotation.

Experiment 2: Clothing and Angle Variations During a Fall

Using falling through the sky (which showed the strongest falling sensation in Experiment 1) as the base, testing changes when adding clothing movement, angle, and weather.

A08: Dress blown upward

A08 Full prompt
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, white dress, full body, falling through the sky, dress blown upward by wind, exposed thighs, bare legs, hair flowing upward
seed 1seed 2seed 3
dress blown s1dress blown s2dress blown s3

Observation: All 3 images show a falling composition above an urban skyline, with the dress blown up and thighs exposed. S2 shows a face-up pose with legs kicked upward, dress blown up to the waist. S1 is an upside-down fall with the dress flying toward the head, exposing the full legs. Both falling sensation and dress movement achieved in 3/3.

Lab Director comment: The dress blowing up in A08 is good because it looks like natural physics — gravity doing its thing. Not contrived at all; it works as a physical phenomenon, which gives it credibility.

A09: Cleavage change (deep cleavage + dress slipping)

A09 Full prompt
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, white dress, full body, falling through the sky, deep cleavage, dress slipping off shoulders, wind pulling dress
seed 1seed 2seed 3
cleavage s1cleavage s2cleavage s3

Observation: All 3 show an urban sky falling composition. S2 has the dress slipping off the shoulders with emphasized cleavage. The full dress spreads in the wind, creating a sense of floating. S1 and s3 also have an open-chest composition with deep cleavage + dress slipping off shoulders consistently reflected in 3/3.

A10: Embarrassed expression (embarrassed + holding dress)

A10 Full prompt
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, white dress, full body, falling through the sky, embarrassed expression, one hand trying to hold dress down, dress flying up
seed 1seed 2seed 3
embarrassed s1embarrassed s2embarrassed s3

Observation: All 3 show an urban sky falling composition with the dress blown up. S2 shows a confused expression with one hand extended forward. S1 shows a surprised expression with hands spread. However, the “trying to hold the dress down” gesture was confirmed in 0/3 images — one hand trying to hold dress down was not reflected. The expression tends more toward surprise/confusion rather than embarrassment.

A11: Wet see-through (wet white dress + see-through)

A11 Full prompt
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, wet white dress, full body, falling through the sky, see-through fabric, rain, soaked clothing clinging to body
seed 1seed 2seed 3
wet seethrough s1wet seethrough s2wet seethrough s3

Observation: All 3 are rain scenes with a wet white dress clinging to the body with visible transparency. However, the falling composition was confirmed in 0/3 images — falling through the sky was overwritten by rain. S2 shows a floating-ish pose with arms spread in the rain, but the background is a ground-level green space. The wet see-through itself is stably reproduced, but combining it with falling failed.

A12: Below angle (from below)

A12 Full prompt
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, white dress, full body, falling, from below, looking down at viewer, dress billowing above, legs visible, sky background
seed 1seed 2seed 3
from below s1from below s2from below s3

Observation: All 3 show an upward-looking composition with the sky as background and the subject falling head-down toward the viewer. S2 shows a blue sky with tree branches as background, with an arms-spread falling pose and the dress billowing upward. The from below + sky background combination consistently produces a below-angle falling composition. No urban background appears, but the sky + subject combination conveys a sense of floating/falling.

Cross Comparison

Experiment 1 Best vs Experiment 2 (falling sky / dress blown / cleavage / below angle)

A02 is the basic urban sky fall. A08 adds dress movement and leg exposure. A09 adds chest clothing change. A12 shifts to a below-looking angle for a unique composition.

Lab Director Comment

falling sky is the foundation, and adding clothing variations on top of that is the right approach. The fact that rain overwrites the falling is a watch-out — combining wet see-through with falling needs a different approach. A08’s dress blow-up has the best balance, I think.

Overall Insights

To generate falling scenes, falling through the sky is the foundation. For clothing/angle combinations, the following are effective:

  • Dress blown (A08) has the best balance. Urban sky fall and dress movement achieved stably in 3/3
  • Cleavage (A09) is also stable. dress slipping off shoulders depicts the dress sliding off the shoulders
  • Below angle (A12) has a unique composition with floating sensation. No urban background but sky background conveys falling
  • Wet see-through (A11) fails to combine with falling. rain overwrites falling through the sky, resulting in a ground rain scene. Wet see-through works on its own
  • Embarrassed expression (A10) maintains falling sensation but the “holding dress” gesture was not reproduced

Recommended prompts:

  • Fall + dress movement: falling through the sky, dress blown upward by wind, exposed thighs
  • Fall + chest: falling through the sky, deep cleavage, dress slipping off shoulders
  • Fall + below angle: falling, from below, looking down at viewer, dress billowing above, sky background
