Base Prompt
Using a white dress and full body to judge falling sensation through dress and hair movement.
A00: control
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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)
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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)
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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)
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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)
| seed 1 | seed 2 | seed 3 |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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)
| Seed | falling sky (A02) | dress blown (A08) | cleavage (A09) | below angle (A12) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| s1 | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
| s2 | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
| s3 | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
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.

Experiment 2: Clothing and Angle Variations During Fall
| Condition | Falling feel | Dress movement | Stability | Side effects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dress blown (A08) | Strong | Dress billows up, legs exposed | 3/3 | None |
| Cleavage (A09) | Strong | Slips off shoulders + dress spreads | 3/3 | None |
| Embarrassed (A10) | Strong | Dress billows | 3/3 | “Holding dress” gesture not reproduced |
| Wet see-through (A11) | None | Clings + transparent | 0/3 | rain overwrites falling. Becomes ground scene |
| Below angle (A12) | Strong | Dress billows upward | 3/3 | No urban background |
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 shouldersdepicts 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.
rainoverwritesfalling 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
