Smoke transition effect

A rolling bank travels the wide frame and leaves a different street. a wide shot of an empty cobbled street in flat morning light, a dense bank of grey smoke rolling across the whole frame from left to right at head height until the street is completely hidden, then rolling out of frame right to leave a wide desert road with the same horizon height and vanishing point, morning grey replaced by hard amber light

Low smoke rises to fill the frame and drops onto another landscape. a wide shot of a flat dry field with low grey smoke lying along the ground, the smoke lifting as a single sheet up through the frame until everything is obscured, then falling back down to leave a dense green forest floor in the same wide framing, the horizon line matched, pale flat light turning into broken green shade

Smoke falls from the top of frame and hands over to a new space. a vertical shot looking up a concrete stairwell, dense grey smoke pouring down from the top of frame and filling the shot from the top edge to the bottom until nothing of the stairs is visible, then sinking out of the bottom of frame to leave a bright open glass atrium in the same upward angle, hard shafts of light cutting through the smoke as it goes

A thin trail thickens into a full wipe and a new shot is behind it. a close vertical shot of a just extinguished candle with one thin ribbon of smoke rising from the wick, the ribbon thickening and multiplying until the grey fills the whole frame, then peeling back to reveal a single desk lamp glowing on a cluttered desk in the same frame position, deep shadow before and a warm pool of lamp light after

A wall of smoke crosses the lens and a different room is behind it. a vertical shot of a person standing in a narrow brick alley at dusk, a thick bank of grey smoke rolling in from the right edge of frame and building until the whole lens is solid opaque grey for a beat, then thinning from the left to reveal the same person in the same stance standing in a lamplit library aisle, cool blue dusk light replaced by warm lamp light

Rising kitchen smoke covers the lens and a workshop appears. a vertical shot of a hot dark pan on a stove with a thick column of smoke rising straight into the lens, the column widening until the frame is fully obscured in grey, then breaking apart into thinning wisps to reveal a wooden workbench with hand tools laid out in the same frame position as the pan, warm stove light giving way to cool window light

Smoke off a wheel swamps the frame and another road appears. a wide low shot of a plain dark car turning hard on loose gravel, grey smoke boiling off the rear wheel and swelling forward until it covers the whole frame, then thinning to leave the same car driving straight on a wet mountain road in the same frame position, dry dusty light replaced by cold blue overcast

A breath of smoke fills the lens and clears onto another setting. a close vertical shot of a person breathing out a slow plume of pale smoke toward the lens in a dark room, the plume expanding until it fills and whites out the entire frame, then curling away in ribbons to reveal the same face in daylight on a balcony, the breath finished, one soft key from the side before and open sky light after

Smoke crosses between two people standing in the same place. a wide shot of a person standing alone in the middle of an empty warehouse, a thick roll of smoke crossing the frame at waist height and climbing to cover them entirely, then dispersing upward to show a different person standing in exactly the same spot in the same posture, the warehouse unchanged, one high window lighting the smoke from behind

Smoke fills a turn and the person comes out of it elsewhere. a vertical shot of a person turning on the spot on a bare dark floor, smoke boiling up around their feet and climbing their body as they turn until the whole frame is opaque, then clearing outward from the centre to show the same person still turning at the same speed in a sunlit courtyard, the turn unbroken, hard low light on the smoke as it lifts
