— The Garden of Earthly Delights, Hieronymus Bosch
One continuous FPV shot that flies you into a famous painting, then lands back on the original. Here is how we made three of them for Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, and the complete output the skill gave us for one of them. From the SkyFable video “I came across a skill that blew my mind.”

— The Garden of Earthly Delights, Hieronymus Bosch
Treat the painting as one frozen frame from a real film, and work backwards: what was happening right before this moment froze? The video starts in a live-action world, the camera flies through it as a first-person drone in one take, and the story slows down into the exact pose of the painting. In the last second, the world turns back into brushstrokes.
The people don’t have to be copied over one-to-one. The story can add characters and small interactions that were never in the painting, as long as everything lands back in its original place at the end.
1. Get the skill. It’s painting-film-director by Lansis0734 (MIT licensed): https://github.com/Lansis0734/painting-film-director
Once SkyFable launches, you can load a skill three ways: pick a built-in one, upload your own skill file, or paste a GitHub link. It also works in any agent that reads SKILL.md files.
2. Ask it. All it needs is the painting, a length and an aspect ratio (16:9 if you don’t say). Attach the painting if you can. The skill writes in Chinese by default, so ask for English if you need it.
Turn Gustav Klimt's The Kiss into a 20-second, 16:9 film. Write the prompt in English.
Add any settings you want on top. For our left panel we asked for every person to be a white unglazed bisque porcelain figure, except God, and for the camera to fly from the top of the painting to the bottom.
3. Generate. Paste the final prompt into a video model and give it the painting as @Image1. We used Seedance 2.5 (reference-to-video), 9:16, 1080p, with native audio on. The painting as @Image1 is what lets the last frame match the original.
The skill doesn’t jump straight to a prompt. It hands you four parts, and the full prompt comes last. Here is everything it wrote for our left panel, The Garden of Eden (20s, 9:16).
