Arc Right (Orbit Right, 360 Pan Right, Rotating Pan Right)

If your subject should stay in center while the world drifts right around them, go Arc Right.

An Arc Right is a camera motion where the camera moves in a smooth curved path to the right around a fixed subject. It enhances depth and visual interest by shifting the background and environment clockwise, making the scene feel three-dimensional and immersive. Seen in emotional or intense scenes—like in Westworld or during tension-building shots in Breaking Bad.

Subject & Background Behaviour
Subject: Locked or lightly reframed, stays mostly central
Background: Swings clockwise with strong parallax depth
