This is an AI video generation comparison for
image-to-video 
prompt:
A muscular man stands confidently, arms crossed, wearing a bold purple sweatshirt emblazoned with "PUNCH ME". Suddenly, a fist strikes him from the left, launching him into disbelief. In slow motion, his skin ripples, and strands of hair flutter as the impact unfolds, a shockwave running through his body. The camera captures every nuance of his expression—surprise shifting into resilience, his eyes blazing with intensity. Ambient light catches the sweat glistening on his skin, while debris swirl...

Was expecting censorship, but currently Wan's online platform packs a good punch.

Vidu 2.0 model 'sort of, kind of' does the punch. Interestingly, his outfit's print comes out undistorted once his arms move.

Hailuo's dude is always on guard so he won't miss a single punch and will always defend himself! I2V-01 model with prompt optimisation off.

If you're making a comedic scene, please use Hailuo! This is I2V-01 model with prompt optimisation on.

Kling here confused the punch with a sneeze, aparently one of epic proportions, even added 'achoo' sound. The dude nearly decided to punch himself.

Dropped some parts of the prompt that weren't getting realistic results. This one works well.

Done many variations of this prompt but this is the closest I could get to a realistic punch. Mostly his head doesn't move at all on impact and the fist barely touches him.

Kling here predictably delivers a good result. "skin rippling" often results in a too literal exaggerated interpretation so all sorts of odd looking bits and powder ends up flying around.

Slightly simplified prompt. This is a pretty fun punch!

Fast model actually done even better than Pro for this scene.

Ok punch is a bit awkward here, needs a clearer direction in prompt.

A slightly modified prompt. Following is ok, but the cinematic gritty slow-motion effect isn't there.
Does a fist strike him from the left side during the sequence?
Does the man’s expression shift from surprise to resilience during or after impact?
Are his eyes shown with visible intensity after the hit?
Does the skin visibly ripple at the moment of impact (slow motion effect)?
Are strands of hair fluttering realistically from the force?
Is a shockwave effect shown traveling through his body?
Is sweat visible and highlighted by ambient lighting?
Is debris present and swirling through the air to enhance the gritty atmosphere?
Does the camera linger in slow motion to capture fine emotional and physical detail?
