Luma adds Camera Angle Concepts to Ray2

Luma has released nine Camera Angle Concepts for its Ray2 video model in Dream Machine, letting creators set shot framing directly in the prompt and adding to its earlier camera-motion controls.

Luma announced Camera Angle Concepts, a set of framing controls for its Ray2 video generation model. They are available in Dream Machine starting today.

The release follows the Camera Motion Concepts we reported on earlier. Luma uses "Concepts" as the name for its research method of teaching generative models new ideas and controls. The company says creative control is key to getting value out of generative models.

The first batch has nine angles:

  • Low Angle
  • High Angle
  • Ground Level
  • Eye Level
  • Aerial
  • Over the Shoulder
  • Overhead
  • Selfie
  • POV

Luma says each angle works on its own and can be combined with other controls in Ray2, so framing can be set at the prompt level alongside motion. The company describes the set as a "visual vocabulary" for shaping emotion, focus and narrative. Examples include Low Angle to suggest power, and Over the Shoulder or POV for more intimate or immersive shots.

The announcement doesn't explain how Concepts are trained or implemented. It also gives no benchmarks or quality comparisons, and doesn't say whether the angle controls will reach partner platforms such as Adobe Firefly, where Ray2 became available earlier. Luma is asking users to suggest more angles, which suggests the set will grow.
