What is the Smell the Lens effect?

It is a video effect where the camera pushes in and the head grows huge. The face gets a fisheye big head look.

What photo works best?

Use one clear photo where the face or muzzle points at the camera. People, pets, and animals all work.

Is the output a video or an image?

It is a video. You watch the camera move in and the head enlarge in real time.

Does the big head effect work on pets?

Yes. A cat, tiger, or sheep photo gets the same face zoom and oversized head.

How is this different from a plain fisheye filter?

A fisheye filter only bends a still frame. This one animates the push-in, so the big head reveal builds as the camera moves.

Push the camera right up to the face and watch the head balloon. The Smell the Lens effect turns one photo into a funny big head video with a fisheye look.

What Happens

The camera glides in toward your subject. As it gets close, the head and eyes swell up. Faces stretch into a cartoon big head, like a fisheye lens pressed against the nose. The body stays small, so the oversized face lands the joke.
