Skate Skate — an elephant hits the ramps.
Skate Skate puts the subject on a skateboard and sends it gliding forward. The sample opens on a close view of a large grey elephant with long curved tusks, standing in dry golden grass. It walks toward the camera, a skateboard appears under its feet, and it rolls into a skate park of concrete ramps built right into the savanna.
The sample
What happens in the Skate Skate sample.
The first frame is a tight shot of the elephant's head and tusks. It then walks forward through the grass. Soon it is riding a skateboard along a pinkish concrete path, ears out. Next it rolls past the edge of a ramp. After that the view widens to show a whole skate park of curved ramps and half-pipes, some with red paint marks, set among flat-topped trees. The elephant carves between them and grows smaller as the camera draws back to a wide shot.
The elephant's grey skin, tusks and shape stay the same through the clip. The setting shifts from plain grassland to a skate park while keeping the same dry grass, trees and pale sky. The camera starts close and ends wide. The sample begins from a front-on close-up of an animal, so a clear photo of your subject facing the camera, with its whole head in view, is the safe start.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
One clear subject
The sample follows a single elephant from start to end. A photo with one main subject is closest to it.
Face toward the lens
It opens on the elephant head-on, then walks straight toward the lens. A front-facing photo matches that opening.
Outdoor daylight
The sample stays in bright daylight under an open sky. A photo taken outdoors in daylight sits close to that look.

Skate Skate, answered.
What does the Skate Skate effect do?
An elephant with long tusks walks out of the savanna, climbs onto a skateboard and rolls through a skate park of concrete ramps as the camera pulls back to a wide view.
Can Skate Skate be used on animals?
The sample uses one. It opens on a large grey elephant in dry grassland, which walks forward, stands on a skateboard and rolls between concrete ramps. The elephant's look stays the same while the skate park appears around it. The sample does not show a person, so it only tells you how an animal subject looks. A single photo is the only input.
How much does Skate Skate cost?
5–10 credits per run: 5 credits (~$2.00) at the default length and resolution, more for a longer or sharper clip (5 credits at 5s · 10 credits at 10s). New verified accounts receive 3 welcome credits once. The welcome bonus contributes toward the 5-credit first run; you need 2 more credits from a plan or credit pack.
How long is a Skate Skate video?
5s or 10s at 720p. It follows the shape of your photo. Nothing you export is watermarked, on any plan.
Do I need to write a prompt?
No. Skate Skate is a template on the Kling engine. King AI sends the effect's name and your photo; there is no text prompt to write.
