🎈 Aether Splash – Water Balloon Impact LoRA for Wan 2.2 5B (i2v)
Aether Splash is a custom LoRA trained for slow-motion splashes — a single water balloon bursting on the subject’s face with full liquid impact. It was designed specifically for image-to-video (i2v) workflows using Wan 2.2 5B, and works best with clear portraits or close-up images of people. Best results are on human subjects, but it may work on others too!

💦 Trigger Phrase
Use this exact prompt to trigger the effect:
water balloon bursting on face
🧠 How to Use (i2v)
Start with an image around 768px resolution (512–768px works well) – Portrait or landscape format is fine – Should feature a clearly visible subject, preferably a person – Front-facing or 3/4 angle works best
Prompt using the trigger phrase above – Keep prompt minimal – The LoRA tells the model to animate a balloon hitting and bursting on the face
