The clips on screen play together from the first frame, muted. Open one for sound, controls and our notes.
Runway Gen-4.5
RunwayMost physically convincing of the four animal clips: shake propagates naturally down the spine, paws stay planted.
Kling 3.0 Turbo
Kuaishou
MiniMax H3
MiniMaxCorrect rotational shake propagating from head to spine, droplets follow real parabolic trajectories.
MiniMax Hailuo 02
MiniMaxRealistic inertial body wave and droplet ballistics, no artifacts.
Google Veo 3.1
GoogleTorsional body wave propagates correctly, droplets fly and fall under real gravity.
Seedance 2.5
ByteDancePlausible high-frequency fur and droplet dynamics.

PixVerse v5.5
PixVersePhysically convincing shake with realistic rotational momentum; only very minor foot slipping.
Kling 4.0
KuaishouWhole-body shake with droplets flying outward, after a cut at about 2.5 seconds from a close shot to a wider one. Checked frame by frame.
Wan 3.0
AlibabaWet fur and droplets flying outward, though the shake is concentrated in the head and ears more than the whole body. Checked frame by frame.
Vivix W1
VivixWet fur and droplets flying outward in a plausible spray. A cut moves the dog from the lawn to a wet deck halfway through. Checked frame by frame.
FLUX 3
Black Forest LabsWet, matted fur and droplets flying outward in a plausible spray; the shake is strongest in the head and upper body rather than the whole body.
Grok Video
xAIRealistic radial water-shedding and fur deformation; minor blur at peak shake speed.
Kling 3.0
KuaishouBelievable shake and spray; torso slightly too rigid instead of rippling head-to-tail.
