A visual motif wherein a character who is about to attempt some superhuman feat reaches out towards the sun (or the moon, Earth, etc.) with their hand, as if to grasp it. The camera then switches [[POV Cam|to his point of view]] as the hand "grabs" the selected celestial body via [[Perspective Magic]]. This symbolizes the human will to seize things that are just too big for them.

Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* In ''Supreme Power'', Hyperion flies into orbit for the first time as a boy, and looks down at Earth. Light from the sun gets in his eyes, and he puts his hand in front of him, over Earth. He pulls his hand back... and then puts it back in front of the world, as if to clutch it.
