TITLE: Fume Harrow — Low-Angle Rising Orbit (10s slo-mo)
LIVE-ACTION VIDEO — NOT ANIMATION. Photoreal, zero CGI/illustration look.
Duration: 10 seconds. Capture 120 fps, play back 24 fps (5× slow motion).
Aspect: 2:3 portrait. Resolution: 4K or higher.
Subject locks:
- **Fume Harrow** (mutated human-DNA apex predator) on **salt flats** with distant **basalt needles** at blue twilight; slim **crescent planet** in sky.
- **Eyeless**; vision via razor-thin **brow + cheek sensor slits** (very faint **chartreuse** line-glow).
- **Piano-black anisotropic chitin** with cross-hatched micro-striations, mica flicker, healed stress cracks; dew beads on high points.
- **Quadra-hinged jaws**, glass-enamel teeth, **inner pharyngeal jaw**; defensive **WOUND-FOG** (milk-pale gas, faint green tint, heavy, ice-fine crystals).
Lighting:
- Dual-moon **hard rim** + cool sky/salt bounce; micro-speculars on chitin and enamel; **no diffusion or bloom**.
Camera & lens:
- **Rising orbit** on a circular dolly + crane (or drone-jib), **clockwise 140°** around subject.
- Start **10 cm above ground** near the **lead claw**, then **rise to 2.5 m above head** by the end; maintain hero steadiness.
- Lens feel: **65–85 mm** spherical, shallow DoF, natural lens breathing; real optics only.
Action & blocking (timecoded):
0–2s — CAMERA: low, tight on claw trenches; slow clockwise orbit begins, skimming ground.
CREATURE: low prowl, shoulders rolling; **sensor slits glow faintly**.
2–5s — CAMERA: continues orbit while **booming upward**, revealing chest and face; parallax on basalt needles.
CREATURE: **jaws flare**, **inner jaw snaps**; saliva ropes peel off and **ice into filaments** that drift.
5–8s — CAMERA: mid-height; passes the profile and reaches **¾ rear**; fog catches back-rim sparkle.
CREATURE: a wrist gash vents **WOUND-FOG** that **hugs the trenches**, crystals glint; salt granules kick in slow arcs.
8–10s — CAMERA: crests **over shoulder**, looking **down past crown**; completes the 140° arc and holds for one beat on the **glowing slit + rimed clawprints** as the **tail whips** through frame.
Color & finish:
- **ACES 1.3** tonemapping; deep steel-blue twilight; chartreuse glow **restrained**; natural highlight roll-off; light optical grain.
Capture hints:
- Shutter 1/240–1/500 @ 120 fps (crisp micro-debris while keeping natural motion).
- Keep CPL rotation modest to tame chitin glare **without killing specular shape**.
- Practical ground haze; no artificial lens halos/flares.
NEGATIVE PROMPTS (hard):
- Xenomorph/Predator/Star-Wars motifs, biomech hoses/domes, UI/HUD/text, anime/cartoon/CG render look, diffusion “beauty” glow, human heel-to-toe walk.
Optional audio (if supported): sub-bass body rumble, crystalline salt skitters, breath hiss; otherwise silent.
