TITLE: Fume Harrow — Orbital Rise (10s)
LIVE-ACTION FOOTAGE — NOT ANIMATION. Photoreal, zero CGI/illustration look.
Duration: 10 seconds total. Capture 120 fps → playback 24 fps for smooth slow motion.
Aspect: 2:3 portrait. Resolution: 4K.
Subject/Design Locks:
- **The Fume Harrow** charging on wind-sculpted **salt flats** among cathedral **basalt needles** at blue twilight; slim crescent planet high.
- **Eyeless**; vision via razor-thin **brow + cheek sensor slits** with **dim chartreuse line-glow** (subtle).
- **Piano-black anisotropic chitin** (cross-hatched micro-striations, mica flicker, healed stress cracks, dew beads).
- **Quadra-hinged jaws** + **inner pharyngeal jaw**; saliva strands **freeze into glassy filaments**.
- **WOUND-FOG** defense: milk-pale gas with faint green tint, heavier than air, **ice-fine crystals** sparkling.
Lighting (naturalistic):
- Dual-moon **hard rim** + cool sky/salt bounce fill. Micro-speculars glide across chitin and enamel as the camera moves. **No diffusion/bloom.**
Camera & Lens:
- Orbit on a circular track/gimbal: **clockwise 120° arc** around the Harrow while **booming from 0.3 m to 2.6 m** height (bottom → top).
- Start radius ≈ **2.0 m**, maintain distance; **parallax** on basalt needles.
- Lens feel **80–100mm** full-frame equivalent, **f/2.8**, shallow DoF; real lens breathing; natural motion blur for 120 fps capture.
- Focus: face/jaw tracking with occasional rack to the **dragging claw**.
Action Beats (timecoded):
0–2s  | Ground-level, front-left low angle on the **dragging claw** carving **twin trenches**; faint **WOUND-FOG** pours into the ruts, crystals sparkle. Begin slow clockwise orbit; camera starts rising.
2–5s  | Drift past the **front** of the Harrow—**jaws flare**, inner jaw snaps; saliva filaments snap in slo-mo; slit glow stays restrained. Rim light skates over the brow and canines.
5–8s  | Continue orbit to **front-right three-quarter** while booming higher; fog eddies around the forelimb, salt granules ping outward in glittering arcs; parallax pushes needles behind.
8–10s | End at a **high, towering angle** (2.6 m), slightly ahead of the predator; look down **30°** as it bears toward camera; hold on the icy filaments and glowing slit while fog curls over the trenches.
Audio note (if supported): sub-bass chest rumble + granular salt skitter; otherwise near-silent.
Color & Finish:
- **ACES 1.3** tonemapping; deep steel-blue twilight; chartreuse glow **subtle**; natural highlight roll-off; restrained optical film grain only.
NEGATIVE PROMPTS (hard):
- Xenomorph/Predator/Star-Wars motifs, biomech hoses, translucent dome, UI/HUD/text, lens halos/fake bloom, anime/cartoon/CG render look, human heel-to-toe gait.
