"THE GLASS EYE" — 10s, 5 shots x 2s, hardcut chain

Logline: A glass marble rolls through a neon alley, and wherever it touches, the city's electricity is pulled inside it.
Rule of the World: Glass acts as a vacuum for light.

Full Prompt (Paste-ready)

Global: Cinematic photorealism, 16:9, 24fps. Hard cuts only. No motion blur or camera shake. Lighting: High-contrast cyan/magenta neon. Identity lock: Marble texture from @Image2, Alley architecture from @Image1.

SHOT 1 (0–2s): THE UNDER-SOIL EYE
Camera: Inside the pavement looking up through a translucent glass crack.
Move: Static.
Subject action: The marble (@Image2) rolls directly over the crack; as it passes, the neon light from the alley walls visibly bends and gets sucked into the marble's core.
Impossible element: Light behaves like a liquid being vacuumed.
Light: Bottom-lit magenta glow from the marble.
Cut-out: Circular shape of the marble center-frame.

SHOT 2 (2–4s): THE PUPIL AXIS
Camera: 360-degree orbit locked on the center of the marble.
Move: High-speed rotation.
Subject action: The alley (@Image1) spins into a blur while the marble remains perfectly still and sharp in the center; sparks of blue electricity jump from wet pavement to the glass.
Impossible element: Environment rotates while the rolling object stays stationary in screen-space.
Light: Flashing cyan strobes.
Cut-out: High-speed rotational motion.

SHOT 3 (4–6s): THE REFLECTION TUNNEL
Camera: Lens lives inside the reflection on the marble's surface.
Move: Zooming "out" from the reflection to reveal the real world.
Subject action: We see a distorted Tokyo tower in the glass; the marble hits a puddle, and the reflection and the real world swap places.
Impossible element: Reflection becomes the physical reality.
Light: Golden hour sun hitting the glass edge.
Cut-out: Water ripple texture.

SHOT 4 (6–8s): THE MACRO LADDER
Camera: 5mm Macro lens.
Move: Tracking millimetres behind the marble.
Subject action: The marble rolls over a discarded circuit board; the traces on the board light up and liquefy, flowing into the glass.
Impossible element: Solid metal traces turning into liquid light.
Light: Rim light on the glass edge.
Cut-out: Bright white flare.

SHOT 5 (8–10s): THE LIGHT-RAY POV
Camera: Lens is a beam of light trapped inside the marble.
Move: Forward thrust.
Subject action: The marble stops suddenly; all the collected neon light erupts forward like a laser, illuminating a dark doorway.
Impossible element: A marble acting as a high-intensity projector.
Light: Absolute darkness except for the forward beam.
