Giant Whale Over the City

Can AI replace special effects in movies? An experiment combining an ordinary day-in-the-life scene with something completely fantastical --- not just visually, but with sound too.

MiniMax H3 Prompt: A hyper-realistic handheld phone video at a normal city crosswalk during the day. People wait for the light, cars pass, and the ambience is completely ordinary and mundane. In the middle of the scene, a low distant whale call is heard from above. Several people, including the camera operator, look up. High in the sky, partially obscured by clouds, a colossal blue whale slowly swims overhead as though the atmosphere were an ocean. It is enormous, larger than several city blocks, and moves gracefully through the clouds with realistic weight and motion. The surrounding buildings make its impossible scale instantly clear. More of its body becomes visible as it glides across the sky, with fins, tail, and subtle cloud interaction. The pedestrians below stand frozen, looking up in disbelief. The scene should feel like an ordinary urban phone recording interrupted by one vast, surreal, awe-inspiring event that is presented as if it were really happening.
