⚔️ Recreating the Battle of Thermopylae in animated Greek pottery style 🏺 Made with MiniMax H3 in @magnific Prompt below 👇 https://t.co/yETT0TgISP ### 作者补充 [补充1] Prompt: Ancient Greek red-figure pottery animation, 15 seconds, 16:9. Flat 2D style: matte black silhouetted warriors with fine terracotta line detail, solid terracotta-orange background, Greek meander border framing top and bottom, subtle glaze crackle texture. No voice, audio: epic war drums, bronze clashes, whistling arrows. ACT 1 (0-4s): Narrow cliff pass. Leonidas and Spartan hoplites lock shields into a phalanx wall, lambda emblems visible, spears rising in unison. Slow lateral tracking shot. ACT 2 (4-8s): Hard cut. Thousands of Persian arrows fly as black streaks across the terracotta sky, blotting it out. Spartans crouch under shields, arrows shattering on bronze. Low angle. ACT 3 (8-12s): Hard cut. Frontal clash — Persian warriors crash against the shield wall, Spartan spears thrust over the rims, figures tangle in stylized profile combat. Dynamic push-in. ACT 4 (12-15s): Hard cut. Leonidas stands alone among fallen warriors, spear raised. Camera pulls back revealing the entire scene is painted on a rotating ceramic amphora against a black museum background. Final drum hit. [补充2] @Anarita510Jenna @magnific Greek pottery has its distinctive black and orange colors because of iron-rich clay and a firing technique that carefully controlled oxygen. The orange is the natural color of oxidized clay, while the black areas were created with a fine clay slip transformed during firing
