Brick Police

Learnings: The nature of being above clouds helps provides a point of reference for jet movement. Learned a lot of fighter jet maneuver terms. Asked for chase, 3/4, side, top view, 3/4 raised angles. Could have asked for more but wanted to cap at 60 sec. AI struggled--lots of morphing--just got cherry pick best sections of footage.

This shows how many sound effects that were layered in post. Each blue pod is a single sound effect. Hit play.

Used Gemini Pro account, three prompts that used Omni Flash. Clip 1 — Walk (10s) A WAR DOG soldier (CNOD) walks through Ozeti, Eastern Europe. Buildings are battle-scarred, combat debris and burned-out cars line the street, mist hangs in the air. He carries a weathered M4 carbine slung over his tactical vest and scans for enemy combatants. He speaks confidently to camera in a Texas accent with a southern drawl: “People think I look like James Bond. Well, I am James Bond out here.” Shot on a RED Dragon cinema camera mounted on a dolly track, 85mm lens at f/1.8. Long shot, half body showing, medium close-up. He walks at a slow, steady pace through the streets at golden hour. The camera dollies backward ahead of him, angled 45 degrees to his front-left, matching his walking speed exactly so his position in the frame never changes. He remains locked in the left third of the frame for the entire 8 seconds, from the first frame to the last, with open space on the right. His gaze stays fixed off-frame right. Perfectly smooth, mechanical camera movement, no float, no sway, no handheld motion. Off-center composition, subject never centered. Extremely shallow depth of field, background dissolved into soft bokeh. Ultra photorealistic, 16:9, 35mm film grain. Do not alter the letters on his uniform or add items. Audio: no music, no emphasis score. Only natural ambient sound — boots crunching on gravel. Extension 1 — Close-up Extend the shot and crop to a full close-up. Same soldier, same Texas accent and southern drawl, still walking, still locked left of frame. He continues: “And since I am Bond, you should fear me, run from me and cower. I’ll put you down. No hesitation, son.” Same dolly, same 45-degree front-left angle, same mechanical lock, same shallow depth of field, same golden-hour mist and battle-scarred street falling into bokeh. Do not alter the letters on his uniform or add items. Extension 2 — Stop and ready He stops walking. The camera continues backward, revealing him in full frame. He brings the carbine to the ready, pointing it at someone slightly left off camera. Texas accent, southern drawl: “Lay your weapons down, and run, you weak peasants. Weak you are!” Camera stays on the dolly track, still mechanical, no handheld. He is no longer walking; the reveal comes only from the camera pulling back. Off-center, never centered. Do not alter the letters on his uniform or add items. Post All three clips into the NLE. Tighten the joins. Add 3–4 audio layers: distant war, a subtle score under the ambience, and an M4 click on the ready. A bit more contrast, slightly desaturated, film-artifact filter. Done.
