Swap the world: the walking location swap

@source: Original clip — a young man with curly dark hair and a mustache, in a cream ribbed short-sleeve zip shirt, dark trousers and silver rings, walking toward camera and talking to it with open-handed gestures across a wide stone plaza at golden hour; a bright sunburst flares in the gap of a long modern stone-and-glass office building behind him, and at about 2.2s his right hand snaps up beside his head. Handheld camera tracks and pans right with him; people cross the plaza, a misting fountain runs at the right. **Preserve his identity, face,mustache, hair, wardrobe, rings, expression and every gesture, and the exact handheld framing,lens and camera motion, unchanged throughout. **For the first beat keep the real plaza (all rooftop signs and LED screens blank and unbranded, no logos or text); on his snap, transform only the world around him into open desert. Photoreal. 16:9. 7s. Warm golden-hour grade, low sun from screen-left, soft long shadows, gentle lens flare. NON-IP — generic landscape, no real brand names, logos or trademarks anywhere. SFX and source dialogue only. One continuous handheld shot, same framing, lens and camera move as the source, tracking and panning right with him as he walks toward camera. Hold the real golden-hour plaza for the first beat. At about 2.2 seconds, on his finger snap with his right hand up beside his head, the backlit sun blooms into a white flare that washes across the frame; as the bloom falls off the city is gone and he is in open desert — the stone underfoot has become rippled wind-sculpted sand, dunes roll unbroken to a far horizon under the same low golden sun, heat shimmer rising off the crests, a thin veil of blown sand streaming past at ground level with the same rightward parallax as the camera move. Keep the sun as the key from screen-left exactly as before so his face and the light on him barely change; add a faint warm sand bounce from below and a touch of the desert's hazy distance over him, match the source lens character, depth of field and grain, and ground him in the sand with a real soft contact shadow so he is not pasted in. He keeps walking toward camera and talking, completely unfazed, performance and timing identical. Face, identity, expression and wardrobe unchanged; the camera move identical to the source — only the world changes on the snap. SFX and source dialogue only: his original speech throughout; quiet plaza ambience and fountain hiss before the snap; a soft airy whoomph as the world flips; then warm desert wind, fine hiss of blowing sand and a wide empty-space tone after.
