Melting Melting input image of the sample
Prompt The frame opens on a quiet, abandoned desert basketball court bathed in the golden hue of late afternoon. A chrome basketball rests in the center of the court — gleaming, still, flawless. In the background, the hoop stands rigid under the sweltering sky, its backboard and rim casting a long shadow across the concrete. Then, as if the sun has turned against them, the metal surface of the basketball begins to ripple. The clean grooves distort. It slumps slightly, and a soft metallic hiss fills the silence. Thin streams of molten silver start to drip slowly down its curved surface, pooling on the court below. The ball continues to deform — not collapsing, but warping unnaturally, melting into itself like hot wax. Simultaneously, the hoop begins to decay. The backboard — once sharp-edged and square — starts to sag, its corners bending downward. The rim softens, loses its perfect circle, and droops like a wilted flower. The net, if present, disintegrates into strands of liquefied material, dripping into the void.
Only the court and desert remain unchanged — the paint lines, the sand, the horizon. Everything else in frame stays still, except for these two melting relics of play and structure. Lighting remains warm, natural, and dreamlike. Atmosphere: surreal heat-induced decay. Styling: minimalist sci-fi surrealism — where even metal succumbs to time and temperature.
