POV Time-Freeze Walk Through Frozen City Crowd
A first-person cinematic prompt where the viewer walks through a busy city street where everyone and everything is frozen mid-motion, moving objects by hand before time suddenly resumes in an explosive burst. It relies on POV camera work, time-freeze particle effects, and a sharp silence-to-chaos audio contrast.
