Wuxia Waterfall Duel in One Continuous Shot
A 12-second single-take wuxia action sequence in Tsui Hark's visual style, following a green-robed swordswoman battling a white-robed swordsman across cliffs and a giant waterfall. The prompt specifies a continuous camera path from low-angle tracking through orbit, push-in through the waterfall, and a final pull-out to a golden-hour face close-up.
