Camera Chase Across a City-Sized Biomechanical Ocean Titan
A continuous aerial chase follows two flight craft skimming the shoulders and spine of a colossal biomechanical titan striding through an alien ocean. The camera weaves through moving architecture and mechanical joints, passes an observation chamber in the titan's neck, then ascends past its head to reveal dozens more giants on the horizon.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
The camera is already racing across the back of a colossal biomechanical titan walking through an alien ocean. Its body is the size of a city, covered in forests, rivers, glowing machinery, and moving architecture. Two flight craft skim along its shoulders and spine as the giant creature strides through clouds and water, each footstep sending kilometer-wide waves across the sea below. The chase weaves through moving structures embedded in the creature's body, across rotating mechanical joints, and through gaps between enormous armored plates. Midway, the camera passes through a transparent observation chamber built into the titan's neck where a lone observer watches the world slide by beneath them. The final ascent follows the craft up the creature's towering head before revealing dozens of other giants emerging from the ocean across the horizon.
