Locked medium shot. The subject from the reference photo films a product review vlog, holding a regular coffee mug. 0-2s he talks directly to the camera, gesturing casually with the mug as if explaining its features. 2-6s he dramatically snaps his free hand and taps the side of the mug—instantly, it transforms into gleaming, hyper-realistic solid gold, with liquid gold spreading down the sides and dripping heavily toward the floor. 6-8s the extreme sudden weight of the golden mug causes his arm to drop fast; he struggles dramatically to hold it up, his eyes going wide in genuine shock. 8-10s he heaves the heavy gold mug back up with both hands, laughing breathlessly at the camera and shaking his head. Trendy hip-hop beat + metallic clink sound effects + his clear English voice-over throughout. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
