A 10-second cinematic action-comedy short, in the style of a 1990s Hong Kong action-comedy film, set on a New York street in daytime, with a touch of film grain and retro Hong Kong cinema color grading. 0-2s: A busy New York street; a man of Black Western appearance in a casual jacket glances back over his shoulder as he moves through the crowd, with a group of men in black suits chasing him from behind. Handheld tracking shot, tense but comedic pacing. 2-6s: While fleeing, the man nimbly uses street obstacles to his advantage — using a street sign for leverage to spin and dodge an attack, causing his pursuers to collide into one another. The movement is fluid, light, and humorous, like a carefully choreographed live-action action sequence, with no blood or graphic violence. 6-8s: The man runs up to a brick wall and finds there is no way out. He quickly pulls a piece of white chalk from his pocket and rapidly draws the outline of a round black hole on the wall — the chalk lines are clearly visible, and the hole looks like a hand-drawn 2D doodle, with a touch of absurd, fantastical comedy. 8-10s: Without hesitation, the man leaps straight into the chalk-drawn hole, his body vanishing as if passing through the real wall. The suited men skid to a halt in front of the wall and reach out to touch the flat chalk-drawn hole, only to discover it is just a flat wall surface — their expressions are shocked, confused, and comical. The camera pushes in on their astonished faces and the chalk hole on the wall, holding on the absurd comedic atmosphere. Visual style: 1990s Hong Kong action-comedy, New York street live-action texture, fast-paced editing, wide-angle lens, handheld cinematography, natural daylight, retro film grain, lighthearted and humorous, clean and crisp action choreography. Character requirements: the lead is an original Black Western male character who does not resemble any real actor — do not reference the likeness of any celebrity; the suited men are generic pursuers. Negative prompts: no blood, no realistic injury, no firearms, no modern sci-fi feel, no superhero effects, no fully cartoon/animated style, no blurred faces, no text watermarks.

✍️ Editor’s Notes

A chase scene paying homage to '90s Hong Kong comedy, with a four-act structure hiding a visual gag — a chalk-drawn hole turning real and then flattening back into a wall — building the comedy off the contrast between a 2D hand-drawn doodle and the reveal that it's just a flat surface. The character setup deliberately adds a line saying it shouldn't resemble any real actor and shouldn't reference any celebrity's likeness — a compliance safeguard for an original character, keeping the model from mapping a Hong Kong-cinema stock face onto a specific celebrity. The negatives also deliberately steer clear of violence, a sharp contrast against the bloody fight-scene prompts elsewhere in this batch.
