Sticker Peel

Model

Prompt

Real phone footage, vertical 9:16, 10 seconds, one continuous take from a completely static, locked-off camera at standing eye level, straight-on side view of a shopfront across a narrow sidewalk. The camera never pans, zooms, shakes or cuts.

FRAMING: the whole cafe front fills the frame from the signboard at the top to the cobblestones at the bottom. The man is shown full-body with clear headroom above his head and space below his shoes; he is never cropped.

SETTING: a small cafe with a white-painted timber shopfront. A plain white signboard with generic unreadable script lettering runs along the top. Below it, a large window shows a warm yellow-lit interior: shelves of pastries and jars, pendant lamps, and one staff member in dark clothes behind the counter. Under the window sit a row of white wooden planter boxes with green plants and a white slatted bench with a striped cushion. Grey cobblestone sidewalk in front. Overcast, soft, neutral daylight, no hard shadows, muted realistic colors.

THE MAN: young and slim, short bleached platinum hair, black sunglasses, a plain grey t-shirt with rolled sleeves, black leather gloves, a black woven shoulder bag with a small brown leather patch at his hip, baggy grey-and-white camouflage cargo shorts to the knee, white crew socks and chunky black platform loafers. He walks briskly from left to right in strict profile.

WHAT THE EFFECT IS: a practical-looking trick where the man turns out to be a giant vinyl sticker of himself stuck onto the real street, and a giant hand peels the sticker off. There are three things on screen during the peel, and they must all be visible at once: the untouched scene behind him (window, shelves, staff member, planters, bench, cobbles) showing through wherever the sticker has already been lifted; the part of the sticker that is still stuck down (the lower part of his body), flat, frozen and unchanged; and the part of the sticker that has already been lifted, which is a loose, thin, floppy sheet hanging from the fingertips below the peel edge, white backing toward the camera, his printed image faintly visible through it, folding and crumpling under its own weight. That hanging sheet is the peeled portion of him, so it grows at exactly the rate the peel advances: small as a coin at first, as big as his head after one second, as big as his torso by the midpoint, and as big as his whole body by the end, when it hangs in a big bunched heap near the ground.

THE HAND: a giant real woman's hand, light skin, long lime-green almond-shaped nails, many times bigger than the man. It enters from the top-right corner with thumb and index finger pinched together, grips the top edge of the sticker at the crown of his head, and then travels straight down his body at a slow, constant speed, always pinching the current peel edge, from head to shoulders to chest to hips to knees to shoes. Only the hand and a little wrist are visible.

TIMELINE: 0 to 0.8 s he walks normally. At 0.8 s he freezes mid-stride, one foot forward, one foot back, and becomes a flat printed sticker with a thin white cut-line border. At 1.0 s the hand pinches the crown of his head. By 2 s his head is peeled away and the window shows through where it was. By 3 s the peel edge is at mid-chest, the hanging sheet is head-and-shoulders sized. By 4.5 s the peel edge is at his hips, the sheet is torso-sized and droops over the top of his shorts, and the bench and planters are visible behind where his torso was. By 6.5 s the peel edge is at his knees and the sheet is bigger than what is left of him, sagging in soft folds over his lower legs. By 8 s only his two black shoes remain stuck down and the sheet, as big as the whole man, hangs bunched from the fingers near the ground. At 8.3 s the last corner at the shoes lifts and the whole sticker comes free in the pinched fingers at the bottom right, leaving the sidewalk, bench and planters completely empty and undisturbed. At 8.5 s the sticker snaps back flat in one instant, whole. From 8.6 s to 10 s he is a living person again and keeps walking briskly to the right as if nothing happened, while the giant hand lingers at the right edge of the frame with its fingers still pinched.

NEVER: his body never stretches, elongates, warps, bends or distorts; no part of him ever turns white or grey in place; he never fades, dissolves, shrinks or jumps position; the still-stuck part never moves; the hanging sheet never shrinks or vanishes before the snap-back; the camera never moves; no text or graphics.

Photoreal, crisp, natural street light, like a real in-camera trick shot. Playful and satisfying to watch.
