An outdoor public basketball court on a clear afternoon. Two children about ten years old play one-on-one near the middle of the court: one dribbles a worn orange basketball, the other reaches to block, both in plain T-shirts, shorts and sneakers. Two full-size hoops on steel poles stand at the far left and far right ends of the court, both fully in the frame. The camera stands at chest height at the sideline, sixteen metres away, looking straight across the court, wide symmetrical composition. Everything sits on the same flat ground with consistent perspective. Even soft daylight, faint shadows, deep focus with everything sharp. Real photograph. Single frame without graphic overlays.

Edit Image 1. Keep the exact same camera, perspective, framing, scale and position of everything that remains. Keep ONLY these things, unchanged, in their true colours: the two children, the basketball, and the two basketball hoops with their backboards, nets and steel poles. Replace absolutely everything else with pure flat solid black, RGB 0 0 0, filling the whole frame edge to edge: the sky, the court surface and its lines, the wall, the fence, the tree, the black bars at the top and bottom, the horizon and all shadows. The black is one single flat tone with no gradient, no haze, no glow, no texture and no noise. Remove the shadows cast by the children and the hoops. They end with clean edges against the black, as if the rest of the world never loaded. Do not move, redraw, add or restyle anything.

Image 1 is the start frame: two boys with an orange basketball and two basketball hoops, standing in a total black void. The boy in the white T-shirt is on the left with the ball. The boy in the dark T-shirt is on his right, defending. One hoop stands at the far left of the frame, one at the far right.

WORLD LAW for the whole clip: only these things exist: two boys, one ball, two hoops. Everything else stays pure flat solid black in every frame, even when the camera moves: an empty void like outer space without stars. The boys run and jump on nothing, the ball bounces off nothing, as if the rest of the world never loaded.

SPACE, fixed for the whole clip: the boy in white drives from LEFT to RIGHT and dunks on the hoop on the RIGHT side of the frame. The left hoop is never used.

One continuous handheld take, raw street-ball footage, no cuts. Real-time speed.

CAMERA FEEL for the whole clip: a real operator on foot holds the camera - alive, raw, imperfect, never still for a single moment. Constant micro-jitter, bumps and wobbles, a rocking, tilting horizon, quick reframes that overshoot and correct. Heavy, responsive handheld operation. Never smooth, never stabilised, never locked off - from the first frame to the last.

[0s-2s] Begin in Image 1. The operator sprints towards the boys: every step jolts the frame, the camera bobs and sways, the boys grow fast in the frame, the two hoops slide outwards to the edges of the frame and past them - this parallax shows the camera is travelling.
[2s-3.5s] He skids to a stop three metres from them, overshoots and drops to knee height. The boy in white pounds the ball hard, low to the ground, eyes on his opponent. The boy in the dark T-shirt crouches, arms wide, shuffling sideways. The camera sways with the operator's panting.
[3.5s-5s] The boy in white snaps a fast crossover, the ball whipping from one hand to the other between his legs, and throws a shoulder fake to the left. The defender bites and lunges the wrong way. The operator hurries in a quick arc around them, overshoots and catches them.
[5s-6s] The boy in white spins past the defender's shoulder, moving left to right. The defender stumbles and nearly falls. The boy in white explodes out towards the RIGHT of the frame at a full sprint, the ball slapping under his palm.
[6s-8s] The operator whips the camera to the right with motion blur, overshoots and runs after him, every step jolting the frame. The right hoop appears out of the black and grows fast in the frame.
[8s-9.5s] Two long strides, one hard push off the left foot: he flies up towards the rim, the ball held high in his right hand. The operator jerks the camera up after him, overshoots and corrects.
[9.5s-10.5s] He slams the ball down through the ring with a bang: the rim bends down, the net whips, the backboard shakes, and he hangs from the rim by one hand, his legs swinging. The frame jumps with the hit.
[10.5s-12s] He drops and lands hard. The ball bounces twice and rolls away into the black. The operator stumbles to a stop, panting, the frame swaying. The boy in white looks straight into the lens with no expression, chest heaving.

STYLE: raw handheld street-ball footage, real speed and real sweat, deep focus, no bokeh. The boys and hoops are lit evenly with plain neutral daylight in true colours. Real weight: a heavy leather ball, a steel rim that bends and springs back.

LOCK: two boys, one ball and two hoops exactly as in Image 1, nothing else in the frame. The background stays pure black in every frame. The drive and the dunk go left to right. The camera is handheld and moving in every single second. One take, no cuts. Real-time speed.

AUDIO: the operator's running steps and breathing, the ball pounding, sneakers squeaking, a hard bang of the rim, the net snapping, the backboard rattling, two last bounces fading into silence. No music, no dialogue.

PROHIBITED: no floor, no court, no ground, no painted lines, no walls, no sky, no horizon, no crowd, no extra people, no grey background, no haze, no glow, no static camera, no tripod, no locked-off shot, no smooth gimbal movement, no cuts, no slow motion, no on-screen text, no subtitles, no music.
