Turning metal effect

A mirror chrome figure crosses a wide car park reflecting the cars as it walks. a wide shot of an open concrete car park in late afternoon light, a walking figure is polished chrome from head to foot and the parked cars, the painted lines and the low sun slide across the body as curved reflections with every step, the walk and posture completely natural, the parked cars and the ground staying ordinary painted metal and concrete, camera tracking level alongside the walk

Metal pours down a wide stairway and sets into a hard reflective sheet. a wide shot of a broad concrete stairway, bright liquid metal pours from the top step and runs down over each tread with a moving edge, then slows and sets into a hard reflective sheet that mirrors the handrail and the sky above, one step at the bottom left as bare grey concrete for comparison, the light unchanged throughout, locked wide camera

Liquid metal runs over a hand, then sets into a hard reflective shell. a close vertical shot of an open hand held out over a dark workbench, bright liquid metal runs across the palm and down each finger with a moving meniscus at its edge, then loses its flow and sets into a hard reflective shell that holds the exact shape of the hand, the wrist above it staying normal skin, a single overhead lamp drawing a sharp moving highlight along the setting metal, locked camera

A wooden guitar becomes brushed steel while the hands playing it stay skin. a close vertical shot of hands playing a plain unbranded acoustic guitar, the wood of the body and neck turns to brushed steel from the base upward with grain lines following the curve and the sound hole rim going bright and sharp, the strings ringing visibly, the hands and forearms above staying normal skin, the room light picking out a soft band along the new metal, locked camera

A standing person turns to mirror chrome starting at the fingers. a person stands in a plain room with one window, polished chrome spreads from the fingertips up both arms and across the chest and face until the whole body is a mirror surface that reflects the window, the floor and the far wall in a curved distorted way, the highlight rolling across the chest as they breathe, the clothes taking the same chrome finish with their creases intact, the room itself unchanged, slow push in

A face becomes old dark metal with pits and patina instead of bright chrome. a close vertical shot of a face in low side light, the skin turns to aged dark metal with shallow pits, a dull green patina in the hollows and worn bright edges along the cheekbone and brow where it has been rubbed smooth, the eyes still moving inside the metal face, the hair above staying normal, the dark background unchanged, slow push in to a tight portrait

A single wooden chair becomes brushed steel while the rest stay timber. a wide shot of a woodworking shop with five plain timber chairs in a row on a sawdust floor, the second chair turns to matte brushed steel with grain lines along each leg and a soft broad highlight along the seat edge, the other four staying visibly wooden with grain, knots and sawdust on them, the bench and the shuttered window unchanged, locked wide camera

A seated figure becomes matte brushed steel with fine grain lines. a close vertical shot of a person seated in soft window light, the skin and shirt from the collar down turn to matte brushed steel with visible fine grain lines running across the surface and a soft broad highlight instead of a sharp reflection, the face above the collar staying normal skin with a clear boundary at the jaw, the chair and the wall behind unchanged, locked camera

A standing figure becomes dark pitted metal in a wide empty square. a wide shot of an empty paved square at dusk, a standing person turns from ordinary clothes and skin into aged dark metal with pits, green patina in the folds and worn bright highlights on the shoulders and knuckles, holding the pose as the change completes, pigeons walking past on the paving unaffected, the sky and the paving unchanged, locked wide camera

One person in a line of three is mirror chrome while the others stay ordinary. a close vertical shot of three people standing in a line at a bus stop in flat daylight, the middle one is polished chrome from head to foot with the shelter, the kerb and the sky visible as curved reflections across the body, the two either side completely ordinary with skin, fabric and hair unchanged, all three shifting weight naturally so the reflections move only on the chrome one, locked camera
