Young magic effect

A band of light crosses a room and changes the ages of each figure it passes. a wide shot of three fictional adults seated along one side of a long plain table, a band of warm light travels from the left end of the room to the right and as it passes each person their hair darkens and their skin smooths, so mid clip the figure on the left is young, the one in the middle is mid change and the one on the right is still aged, the room unchanged, locked wide camera

A wide mirrored wall reflects a young version of the older person in front of it. a wide shot of a bare dance studio with a mirrored wall, an older fictional adult stands in front of it and the full length reflection is the same person decades younger in the same clothes and the same stance, the reflection matching every movement while the body itself stays visibly aged, the floor, barre and lights unchanged, locked wide camera

A pair of aged hands loses its lines while the arms above stay old. a close vertical shot of two aged hands resting on a dark table, the skin on the backs of the hands smooths out and the raised veins, spots and loose folds fade until they are the hands of a young adult, the forearms above the wrists staying visibly aged with the same spots and texture so the boundary is obvious, the table and the side light unchanged, slow push in

One hand in a clasped pair is young while the other stays aged. a close vertical shot of two clasped hands belonging to two different fictional adults against a plain pale background, the hand on the left changes from aged skin with spots and prominent veins to smooth young skin over five seconds, the hand on the right staying fully aged and unchanged the whole time, both hands holding the same grip so the difference is side by side, locked camera

A bright band crosses a face and leaves smoother skin and darker hair behind. a close vertical shot of an older fictional adult facing camera in a plain room, a narrow band of warm light sweeps slowly down from the hairline to the chin, and everything behind the band is visibly younger with smoother skin, fewer lines around the eyes and grey hair turned dark, the part of the face ahead of the band still fully aged so both ages sit in one frame at once, locked camera

Falling points of light land on a seated figure and leave youth where they touch. a close vertical shot of an older fictional adult seated in a dim room, small bright motes drift down through frame and each one that lands on the face or shoulders leaves a small patch of younger, smoother skin that spreads outward and joins the next, the grey in the hair retreating from the temples as the motes gather there, the chair and the room unchanged, locked camera

A wide path shot where a stooped walker straightens and the stick drops away. a wide shot of a long gravel path between hedges, an older fictional adult walks away from camera leaning on a stick, a band of light passes over them and the stoop lifts, the stride lengthens and the hair darkens until the stick is carried loosely and then set down on the path as they walk on, the hedges and the flat light unchanged, locked wide camera

Someone leans toward a mirror and the reflection is decades younger than them. a close vertical shot of an older fictional adult leaning toward a plain bathroom mirror, the reflection in the glass changes to the same person decades younger with dark hair and smooth skin while the body in front of the mirror stays visibly aged, the reflection copying every small movement of the head exactly, the tiles and the overhead light unchanged, locked camera at mirror height

Drifting motes move through a wide garden and leave youth where they settle. a wide shot of a small walled garden in late light, a drift of small bright motes crosses the frame and settles on an older fictional adult sitting on a low wall, each patch they touch becoming younger skin until the whole figure is a young adult sitting in the same pose, the wall, the planting and the light unchanged, camera slowly pushing in from wide

A stooped figure stands taller as the light passes and the hair darkens. a close vertical shot of an older fictional adult standing slightly stooped with a walking stick in a plain hallway, a band of warm light rises from the floor and as it passes the spine straightens, the shoulders drop back, the hair darkens and the grip on the stick loosens until the stick is held away from the ground, the hallway and its light unchanged, slow tilt up with the band
