ultra-realistic cinematic animation, extreme close-up of a woman’s face pressed gently against the side of a white dragon’s head. The camera remains still. The lighting is soft, diffused, highlighting every microtexture of her skin and the dragon’s pearlescent scales. Slowly, a transformation begins: the dragon’s scales start to shimmer and extend across her face, spreading seamlessly from his side onto hers like liquid light. The transition is fluid, organic her skin morphs into iridescent scales with silver-gold reflections, each one forming naturally as though growing from her pores. Her human eye glows faintly, then changes the pupil narrows into a golden dragon slit, glowing from within with power and awareness. The entire transformation happens within seconds, in one continuous shot, captured with incredible macro precision: ARRI ALEXA 65 IMAX, Zeiss Supreme Prime 150mm macro lens, f/1.3, 16K HDR, volumetric lighting, subsurface scattering, realistic iris refraction, ultra-detailed microtextures of skin and scales, Dolby Vision color grading. The reflection of the dragon’s eye flickers in hers as the camera gently refocuses, showing human and dragon as one. Atmosphere: mystical transformation, merging of souls, rebirth through light and scale.
