The Dragon Under Times Square

Vertical 9:16 fantasy short designed for TikTok and YouTube Shorts. At midnight in Times Square, a tiny golden dragon emerges from a subway vent, rapidly growing until it coils around neon billboards without damaging them. Start with a low handheld macro shot of glowing claws, then whip-pan upward into a dramatic wide angle as crowds film on their phones. Use a 24mm lens, fast push-in, realistic reflections, misty blue street light, pulsing magenta signs, and cinematic volumetric smoke. Give the dragon translucent amber wings, expressive eyes, and shimmering scales. End on a creator-style freeze frame with text: “Would you follow it underground?”
