## Prompt

Copy the text below exactly into Workroom with Veo 3.1 selected to reproduce this result.

Cinematic surreal street scene in an old European city. A giant human hand enters the frame from above and holds a small person by the hood of their sweatshirt, suspending them in midair. The suspended person moves their legs quickly as if running through the air, struggling in place, with natural swinging body motion and slight arm movement. In the background, pedestrians calmly walk down the wet city street, completely unbothered, moving naturally under umbrellas and along the sidewalks. The contrast feels absurd and surreal, but visually realistic. Overcast daylight, wet stone pavement reflections, soft atmospheric depth, realistic body motion, smooth fabric movement, cinematic urban realism, ultra detailed, film look.
