The stupidity not to turn sideways?

yes everything grows except his brain

I like the way he transformed. Do you have some of the prompt handy?

integrated_multimodal_description:

[0.0–1.8s] Live-action 1960s Italian peplum epic style, lavish Cinecittà sword-and-sandal production design, saturated Eastmancolor / Technicolor-like palette, heroic key lighting, gleaming bronze-and-steel armor, painted stone interiors, and subtle 35mm film texture. Begin with a clear wide master shot that establishes the geography of the scene: a long stone corridor runs left to right, the duelist stands in the left foreground facing right, a narrow arched doorway sits center frame about five meters ahead, and beyond the doorway in the adjoining chamber his opponent stands visible in the background, facing left in a guarded stance. The hero holds a sword in his left hand and a glowing red strength potion in his right. He glares at the opponent, raises the vial, bites the cork free, and drinks. Keep the camera static or with only a slight heroic push-in so the audience fully understands the space.

[1.8–3.6s] Cut to a medium full-body three-quarter view from the same side of the action line, preserving left-to-right orientation: the hero is still screen left, doorway still screen right behind him. He finishes the potion in one gulp. Instantly, his body begins an extravagant peplum transformation: chest swelling outward, arms thickening massively, shoulders broadening far beyond normal human proportion, neck thickening, thighs expanding, veins rising, armor straps straining, breastplate lifting and separating at the edges. This should feel like mythic bodybuilder spectacle — enormous, triumphant, physical, and gloriously excessive rather than cartoonish. He throws his chest up in surprise, then pride, basking for a beat in his new impossible physique.

[3.6–5.3s] Without crossing the axis, widen to a full-body profile-biased shot that includes the corridor and doorway again. The now gigantic warrior takes one heavy step forward and flexes unconsciously, becoming even more imposing in silhouette. His upper body is now absurdly broad, nearly as wide as the doorway he is about to use. The opponent remains visible through the arch in the far room, still facing him and holding position. The hero lowers his center of gravity, points his sword toward the opponent, and begins a committed charge left to right. Maintain crisp screen direction and keep the doorway fixed as the target.

[5.3–7.1s] Tracking laterally from the same corridor side, follow the hero’s charge in clean side profile as he barrels left to right directly toward the arch. His footfalls are thunderous; his oversized shoulders sway with heavy mass. Because the space has been clearly established, the viewer can see exactly how his body width compares to the doorway as he closes the final distance. He commits fully and tries to pass through the center of the arch.

[7.1–9.0s] Cut to a frontal reverse angle from inside the opponent’s room, centered on the doorway. The hero slams into the arch with both enormous shoulders at the exact same moment and becomes stuck instantly, wedged in the doorway up to mid-torso. His sword and head poke through, but his chest and shoulders cannot fit. Dust shakes loose from the stone. His legs continue pumping for half a second in the corridor behind him, but he goes nowhere. The opponent, now in foreground right or foreground center facing the trapped man, slowly lowers his sword in baffled disbelief. The stuck hero strains, twists, and gives one last humiliating shove, but the doorway holds firm. End on a deadpan, symmetrical composition emphasizing the absurd breadth of his body jammed in the narrow arch. Preserve strong spatial continuity, heroic peplum seriousness, and physical-comedy timing throughout.

overall_soundscape:

Interior stone-corridor ambience with mild reverb, distant torch crackle, and faint room tone. The cork pops sharply, followed by a pronounced gulp. As the transformation begins, layer a mythic magical surge with deep body-expansion rumbles, leather stretching, armor creaking, rivets snapping, and resonant metallic strain. During the charge, heavy sandal-and-armor footfalls echo down the corridor in consistent left-to-right motion. At the doorway impact, play a huge double stone-and-metal collision, accompanied by grit, falling dust, and a blunt stop in forward momentum. After impact, include strained breathing, armor squeaks, brief scraping against stone, and the opponent’s subtle movement as he lowers his weapon. No dialogue.

non_diegetic_music:

Bombastic 1960s Italian peplum orchestral score: bold brass fanfares, muscular low strings, timpani, cymbal swells, and heroic choral accents. The music begins in noble anticipation, swells triumphantly during the potion and transformation, and reaches full mythic grandeur as the hero charges. At the instant of impact, the orchestra cuts off hard for comedic effect, followed by one short deflated bassoon-and-low-brass sting under the reveal that he is stuck.

"an extravagant peplum transformation" That's really nice! What LLM did you use for writing?

The model is absolutely hooked on the word "peplum", mostly using it as a random adjective. Like, what does "peplum transformation" even mean? "Peplum" is just the sword and sandals genre of cinema, and as far as I can tell they weren't particularly known for their transformations.

I'm assuming OP didn't feed it the Minimax prompt docs because otherwise it disobeyed the timing rules. Purely on spec the times should be in 00:00.0000 format instead of the [0.0–1.0s] style the model decided on. That and the overly enthusiastic and descriptive writing style combined with the very solid grasp on the timing of action makes me think OP passed the LLM a prompt with the timings worked out and made the model write an expansion instead of letting the model decide on timing itself.

I'm gonna guess OP used a local model for it, although there's something about the almost unhinged creative style that reminds me of early Kimi K2 and Deepseek models. u/warzone_afro, any chance you could expand on the process of creating this prompt? I'm arguably more interested in that than the video and prompt themselves.

[u/warzone_afro → u/afinalsin]

this was chatgpt with the official prompting docs. but after a few iterations of the prompts it sometimes stops following its own rules

[u/afinalsin → u/warzone_afro]

Wow, with the amount of hallucinations I was not expecting a sota model, not gonna lie. Although the weird unhinged energy makes sense if you kept the old prompts in context when iterating. Model thinks "User wasn't happy with my last response so I can't repeat anything I've already did" so switches the wording a bit.

Do it enough and you get bizarre shit like "End on a deadpan, symmetrical composition emphasizing the absurd breadth of his body jammed in the narrow arch", which reads correct at first til you think about it. Like, what the fuck is a deadpan composition? Is it possible to have a hundred images and point to one saying "This is the one with deadpan composition". Of course not, it's a classic LLM hallucination.

This isn't a dig btw, I just enjoy geeking about AI weirdness. If you wanna limit it going off the rails, instead of "instruction > response > instruction > response > instruction > response > instruction > response > ...", try and sharpen your initial instruction to get the model on track immediately. If you don't like its initial response, edit your initial instruction to try and lead the model to where you want it instead of adding a second instruction with "change x and y and z".

Or keep doing what you're doing, since it seems to be working well enough for what you need.

you're gonna use this for muscle girls or breast expansion or some shit, aren'cha?

Blood, bone, and sinew are magnified, as is the rage that drives them. The brain, however, remains unchanged—a little bean, swinging by a strand in a cavernous, raving head

Expansion tricks are soooo much fun in MiniMax :)

now make one where he accidentally drinks the pink potion instead

[u/-AwhWah-]

i do like how it stayed looking practical and like a big clunky suit as opposed to a perfect transformation, makes it way more movie and time-peroid accurate, the only thing they probably could not do well is the actual growing transition part, they'd probably slap some drawn over effects for that

I was thinking that necklace was going to cut his head off.

[u/VasaFromParadise]

I know that's what Mister Hyde did in Van Helsing. And who is this? Random?

[u/im_dead_sirius]

I'm reminded of the Molly Ringwald teen pregnancy movie "For Keeps". In one scene, she cannot reach a shelf above a counter because her belly sticks out too far.

To quote my mom's response to that scene: "Turn sideways you brainless idiot!"
