Desert heat shimmer

The prompt

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in blazing midday heat: bleached sunlight, heat haze rippling off the pavement, hard short shadows and a dusty, warm palette. A city street at midday. A young man in a dark wool coat walks along the sidewalk past shop windows toward a small corner café. Wide shot, the camera tracking sideways beside him at walking pace from the first second. 0–2s: he walks past a row of shop windows. 2–4s: he passes a flower stall and a parked bicycle. 4–6s: he reaches the café and the camera eases to a stop as he does. 6–8s: he opens the café door and steps inside. Throughout: the heat haze keeps rippling off the pavement in bleached sunlight, one continuous take.
