   Vertical 9:16 frame. A giant three-headed inflatable dragon (images 1, 2 and 3): glossy cornflower-blue vinyl parade-balloon with visible seams and air valves, exactly three long necks from one round body, fierce stylized heads with swept-back horns, ear fins and spiky crests, white vinyl fangs, red mouths, navy hexagon scale print, pale blue belly with one big white round air valve on the FRONT of its round belly, small wings, coiled spiky tail. It has plopped down on top of a sunny 1980s miniature golf course, squashing a red-and-white fiberglass windmill obstacle flat under its belly, the windmill blades bent and still turning, one head biting a fiberglass palm tree, another head puffing harmless orange smoke over a turquoise water hazard, the third head roaring at the camera. Bright pastel golf balls bounce across the green carpet in the foreground, tiny putting-hole flags knocked sideways. Heroic low angle from the putting green, the dragon fills the upper two thirds of the frame. Exactly three heads, all visible. Shot like a 1980s prime-time action TV series, high production value: 35mm film, warm sun-bleached golden grade, soft highlight halation, light film grain, slightly lifted blacks, zoom lenses with snap zooms, heroic low angles, sunny exterior location, practical stunt look. No on-screen text. Original design only. No logos, no brand designs, no signs, no letters, no numbers, no people.

   24.75 credits · This is the exact prompt of the opening shot. 9 stills at 2.75 credits each. One redo: the first deflate still showed two heads, so the prompt asked for all three lying on the grass.

   The giant three-headed blue inflatable dragon in the image (same design, exactly three heads, glossy vinyl with seams) sits squashing the fiberglass windmill on the miniature golf course. Its left head bites the palm tree and shakes it, the right head puffs a big billowing cloud of harmless orange smoke, the middle head lunges toward the camera and roars, the whole vinyl body wobbles and bounces like a parade balloon, the bent windmill blades keep turning, colorful golf balls bounce and roll across the green toward the camera, palm fronds sway, the water ripples. Quick snap zoom in on the middle head. 1980s action TV look, warm golden light, film grain. Sound effects only, no music, no speech: vinyl squeaks, a rubbery roar, a smoke puff, golf balls clacking.
