Hyper-Realistic Macro: Slow Drip of Condensation on Ice-Cold Glass

{
  "prompt": "An extreme close-up, hyper-realistic, 4K video focused on a single bead of condensation forming and dripping down the side of a sweating pint glass filled with ice water. The shot is static and captured at a low angle. The scene is set on a weathered, sun-bleached wooden picnic table outdoors on a bright, hazy summer afternoon. Over the 8 seconds, the droplet slowly grows, distorting the view of the wood grain behind it, before gravity pulls it into a slow, viscous trickle down the curved glass, merging with another droplet below. The bright, high-angle sun refracts through the ice and water, casting complex, shimmering caustics on the table surface next to the glass. The depth of field is exceptionally shallow, with only the single droplet and a small patch of the glass surface in razor-sharp focus.",

    "subject": "Condensation on a glass of ice water.",
    "appearance": "The glass is a standard, clear pint glass with subtle manufacturing imperfections. It is filled with clear water and large, geometric ice cubes. The exterior is covered in a fine mist of condensation, with larger droplets forming.",
    "action": "A single water droplet swells and then slowly runs down the side of the glass, leaving a trail. Other droplets are static or growing slowly."
