Paint mixing, satisfying loop

Overhead macro of thick acrylic paint: a pool of deep teal with a stream of warm orange folding into it.

Duration: 6 seconds, designed to loop. Aspect ratio 1:1.

Camera: directly overhead, locked off, 100mm macro, f/4 so the whole surface stays sharp. The paint fills the frame edge to edge — no container rim visible.

Action: the orange folds in slowly, forming ribbons that stretch and curl. The motion is continuous and even, never speeding up. At the end of the clip the pattern should resemble its opening state closely enough to loop without a visible seam.

Light: broad soft light from directly above, slightly front, so the surface has a wet sheen without a hard reflection. No shadow from the camera.

Texture: thick and glossy, holding its own ridges. Small bubbles are fine and make it read as real paint.

Negative: no hands, no tools entering frame, no cuts, no colour beyond the two named, no text.
