Harbor Mech Siege — Port Crane Battle

10-second disaster-scale mech short, 16:9, 35mm anamorphic. Night in a storm-lit container port: a yellow dockworker mech defends a container ship against a black pirate mech — gantry cranes collapsing around them.

0-3s: Storm night. Lightning forks over black water; gantry cranes sway on their rails; a container ship groans at berth, mooring lines snapping taut. The dockworker mech — industrial yellow, cargo claw for a right hand, floodlights on its shoulders — plants itself between the ship and the pirate mech: matte black, lean, a plasma cutter hissing blue-white in its grip. They circle among the container stacks, rain sheeting.

3-7s: The fight. The pirate mech slashes with the plasma cutter — the dockworker catches the cutter arm in its cargo claw and crushes it, the cutter sputtering out in a shower of blue sparks. The pirate mech staggers back into a gantry crane's leg and tears it free in a scream of steel — the crane topples in slow collapse, its boom sweeping down across the dock, containers bursting open like spilled toys, the crash throwing up a wall of spray and sparks. The dockworker mech shields the ship with its own hull as debris rains.

7-10s: High crane shot. The camera rises past a still-standing crane to the wide: the two mechs squared off in the wreckage, the ship safe at berth, lightning strobing the whole port white, the fallen crane's silhouette across the dock.

Craft: the dockworker in industrial yellow with hazard stripes, hydraulic claw, shoulder floods; the pirate in matte black with a hissing plasma cutter; the port dense with containers, cranes, the ship's hull towering. Camera: low dock-level shots dwarfed by the machines, the high crane shot for the collapse, anamorphic with rain-streaked flare. Lighting: storm strobes, orange dock floods, plasma blue-white, lightning as the master key. Atmosphere: massive, stormy, desperate. Style: disaster-scale realism, collapsing-steel spectacle, storm grade, photorealistic, 24fps.
