THEY DROPPED AN ICE STATUE INTO LAVA 20,000 likes. 60 comments. A woman in a helicopter doorway steadies a carved ice figure, a full human form, then slides it out over an open lava channel. It lands, whitens, and goes up as a column of steam the choice of object is the entire design, and swapping it for anything else breaks the clip: → a plain block of ice in the same shot is physics. a carved figure is a body, and the eye refuses to unsee that → the melt therefore reads as something happening to someone rather than to a material → the face is the last part to go, which is where the camera holds, and that ordering is deliberate → the lava channel is filmed from directly above, so the figure falls into a line rather than onto a surface. it looks swallowed → and nothing explains why. no caption on screen, no setup, no reaction shot this is the difference between a physics demo and an image, and it is where generated video is currently sorting itself into two tiers the lower tier shows a material behaving correctly and hopes the behaviour is enough. it usually is not, because correct physics is now the baseline rather than the achievement the upper tier picks an object the viewer cannot look at neutrally, then lets ordinary physics happen to it. same render cost, entirely different result, and the decision is made before anything is generated worth adding what the caption is doing, because it is a separate trick. the text under this post has nothing to do with the video. it is lifted wholesale from an unrelated cartoon account, in Japanese, to borrow search terms if you want to test how much the object choice carries, run the same motion on two subjects. image-to-video off one still is the cheapest way to do it. @Picsart runs it from a phone ice melting is physics. a face melting is something you have to look away from
