Golden Cauldron

Prompt

Locked-off shot; the cauldron, its rim and its ring handles stay perfectly still and unchanged. The molten-gold liquid simmers slowly: fat bubbles swell on the surface, rise and pop one after another, each sending up a few small gold droplets that arc, glint and fall back in with tiny ripples. Fine gold sparks drift upward and fade. The steam curls and rolls slowly up from the rim and thins out before it reaches the middle of the frame. The glow from the liquid pulses very gently on the rim. The upper half of the frame stays dark, empty navy black throughout. Slow, even, continuous motion from the first frame to the last. No camera movement.
