Hippo Boat Split Charge

What This Prompt Does

0s–2s (HOOK — FIRST IMPACT) Camera already ON the boat mid-turn. A MASSIVE HIPPO slams THROUGH the side railing — not hitting — already halfway inside. Wood explodes inward. Its jaws snap right in front of camera. Boat jerks violently sideways. 2s–5s Camera gets thrown across deck — hits metal edge. Water floods in. The hippo keeps pushing forward, forcing its bulk into the boat. Floor cracks slightly down the middle. People lose footing — sliding, grabbing anything. 5s–8s (SCRAMRAMBLE — NO SAFETY) Camera tries to get up — footing gone. Boat now tilted. Someone climbs toward the engine — slips instantly. Camera turns — hippo is no longer where it was. That’s the problem. 8s–11s (SECOND ATTACK SETUP — NO BREATH) Half a second of unstable quiet. Just water sloshing. Then— Water beside the boat starts moving FAST in one direction. Tracking something. Camera barely reacts. 11s–14s (SECOND HIT — WORSE) HIPPO erupts from the opposite side — full body surge. Smashes into what’s left of the boat. Boat finally gives — structure collapses. Camera goes with it. Everything flips. 14s–15s (PAYOFF) Camera SLAMS into muddy water. Fully submerged. Brown chaos. No visibility. Cut.
