## Prompt

```text
A horizontal split-screen cinematic shot of {scene}, seamlessly blending two different eras: {first_era} on the left and {second_era} on the right (default: about 100 years ago vs. present day). On the left side: show era-appropriate architecture, interior or environment design, materials, vehicles, and props that clearly belong to that historical period. People wear authentic clothing from the era, including hairstyles, accessories, and typical items in their hands. The overall mood feels nostalgic and historically accurate. On the right side: show the same scene in the modern era, with updated architecture or renovated structures, contemporary materials (glass, steel, LED screens, modern furniture), modern vehicles or equipment, and current technology. People wear contemporary fashion that matches today’s style in this setting. In the center: the two eras merge and overlap organically, without a hard dividing line. Elements from both eras visually interact: people from different times look at each other, walk through each other’s space, or seem surprised by the other era’s technology and objects. Architecture and environment smoothly morph from old to new. Make sure the scene is not just a simple left/right comparison but a dynamic time-travel interaction. Photorealistic, 8k resolution, cinematic lighting, wide angle, highly detailed textures, rich sense of time-travel storytelling. Aspect Ratio: 4:3
