Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video: two face-down playing cards with red patterned backs lying side by side on a green cutting mat, a hand resting across them, a kraft note reading "Happy Anniversary" below. @image2 is the last frame of this video: the same mat, with the two cards now face up — the Ace of Hearts on the left holding the photo of PARTNER ONE and the Ace of Diamonds on the right holding the photo of PARTNER TWO — their edges touching, the same note below. Together they define the table, the cards, the photos, the hand, the light and the framing. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the photographs inside the two aces are exactly the photographs in @image2 and never change; the note always reads "Happy Anniversary". THE PAIR — this is the whole point of the film: one hand turns over the left card to reveal the first face, then turns over the right card to reveal the second face, and then nudges the two cards together until their edges touch, so the two faces lean towards each other — a pair. Summary: a top-down, one-take anniversary reveal on a craft table in which a hand turns over two playing cards to reveal two photographs and nudges them together into a pair. Timeline: 0–1s — The framing of @image1: two face-down cards side by side, the hand resting across them. 1–3s — The hand lifts the edge of the left card and turns it over flat onto the mat, face up: the Ace of Hearts with the photo of PARTNER ONE appears. 3–5s — The hand moves to the right card and turns it over the same way: the Ace of Diamonds with the photo of PARTNER TWO appears. 5–8s — With two fingers the hand nudges the right card gently to the left until its long edge touches the left card, and angles the two cards a little towards each other. 8–10s — The hand lifts away and leaves the frame; the pair and the note hold still exactly as in @image2. Notes: the hand is one natural human hand with five fingers. Each card turns over only once, flat and close to the mat, and after it is face up it never turns back. The card fronts show only the white border, the red "A" and the red pips around the photo window. The photos stay inside their windows and never move, change or animate. The note, the scissors and the offcuts never move. The camera is a still top-down phone shot for the whole film, one unbroken take with no cuts. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a close intimate mix — the soft snap of a card edge lifting, the light slap of a card landing on the mat, the dry whisper of a card being nudged across the mat, a faint room tone with distant birdsong through the window, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video. It shows an old newspaper called "THE BIRTHDAY TIMES" on a wooden table, with the headline "YOU'RE INVITED!" and a large black-and-white photo of THE PERSON on the front page. It defines the newspaper, the masthead, the headline, the photo, the table, the light and the framing of the opening shot. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached first frame outranks every word written below it. Wherever the image and this text disagree, follow the image. THE PERSON in the photo is exactly the person printed in @image1, with the same face, hair, clothes and background, for the whole film. THE LIVING PHOTO — this is the whole point of the film: the photo printed on the front page comes to life, like magic, while the rest of the newspaper stays ordinary paper. Inside its black border, still in black and white, THE PERSON in the photo blinks, their face lights up, they break into a big warm smile, lean slightly toward the viewer and give a cheerful wave, then point playfully at the headline above them. The printed paper around the photo, the headline and the masthead never move; only the picture inside the border is alive. Summary: a playful invitation film in one unbroken take in which the black-and-white photo on the front page of "THE BIRTHDAY TIMES" comes to life and the person in it smiles, waves and points at the headline "YOU'RE INVITED!". Timeline: 0–2s — The framing of @image1. The newspaper lies still; a soft breeze stirs the corner of the page. 2–4s — The photo on the front page begins to move: THE PERSON blinks and looks up into the lens, their face lighting up. 4–7s — THE PERSON breaks into a big warm smile and waves cheerfully at the viewer from inside the photo, the camera pushing in slowly toward the page. 7–10s — THE PERSON points up playfully at the headline "YOU'RE INVITED!" above the photo and laughs, as the camera settles with the headline and the living photo together in the frame. Notes: the newspaper, the masthead "THE BIRTHDAY TIMES", the headline "YOU'RE INVITED!", the grey columns of newsprint, the table and the light stay exactly as in @image1. Only the picture inside the black border moves, and it stays black and white. The camera moves as one slow continuous push-in with no cuts, and the film runs as one unbroken take. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a soft, warm mix — the gentle rustle of newspaper in a light breeze, a faint magical shimmer as the photo comes to life, a small happy laugh, the soft crinkle of the paper, and the quiet ambience of a sunny morning kitchen, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video. It shows THE PERSON sitting behind a small pink vintage birthday cake at a party at night, holding an unlit striped birthday candle between their lips like a cigar tilted steeply upward, its wick end high above, looking into the camera. It defines THE PERSON's identity, face, hair, clothing and jewellery, the cake, the candle, the room, the light and the framing of the opening shot. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached first frame outranks every word written below it. Wherever the image and this text disagree, follow the image. THE PERSON is exactly the person in @image1 for the whole film — the same face, hair, age, clothing and jewellery. THE BIT — this is the whole point of the film: a cheeky, stylish birthday moment. With the candle held like a cigar between their lips, THE PERSON waits coolly while a hand comes in from the side of the frame and lights the wick with a small lighter. Then THE PERSON takes the lit candle from their lips with two fingers and simply lowers it straight down, still upright with the flame on top, and pushes it into the top of the cake; then they lean in and blow it out in one breath, and break into a big delighted laugh. THE CANDLE NEVER TURNS OVER: from the first frame to the last, the candle keeps the same orientation — its plain base end is always the lower end and its wick end is always the upper end. The base end is the one between THE PERSON's lips, and it is the base end that goes down into the buttercream. The wick at the top is the only part that is ever lit, and the flame always stays at the top. The candle is never flipped, tilted downward or turned around. Summary: a playful birthday film in one unbroken take in which THE PERSON holds a birthday candle like a cigar, has it lit by a hand from the side, sets it into their pink vintage cake and blows it out, laughing. Timeline: 0–2s — The framing of @image1. THE PERSON holds the unlit candle between their lips like a cigar and gives the camera a cool, playful look. 2–4s — A hand enters from the right side of the frame holding a small lighter up high, and a small flame lights the wick at the upper end of the candle, well above THE PERSON's face; the hand leaves the frame. 4–6s — THE PERSON takes the lit candle from their lips between two fingers, like a cigar, straightens it fully upright and lowers it straight down, and pushes its base end — the end that was between their lips — into the centre of the top of the cake; the small flame stays at the top the whole time, glowing warmly. 6–8s — THE PERSON leans in over the cake and blows out the candle in one breath, a thin curl of smoke rising. 8–10s — THE PERSON sits back and breaks into a big delighted laugh, eyes bright, looking at the camera, the soft warm party light on their face. Notes: THE PERSON keeps exactly the face, hair, clothing and jewellery of @image1 throughout. The candle is one long slim pink-and-white striped birthday candle; the flame is always at its upper end and never near THE PERSON's face or hair. The cake stays whole and pink with its frills and bows. The same single hand with the lighter appears only once. The camera stays at table height with only a slow gentle push-in, with no cuts, and the film runs as one unbroken take. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a close lively mix — the click and soft flick of the lighter, the tiny crackle of the wick catching, a soft sink as the candle goes into the buttercream, a quick breath and a puff as it is blown out, a big warm laugh from THE PERSON, and the happy murmur of a small birthday party in the room behind, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is PARTNER ONE — the visitor's first chosen avatar. @image2 is PARTNER TWO — the visitor's second chosen avatar. They are the only two people in this film and they are a couple. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL FOR IDENTITY ONLY: wherever an attached image and this text disagree about a face, hair, skin tone, body or age, follow the image. For everything else — every place, every pose, the framing, the camera and the light — this text is final and the attached images carry no information at all: ignore their backgrounds, their framing and their lighting completely. IDENTITY LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY: in every shot, the first person is exactly @image1 and the second person is exactly @image2 — the same facial identity, facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, exact skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, hair length, texture and colour, freckles and marks, apparent age, build and body proportions, identical from shot to shot. Preserve each person's gender presentation exactly as shown; do not masculinize, feminize or otherwise reinterpret it. Do not beautify, slim, de-age or restyle them. The two are two different people and never share a face. No other people appear. WARDROBE: @image1 wears their own clothes exactly as in @image1; @image2 wears their own clothes exactly as in @image2. The same clothes in every shot. THE HOME VIDEO — this is the whole point of the film: the couple's years together, remembered as old home-camcorder footage. The whole film plays inside one small landscape window with softly rounded corners, floating on a pure black vertical screen. THE WINDOW IS FIXED: it is exactly 80 % of the frame's width and 45 % of the frame's height, its centre sits exactly at the middle of the frame (50 % across, 50 % down), and it never moves, grows, shrinks or changes shape from the first frame to the last. The window is a hard mask: the image exists only inside it; every person and every object is cropped cleanly by its rounded edges, and nothing — no head, no shoulder, no hand, no light — ever reaches past its edge onto the black. Inside the window everything looks like real 1990s camcorder tape: soft focus, warm faded colours, gentle tape grain, a slight shimmer, handheld and personal, as if one of them is filming the other. Summary: a nostalgic anniversary memory reel of four short home-video moments of the same couple, cut together inside a rounded window on black, ending on their hands. Timeline: 0–3s — Shot 1, a sunny park picnic: @image2, filming, points the camera at @image1, who laughs, covers the lens with a hand for a second and then pulls it away, grinning. 3–5s — HARD CUT. Shot 2, a car at dusk: @image1 at the wheel and @image2 in the passenger seat sing loudly to the radio together, streetlights sliding over their faces. 5–8s — HARD CUT. Shot 3, a small warm kitchen at night: the camera stands on the counter; @image1 and @image2 slow-dance barefoot between the counters, @image2's head on @image1's shoulder, turning slowly. 8–10s — HARD CUT. Shot 4, a close-up: their two hands resting together on a wooden table, fingers intertwined. Below the rounded window, on the black, the words "Happy Anniversary" appear in a small thin white handwritten script, spelled exactly like that, and stay to the last frame. Notes: the rounded window keeps exactly the same size and place in every shot, centred in the frame, and everything outside it stays pure, empty black in every frame, apart from the words of shot 4 — the people are always framed so they fit inside the window, cropped by its edges where needed. The only words in the film are "Happy Anniversary", only in shot 4, only on the black below the window. Each shot is one continuous handheld home-video take; the only cuts are the three hard cuts named above. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: the faint hiss and whir of an old camcorder under everything, warm laughter and birdsong in the park, both of them singing along off-key to a car radio playing faintly, the soft shuffle of bare feet and a quiet hum in the kitchen, and a gentle room tone on the hands to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video: a dark old movie-theatre lobby, a brass-framed poster case on a red velvet wall with every bulb around it unlit, the premiere poster inside in deep shadow. @image2 is the last frame of this video: the same poster case with every bulb around the frame glowing warm and the poster brightly lit, showing THE PHOTO above the title "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" and the line "PREMIERING TONIGHT". Together they define the lobby, the poster case, the bulbs, the poster, the photo, the lettering, the carpet and rope stands, and the framing. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached frames outrank every word written below them. Wherever the images and this text disagree, follow the images. THE PHOTO on the poster and its lettering are exactly as in @image2 and never change. THE PREMIERE — this is the whole point of the film: the lights come on for the premiere. With a soft electric click, the round bulbs around the brass frame switch on one by one, running in order around the frame starting at the bottom left corner, up the left side, across the top and down the right side, until the whole frame glows. As the last bulb lights, the poster case lights up from inside and THE PHOTO and the title "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" appear bright and sharp, the warm light spilling onto the velvet wall and the red carpet. Summary: a birthday premiere in one unbroken take in which the marquee bulbs around a theatre poster switch on one by one until the poster lights up, revealing the visitor's photo above the title "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". Timeline: 0–1s — The framing of @image1: the dark lobby, the poster in shadow, and the first bulb at the bottom left corner already clicking on. 1–6s — The bulbs switch on one by one in order around the frame, each with a soft click and a warm glow, the brass catching more light with every bulb. 6–7.5s — The last bulb lights and the poster case lights up from inside; THE PHOTO and "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" appear bright and sharp. 7.5–10s — As in @image2: the whole frame glowing, the poster fully lit, the camera gliding very slowly closer, a faint warm shimmer on the bulbs. Notes: once a bulb is on it stays on for the rest of the film and never flickers off. The poster, THE PHOTO and the lettering never move, change or animate — only the light on them changes. The only words are "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" and "PREMIERING TONIGHT" on the poster. No people are in the lobby. The camera is on a smooth slow push-in the whole time, and the film runs as one unbroken take with no cuts. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a soft electric click and a faint hum as each bulb switches on, rising into a warm steady buzz as the frame fills with light, a low deeper thunk as the poster case lights, and the distant murmur of an excited theatre crowd, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video: a clean arched mirror in a wooden frame against a pale wall, a printed photo tucked into its lower right corner, one hand holding a cupcake with a lit candle, and a second hand touching the tip of a berry-red lipstick to the clean glass. @image2 is the last frame of this video: the same mirror with the words "Happy Birthday" written across it in lipstick, the same printed photo in the corner, and the same hand holding the cupcake with its lit candle. Together they define the mirror, the wall, the photo, the hands, the light and the framing. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached frames outrank every word written below them. Wherever the images and this text disagree, follow the images. THE PHOTO tucked into the frame is exactly the photo in @image2, stays in the same corner and never changes. THE GREETING — this is the whole point of the film: the lipstick writes "Happy Birthday" on the glass by hand, letter by letter, in thick waxy berry-red strokes, "Happy" on the first line and then "Birthday" on the second, each letter appearing only where the tip of the lipstick has just passed. When the last letter is finished, the writing hand lifts away and leaves the frame, and the words stay on the glass exactly as in @image2, above the steady candle flame. Summary: a warm birthday greeting in one unbroken take in which a hand writes "Happy Birthday" in lipstick on a mirror while another hand holds up a cupcake with a lit candle beside the visitor's printed photo. Timeline: 0–1s — The framing of @image1: clean glass, the lipstick tip touching it, the candle flame steady. 1–4s — The lipstick writes "Happy" across the upper part of the glass, stroke by stroke. 4–7.5s — The lipstick writes "Birthday" on the line below, stroke by stroke. 7.5–10s — The writing hand lifts away and leaves the frame; the finished words, the candle flame and the printed photo hold still as in @image2, the flame flickering softly. Notes: the letters appear only under the moving lipstick tip and never appear anywhere by themselves; once written, a letter never moves, fades or changes. The only words ever on the glass are "Happy Birthday". The hand with the cupcake stays in the same place for the whole film and the candle stays lit and upright. The mirror shows only the blank wall, never a person, a camera or a phone. The camera is handheld and nearly still, and the film runs as one unbroken take with no cuts. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a close intimate mix — the soft waxy squeak of lipstick dragging across glass with every stroke, a tiny tap as the tip lifts between letters, the faint whisper of the candle flame, and a quiet room tone, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video: a large sealed burgundy envelope with a whole ivory wax seal on its flap, on dark velvet, with two hands on it. @image2 is the last frame of this video: the same hands holding up an ivory invitation card, smaller than the envelope, with THE PHOTO in a gold frame and the words "You're Invited", above the opened envelope, with the wax seal lying loose on the velvet beside it. Together they define the envelope, the card, the photo, the hands, the light and the framing. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached frames outrank every word written below them. Wherever the images and this text disagree, follow the images. THE PHOTO on the card is exactly the photo in @image2 and never changes. THE OPENING — this is the whole point of the film: the fingertips peel the whole wax seal off the flap in one piece with a soft crackle and set it down on the velvet to the left of the envelope, then lift the flap and slowly draw out the thick ivory invitation card, which is smaller than the envelope and slides out of it easily. As the card slides free, they lift it up and turn it toward the camera, revealing THE PHOTO in its gold-foil frame and "You're Invited" in gold script beneath it. Summary: an elegant invitation film in one unbroken take in which hands break the wax seal of a burgundy envelope and draw out an ivory card that shows the visitor's photo in a gold frame above the words "You're Invited". Timeline: 0–2s — The framing of @image1. The fingertips peel the whole wax seal off the flap and set it down on the velvet to the left of the envelope. 2–4s — The hands lift the flap and open the envelope, and the top edge of the ivory card appears inside. 4–7s — The hands slowly draw the card out of the envelope and lift it up toward the camera, the gold foil catching the candlelight. 7–10s — The card is held still facing the camera, as in @image2: THE PHOTO in its gold frame and "You're Invited" beneath, the candlelight flickering softly across the foil. Notes: the envelope, the velvet, the hands and the warm candlelight stay as in the two frames. Once the seal is off, it lies on the velvet beside the envelope for the rest of the film and never returns to the flap. The card is always smaller than the envelope. The only lettering is "You're Invited" on the card. The camera eases back slowly and continuously from the closer framing of @image1 to the wider framing of @image2, with no cuts, and the film runs as one unbroken take. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a close intimate mix — the soft crackle of the wax seal peeling away and a small tap as it is set down, the soft rasp of thick paper as the flap lifts, the smooth slide of the card out of the envelope, a faint rustle as it turns, and the quiet crackle of candles in a hushed room, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video. It shows a vintage Lambeth-style birthday cake on a silver turntable, piped in a palette and motifs of its own, with ribbon bows and "Happy Birthday" in piped script on the top. It defines the cake, every decoration, the colours, the lettering, the backdrop, the light and the framing of the opening shot. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached first frame outranks every word written below it. Wherever the image and this text disagree, follow the image. The cake keeps exactly the design, colours and lettering of @image1 for the whole film. THE REVEAL — this is the whole point of the film: the turntable turns slowly and smoothly, and the camera moves with it like a loving hand-held close-up, gliding in from the whole cake to extreme macro detail — skimming along the ruffled frills, over the piped pearls and swags, past the tiny piped motifs and the trailing satin ribbons as they sway gently with the turning — and then rising back up and out to settle on the whole cake from above, with "Happy Birthday" facing the lens. Summary: a cake reveal film in one unbroken take in which a vintage Lambeth-style birthday cake turns slowly on its turntable while the camera glides from the whole cake into macro details of its piping and bows, and back out to the lettering on its top. Timeline: 0–2s — The framing of @image1. The turntable begins to turn slowly, the ribbons swaying softly. 2–5s — The camera glides in close and low, skimming along the side of the turning cake in macro: the frills, the pearls, the tiny piped motifs, a satin bow drifting past the lens. 5–8s — The camera rises along the side to the top edge and travels over the shell border in close-up as the cake keeps turning. 8–10s — The camera pulls back and settles slightly above the whole cake as the turntable slows to a stop with "Happy Birthday" facing the lens, the ribbons swinging gently still. Notes: the cake keeps exactly its design, colours, ribbons and lettering from @image1 throughout, and the lettering reads "Happy Birthday" whenever it faces the camera. The light and the backdrop stay as in @image1. The camera moves as one smooth continuous glide with no cuts, and the film runs as one unbroken take. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a soft, calm mix — the faint smooth whir of the turntable, the gentle rustle of satin ribbons as they sway, a few soft room sounds of a quiet bright kitchen studio, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video: a dark room with one round spotlight on a plaster wall carrying the words "Happy Anniversary", PARTNER ONE on the left holding a small white cake with one candle whose wick is still dark, PARTNER TWO on the right holding a freshly struck match just beside it. PARTNER ONE is the person on the left of @image1 and PARTNER TWO is the person on the right of @image1. It defines the two people, their clothing, the cake, the wall, the light and the framing. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the two people are exactly the people in @image1 — the same faces, hair, skin and clothing — from the first frame to the last, and they never swap places. The words in the light always read "Happy Anniversary" and never move or change. THE ONE CANDLE — this is the whole point of the film: two people light one candle together, blow it out together, and end with their foreheads touching while their shadows on the wall become one. Summary: a quiet, cinematic one-take anniversary moment in a dark room under a single spotlight, in which a couple lights one candle on a small cake, blows it out together and leans into each other. Timeline: 0–1s — The framing of @image1: the match touches the wick and the candle catches, its small flame growing steady, both looking at it. 1–3s — PARTNER TWO draws the match back from the candle, lowers it and gently shakes it out; a thin thread of smoke rises from the match. The candle keeps burning with a small steady flame. 3–5s — Both look up from the candle at each other and smile; PARTNER ONE lifts the cake a little higher, between their faces, the candle flame lighting both of them warmly. 5–7s — They lean in together and blow out the candle at the same moment; the flame goes out and a soft curl of white smoke rises through the spotlight. 7–10s — PARTNER ONE lowers the cake; they laugh softly and rest their foreheads together, eyes closed. Behind them, their two shadows on the lit wall meet and merge into one. The camera has drifted slowly closer the whole time and ends on the two of them under the words in the light. Notes: the candle stays upright in the centre of the cake for the whole film; it catches in the first second and burns until it is blown out, only once. The cake stays in PARTNER ONE's hands. Every hand has five natural fingers. The spotlight never moves and the words stay inside it. The camera moves slowly and smoothly, one unbroken take with no cuts. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: the hush of a large empty room, the tiny crackle of the fresh wick, the soft whoosh of the match being shaken out, a shared gentle breath blowing out the candle, a warm soft laugh from both of them, and a low room tone to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video: a closed matte-black gift box with "Happy Birthday" in silver script on its front, its lid on top, two hands resting on the lid, in a bright living room between two tall columns of black and silver balloons. @image2 is the last frame of this video: the same box open, its lid lying on the floor beside it, a cloud of black and silver balloons risen out of it, and in the middle one big clear balloon with THE PHOTO printed on it. Together they define the box, the lettering, the balloons, the photo balloon, the room, the light and the framing. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached frames outrank every word written below them. Wherever the images and this text disagree, follow the images. THE PHOTO printed on the clear balloon is exactly the photo in @image2 and never changes. THE SURPRISE — this is the whole point of the film: the hands lift the lid straight up off the box and set it down on the floor to the right of the box, and the moment the box is open a cloud of glossy black and chrome-silver helium balloons floats up out of it, their silver ribbons unrolling from inside the box. The big clear balloon with THE PHOTO printed on its front rises last, from the middle of the cloud, turns gently to face the camera and settles right above the box as in @image2, bobbing softly on its ribbon. Summary: a birthday surprise in one unbroken take in which hands lift the lid of a black "Happy Birthday" box, a cloud of black and silver balloons floats up out of it, and a big clear balloon printed with the visitor's photo rises into the middle. Timeline: 0–2s — The framing of @image1. The hands grip the lid and lift it straight up off the closed box. 2–3.5s — The hands set the lid down on the floor to the right of the box and leave the frame; the first balloons push up out of the open box. 3.5–7s — The cloud of black and silver balloons floats up out of the box, ribbons trailing, and the big clear photo balloon rises from the middle of the cloud. 7–10s — The photo balloon turns to face the camera and settles above the box as in @image2, bobbing gently, THE PHOTO clear and sharp. Notes: the box stays in the same place on the floor for the whole film and its "Happy Birthday" lettering never changes. The balloons come only out of the box and rise slowly and softly upward; none of them pops. THE PHOTO is a flat print on the balloon's surface and never becomes a person inside the balloon. The two tall balloon columns at the sides stay still on their weights. The camera stays at chest height and eases gently to the framing of @image2, and the film runs as one unbroken take with no cuts. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: the soft scrape of the cardboard lid lifting off, a light tap as it is set on the tiled floor, the rubbery squeak and soft bump of balloons brushing past each other as they float up, the whisper of unrolling ribbons, and a quiet bright room tone, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video: a completely closed cream greeting card standing on a pale pink table, folded like a closed book with its fold on the LEFT side, held at its edges by two hands. @image2 is the last frame of this video: the same card opened sideways like a book, its vertical fold in the middle, with a colourful paper pop-up party scene — paper balloons, a flag garland, paper stars and a flat cut-out paper figure of THE PERSON — and the words "You're Invited!" printed inside. Together they define the card, the pop-up scene, the paper figure, the lettering, the hands, the light and the framing. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached frames outrank every word written below them. Wherever the images and this text disagree, follow the images. The paper figure keeps exactly the face, hair and clothing it has in @image2 for the whole film. THE POP-UP — this is the whole point of the film: the card starts fully shut. The card opens sideways like a book: its fold is the vertical crease on the LEFT side, and the right hand swings the front cover open to the LEFT around that fold in one smooth, continuous movement, until the two halves stand open on the table like an open book with the fold in the middle, exactly as in @image2; it never opens upward or downward and never folds back shut — and as it opens, the whole paper scene springs up out of the fold in layers: the balloons lift and bob on their paper strings, the flag garland pulls taut across the top, the little paper stars flip up, and the paper figure of THE PERSON rises upright in the centre. Then, as if by magic, the paper figure comes alive like a paper puppet: its one paper arm swings up at the shoulder on a tiny paper hinge and waves at the viewer, then settles back down to its side. THE PAPER FIGURE NEVER CHANGES SHAPE: it stays exactly the size and outline it has in @image2 — cut off above the knees, flat as a single sheet of card, with a thin white paper border around its edge. It never grows legs or feet, never becomes rounded or three-dimensional, never becomes a real person, and never grows taller. Only its waving paper arm moves on the hinge. Summary: a playful pop-up invitation film in one unbroken take in which hands open a closed card, a paper party scene springs up out of it, and the paper cut-out of the visitor waves under the words "You're Invited!". Timeline: 0–1s — The framing of @image1: the card is completely closed, the hands holding its edges. 1–4s — The front cover swings open to the left around the vertical fold, like the cover of a book, and the pop-up scene springs up in layers — balloons lifting, the garland pulling taut, stars flipping up, the paper figure rising upright — while "You're Invited!" comes into view. 4–8s — The flat paper figure of THE PERSON swings its paper arm up on its hinge and waves at the viewer, while the paper balloons bob gently. 8–10s — The paper arm settles back down, the scene comes to rest, and the film arrives at the framing of @image2. Notes: everything is made of paper and card and moves the way paper moves — folding, springing, bobbing. The card opens once and never closes again. The paper figure stays a flat paper cut-out. The lettering reads "You're Invited!" whenever it is visible. The same two hands appear throughout. The camera stays still at card height with no cuts, and the film runs as one unbroken take. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a crisp, playful mix — the stiff creak of the card opening, the lively snap and flutter of paper layers springing up, the tiny tick of the paper hinge as the arm waves, and a cheerful quiet room ambience, to the last frame.
Asset referencing: @image1 is the first frame of this video: a birthday cake whose top is covered by a white wafer sheet reading "Happy Birthday", with a lighter flame touching its edge. @image2 is the last frame of this video: the same cake with the sheet burned away, showing THE PHOTO printed on the cake top. Together they define the cake, the photo, the light and the framing. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached frames outrank every word written below them. Wherever the images and this text disagree, follow the images. THE PHOTO on the cake top is exactly the photo in @image2, and it never changes. THE BURN — this is the whole point of the film: the wafer sheet catches at the edge where the flame touches it, and a thin glowing orange line of fire creeps slowly inward across the sheet from that edge, like paper burning, the burnt edge curling up and turning to fine black and grey ash that crumbles and falls away. Wherever the burning line has passed, the sheet is gone and THE PHOTO underneath is revealed, bright and untouched. The burning line travels slowly and evenly across the whole top, crossing the "Happy Birthday" lettering, until the last of the sheet is gone and THE PHOTO fills the top of the cake. Summary: a birthday burn-away cake film in one unbroken take in which a lighter sets the edge of a "Happy Birthday" wafer sheet alight and the glowing burn line slowly eats across it, revealing the photo printed on the cake beneath. Timeline: 0–2s — The framing of @image1. The flame touches the edge of the sheet, a small bright glow catches, and the hand draws the lighter away out of frame. 2–5s — A glowing orange line of fire spreads slowly inward from the edge, the burnt rim curling and crumbling into ash, and the first part of THE PHOTO appears behind it. 5–8s — The burning line crosses the "Happy Birthday" lettering and sweeps on across the rest of the top, more and more of THE PHOTO revealed, the camera pushing in slowly. 8–10s — The last glowing edge dies out, and THE PHOTO lies fully revealed on the top of the cake, clean and calm, as in @image2. Notes: the cake, the rosette border, the stand, the fairy-light bokeh and the warm light stay exactly as in the two frames. The fire stays small, gentle and contained on the wafer sheet; the buttercream never burns. The camera moves as one slow continuous push-in with no cuts, and the film runs as one unbroken take. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds: a close intimate mix — the soft flick of the lighter, a faint whoosh as the edge catches, the fine dry crackling and soft hiss of thin paper burning, tiny crisp ticks as ash crumbles, and the warm murmur of a quiet birthday party in the room behind, to the last frame.
Subjects: @image_2 stays in the basket, @image_3 jumps, @image_1 is the parachute canopy. @image_2 and @image_3 define face and hair only - the clothing, pose and background of @image_2 and of @image_3 are ignored. The lettering of @image_1 comes entirely from @image_1. Wardrobe lock: plain unbranded layered outdoor clothing in muted natural colours, from this text and not from @image_2 or @image_3, with no visible logos or printed words. @image_3 also wears a parachute harness and pack from the first shot. Style: photorealistic cinematic romance at golden hour, a colourful hot-air balloon high above a mountainous valley, believable parachute physics. HD, natural colors. Every spoken line is in English. Shot 1: Medium shot inside the basket. @image_3 takes @image_2's hand and watches @image_2 instead of the view. @image_2 asks in English {What?}. <high-altitude wind, wicker creaking> (sparse strings) Shot 2: @image_3 tightens the harness buckle and steps onto the basket edge. @image_2 grabs the arm of @image_3 and asks in English {What are you doing?}. <buckles clicking, nervous breathing> Shot 3: A steep downward angle from the edge. @image_3 drops into the sky and shrinks against the valley while @image_2 grips the wicker and screams in English {No! Come back!}. <rushing air, a desperate shout> (the music almost disappears) Shot 4: One continuous aerial tracking shot beside @image_3 in free fall, no cuts. @image_3 pulls the deployment handle and the pack opens. <heavy rushing air, the pack opening> Shot 5: @image_1 inflates directly above @image_3, slows the descent and turns until the lettering faces the camera, staying far below the balloon. @image_2 laughs through the tears and shouts in English {YES! YES!}. Ends wide: the balloon in the golden sky, @image_3 far below under @image_1. <@image_1 inflating, laughing and crying> (strings rise) Continuity: @image_1 is attached only to the harness of @image_3 and never touches the balloon; @image_2 stays in the basket. Faces of @image_2 and @image_3 stay exactly as in @image_2 and @image_3. Constraints: subtitle-free, no text except the lettering on @image_1, no logo, no watermark, no duplicate characters.
