Create a 15-second video that looks like authentic 1890 hand-cranked black-and-white film, filmed by the person holding the camera themselves. **@avatar — THE PERSON.** Preserve their exact face, identity, facial structure, eyes, hair, age, build and proportions throughout. No identity drift, beautification, de-aging or restyling. Ignore the reference background. **WARDROBE:** Wet 1890 London clothing: dark heavy wool overcoat buttoned high, collarless shirt, worn leather boots, soft flat cap, canvas satchel. Damp hair. Outfit never changes. **STYLE:** Authentic early cinema, ~16fps, slightly fast and jerky movement, constant flicker, heavy film grain, dust, hairs, vertical scratches, soft vignette, occasional frame jumps, rain on lens and strong handheld shake. Bad framing is intentional — cropped heads, drifting subject and sudden camera movements. Absolutely no modern cinematic stabilization. **SETTING:** Narrow rainy London street, wet cobblestones, gas lamps, soot-stained brick, market stalls with dripping canvas awnings, horse-drawn carts and pedestrians with umbrellas. **00:00–00:04:** They run through heavy rain toward a market awning, laughing, holding the camera at arm's length as it swings wildly. They shake water from their cap. **00:04–00:08:** They hear something and swing the camera down, searching under a wooden crate. They find a tiny soaked grey-and-white kitten. They crouch down, face filling the frame at an awkward angle. **00:08–00:12:** They dry the kitten with their coat, then buy roasted chestnuts for themselves and a scrap of fish for the kitten. **00:12–00:15:** Sitting on a crate under the awning, they eat together as the rain eases. They laugh into the lens and shrug. The kitten rubs against their boot. The frame stutters, flares white and the film runs out. **AUDIO:** No dialogue, voiceover or music. Only rain, canvas, hooves, cart wheels, distant voices and one small mew. **AVOID:** text, intertitles, subtitles, logos, watermark, color, modern objects/clothing/vehicles/signage, stabilization, cinematic camera work, second person in close-up, face changes or costume changes.
