VERTICAL 9:16 from frame 0. 30 seconds. Photoreal cinematic comedy. Never open on a studio still or either attached photo as frame 0. No on-screen captions, logos, watermarks, or end cards except the two calendar shots described below. @image1 is the person. Photocopy their face, facial structure, eye shape, skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, hair length, texture and colour, apparent age, build and body proportions, makeup, and clothes exactly as shown in @image1. Do not beautify, slim, de-age, restyle hair, or wipe the makeup. Keep this same outfit in every shot. Do not add a different cape or costume. Refer to them only as they/them. @image2 is the product. Photocopy it exactly as shown: same shape, colour, materials, finish and any lettering. Unchanged. Free and unpackaged. Only one @image2 exists in every shot, always at real size. Do not restyle it. Do not put it in a box. Do not duplicate it on the bar. CONCEPT: they are so excited Halloween season has started that they rush out to celebrate with @image2 — and learn it is October 1. STYLE: photoreal gothic Halloween fairytale comedy. Candlelit old-world interiors, foggy cobblestone streets, moody blue night outside vs warm orange candlelight inside. Comedic timing. Smooth camera. CALENDAR RULES: Exactly two calendar shots, different. 1) OPENING (0.0-2.0s only): the revealed page is only the word OCTOBER. No day number. No date grid. 2) TAVERN wall calendar, including the LAST SCENE: a plain October month calendar with NO date marked, NO circle, NO highlight on any day. Completely unmarked. CAR / ARRIVAL: @image1 is the driver in every moving-car shot — in the seat, hands on the wheel. The car only moves while they are driving it. At the tavern: full STOP. Parked. Then @image1 opens the car door (door swings), steps out holding @image2, and walks through the tavern doors. Behind them the SAME car STAYS PARKED in that exact place. It does not creep, roll, reverse, or leave empty. 0.0-2.0s HOOK. Hand rips a calendar page: only OCTOBER, no date. Candles flare. Whip to @image1 delighted. Never start on the attached still. 2.0-5.5s GETTING READY. Bedroom. Their own clothes from @image1, mirror. @image2 on the dresser. Photocopy @image1 and @image2. No calendar. 5.5-7.5s GRAB. Picks up @image2, rushes out. 7.5-12.5s DRIVE. @image1 driving the vintage black convertible, visible in the seat, @image2 buckled on the passenger seat. Mansion, lightning, cobblestone. 12.5-18.5s ARRIVAL. Car with @image1 at the wheel slows and STOPS in front of the timber-framed tavern. Full stop, parked. @image1 opens the car door, steps out with @image2. The parked car stays in that same place. They walk through the tavern doors. 18.5-21.5s TAVERN. Empty bar, no Halloween decorations. Places ONE @image2 on the counter. Photocopy @image2. No calendar yet. 21.5-24.5s REVEAL. Elderly bartender, distinct from @image1. Points at a paper calendar on the tavern wall. Close-up: an October calendar with NO date marked or circled. 24.5-28.0s PUNCHLINE. Smile melts. Bartender, English: "Halloween is in thirty days." @image1 sits by the single @image2: "...I'll wait." Two mugs. 28.0-30.0s FINAL. Wide empty tavern: @image1 and bartender at the bar, ONE @image2 between them. The wall calendar is visible and has NO date marked. Slow push-in on @image2. Hold. AUDIO: playful spooky orchestral until the tavern, silence at the reveal. SFX: paper rip, candles, coat, car engine that STOPS, car door, footsteps, tavern doors, cricket. Dialogue English, clear. NO SUBTITLES. NO TEXT except the two calendars. NO WATERMARK. NO LOGOS other than lettering already on @image2. NO EXTRA PEOPLE besides @image1 and the bartender. NO DUPLICATE @image2. NO EMPTY CAR DRIVING. NO MARKED DATE ON THE WALL CALENDAR.
