ASSET MAP - every reference is bound here and cited by tag below: @image1 - Avatar 1, the sitter. This is a person; it defines face and identity only. @image2 - Avatar 2, the photographer. This is a different person; it defines face and identity only. CHARACTER LOCK - HIGHEST PRIORITY: the two people in this film are exactly the people in @image1 and @image2, and they are never mixed with each other. For each of them preserve facial identity, facial structure, eye shape and spacing, eyebrows, nose, mouth, exact skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, hair length, texture and colour, freckles and distinctive marks, apparent age, build and body proportions - identically, shot to shot. Preserve each person's gender presentation exactly as shown, and do not masculinize, feminize or otherwise reinterpret it. Do not beautify, slim, de-age or restyle them. Each person wears exactly what their own reference shows, and that clothing stays the same from the first shot to the last. Hands stay complete and correct throughout, with five fingers on every visible hand. Only these two people appear in the film. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: the attached images outrank every word written below them, and wherever an attached image and this text disagree, the image is followed. @image1 and @image2 define who each person is and what they wear; the pose, framing, background, location and lighting of those images are ignored and come from this text instead. SUMMARY: @image1 sits for a portrait and @image2 photographs them on a large-format camera in a sunlit loft studio, until @image2 sets the self-timer and joins @image1 for a portrait of the two of them together; warm documentary style on a 35mm lens, shallow depth of field, hard afternoon window light throwing long window-frame shadows across a pale plaster wall, cream and amber palette, fine film grain. TIMELINE 0-4s Extreme close-up of @image1 against the sunlit wall, already in motion: @image1 puffs their cheeks and holds the silly face for a beat, then lets it go and settles into stillness as the light moves across their face. The camera holds still, breathing slightly. 4-8s Cut to @image2 standing behind a large-format bellows camera on a wooden tripod, the loft's tall windows and brick wall behind them. @image2 leans to the ground glass, adjusts the bellows with one hand, and looks up over the camera toward @image1. The camera pushes in slowly. 8-11s Cut to a close-up of @image1 as the shutter fires; @image1 breaks into a real smile a moment after the sound. 11-15s Cut to a wide two-shot of the studio: @image2 stands at the tripod on the left with their back half to us, @image1 sits on a wooden stool on the right in the window light, the shadow of the window frame falling across the wall between them. The camera trucks slowly to the right. 15-18s Cut to an extreme close-up of the back of the camera. @image2's hand enters the frame and turns the self-timer lever; a small red lamp starts to blink. The camera holds still. 18-22s Cut to a wide shot: @image2 walks away from the tripod into the set, sits down on the second stool beside @image1, and straightens up facing the lens. The blinking red lamp is visible on the camera in the foreground. 22-26s Cut to a medium two-shot of @image1 and @image2 side by side against the sunlit wall, both facing the lens. They glance at each other and start to laugh. 26-30s The shutter fires. @image1 and @image2 hold the laugh, look back to the lens together, and the frame settles as the window light slides a little further across the wall. The camera holds still to the end. NOTES: the loft, the wall, the stools, the tripod and the direction of the window light stay the same in every shot, and the film is one continuous afternoon. @image1 stays @image1 and @image2 stays @image2 in every shot they appear in. The large-format camera keeps the same body, bellows and tripod from the first shot to the last, and its body is plain matte black with a blank nameplate. No subtitles. No BGM; generate only environmental sounds and action sounds - room tone, footsteps on a wooden floor, the bellows and the shutter, the ticking of the self-timer, and their laughter.
