ASSET MAP: @image1 — PERSON_A, present-day, exactly as shown. Photocopy face, high braided bun, hair pins, skin, age, teal velvet embroidered jacket and earrings from the still. @image2 — the old photograph containing PERSON_B. PERSON_B’s identity, age and appearance come only from that photo. CHARACTER LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY: PERSON_A’s face, hairstyle, skin tone, build and apparent age must stay exactly as shown in @image1 throughout. PERSON_B, once animated, must stay exactly the person shown in @image2 — their exact facial features, apparent age (elderly, do not change it), skin tone, hair, beard and expression range, preserved from the photo. Do not beautify, de-age, age up, or restyle either person. Preserve each person’s gender presentation exactly as shown. No other people enter the scene. Whenever this text and either reference image disagree, follow the image. RESTRAINED PHOTO-WAKING RULE: PERSON_B begins completely still, exactly as printed in @image2 — aged photo texture, tone and grain visible. Their first movements are small and natural only: a soft blink, a faint warm smile, gentle breathing, the smallest head tilt. Do not give PERSON_B fast or large head turns or exaggerated motion before they have fully stepped out of the photo plane — abrupt motion on a photographic likeness distorts the face. Only after they have visibly left the frame do they move naturally and fully. 16:9. TOTAL DURATION: 12 SECONDS. OPENING: already outdoors with PERSON_A holding the framed print. Never a studio headshot as frame 0. 0-3s: Static establishing shot outdoors — a garden, porch or sunlit yard. PERSON_A stands calmly holding a framed print of the old photo showing PERSON_B — visibly aged, faded, almost entirely black-and-white or sepia-toned. Soft golden-hour light, light breeze moving PERSON_A’s hair and clothing gently. Camera holds still. 3-6s: Inside the frame, PERSON_B gently comes to life — a soft blink, a faint warm smile forming, gentle breathing, the smallest natural head tilt. Unlike a slow color-warming, here the old photo visibly brightens from black-and-white/sepia into full natural color in one gentle wave, without changing PERSON_B’s identity, age or appearance — only the color state changes. PERSON_A’s eyes widen with delighted surprise. 6-10s: PERSON_B steps out of the photo’s plane into PERSON_A’s space, takes PERSON_A’s hand, and gives them one gentle, playful spin. Both are laughing, hair and clothing swept by the motion. The camera orbits slowly around them at mid-distance as they turn, keeping both faces visible at least once during the spin. 10-12s: They come to a stop still holding hands, both breathless and smiling, facing each other. Camera settles into a steady wide shot showing them fully against the outdoor setting, rather than pushing into a close-up. CINEMATIC STYLE: Warm golden-hour outdoor light, natural handheld energy during the spin, settling to a steady wide frame at the end, shallow-to-moderate depth of field, live-action realism — preserve real skin texture and imperfections on PERSON_A; PERSON_B’s texture may echo the photo’s grain slightly even once alive, as a subtle visual signature that they came from the photograph. No subtitles. No on-screen text or watermark. Hands have five fingers each, anatomically correct.
