CHARACTER LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY: The person in every shot is exactly the person in @image1. Preserve their facial identity, facial structure, eye shape and spacing, 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 their gender presentation exactly as shown; do not masculinize, feminize or reinterpret it. Do not beautify, slim, de-age or restyle them. The attached image outranks every word below it: wherever the image and the text disagree, follow the image. Frame 1 is already in the scene — never a studio portrait, grey backdrop, or the attached still as an opening plate. Use they/them throughout. No other people. Create a 15-second ultra-realistic early-2000s consumer camcorder home video in London. 9:16. The person in the attached reference is the only person. OPENING — MANDATORY: Frame 1 is already in the London street, handheld camcorder running. They are already mid-run toward a bus. Do not open on a studio portrait, grey backdrop, still headshot, or the attached image as a plate. NEVER insert the attached still, a grey seamless, or a beauty-headshot as a cutaway. Every single frame is handheld location footage. The spoken line is delivered on the street, in the hoodie, after missing the bus — not as a studio talking-head. IDENTITY: preserve the attached face exactly, including green eyes, freckles, black wavy hair, and the pointed elf ears — both ears stay pointed in every frame. Do not humanize the ears. Do not change the face. Wardrobe, locked: navy hoodie over a white top, beige cargo shorts, gray sneakers, burgundy crossbody bag, silver watch. Fit these clothes to the attached person's body. Do not restyle the hair except as wind and running move it. STYLE: handheld footage from an old consumer DV camcorder on a hot summer afternoon in a quiet older London neighborhood. Brick terraces, a red double-decker bus, a corner café with a takeaway window, a shop front with a glass display. Strong natural handheld shake, imperfect framing, autofocus hunting, faded DV colours, mild tape noise. No cinematic gimbal. Never show the camera operator. No other faces (barista hands only if needed, no face). 0–3s — chase: Already running after a red double-decker pulling away from the stop. Chaotic handheld chase, breathing, footsteps. They miss it by a second. 3–6s — the line: They stop, out of breath, turn fully toward the camera and clearly say in English, exact lip sync: "Oh, I guess I'll walk today." Those exact words. Then a small resigned laugh. Do not say "I'm going to drive it." 6–10s — coffee: They duck to a neighbourhood café takeaway counter, grab a paper takeaway coffee cup with a lid (plain cup, no brand logo), pay quickly, keep walking. Cup stays in one hand for the rest of the clip. 10–13s — shop window: They slow down and peer through a shop window at something in the display, coffee in hand, a beat of curiosity, then keep walking. 13–15s — heat: It is baking hot. They pull a small paper fan from the bag and fan their face while holding the coffee, slightly overheated, a little laugh, camera still following. Abrupt DV cut. AUDIO: one spoken English line only — "Oh, I guess I'll walk today." Plus running, breathing, bus engine, café clink, street, fan flutter. No music, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark. No on-screen text. Duration: exactly 15 seconds. Aspect ratio: 9:16.
