A single unbroken pull-back from an extreme close-up of your face mid-scream out to a wide of the whole office, revealing you sealed inside your booth while nobody reacts. Upload your face and your booth. 18s, with sound.

ASSET MAP — every reference is bound here and cited by tag below: @image1 — the identity anchor from step 1. This is the person: it defines face, build and identity. Referred to below as @avatar. CHARACTER LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY: @avatar is exactly the person in @image1. Preserve their 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. Preserve their gender presentation exactly as shown; do not masculinize, feminize or otherwise reinterpret it. Do not beautify, slim, de-age or restyle them. No face changes, no identity drift. The grandmother described below is the ONLY other person inside the room. Every reference to the candidate in this prompt is @avatar — no pronouns, no description. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: @image1 is the person — reproduce them exactly, in every single frame, and never invent a different face, hairline, hair colour, skin tone, body or age. The attached image outranks every word written below it: wherever the image and this text disagree, follow the image. SPOKEN LANGUAGE: ENGLISH. Every spoken word is in English, exactly as written in the DIALOGUE block. The grandmother speaks fluent, precise, professional English with a thick Eastern European accent. @avatar speaks native English. Deadpan office comedy, documentary realism. One locked camera, no cuts. PRIORITY 1 — THE ORDER OF THE LAST BEAT, NEVER CHANGE IT: @avatar FIRST asks the question while sitting upright and facing the grandmother, looking straight at her — and ONLY AFTER the question is finished does the searching begin. The search is the consequence of the question, never before it and never during it. PRIORITY 2 — THE SEARCH: once the question is out, @avatar searches the room for a hidden camera with big visible movements while the face stays toward the camera. @avatar leans far SIDEWAYS out of the chair to look past the monitor, tips the head back to scan the two upper ceiling corners, cranes toward the potted plant, scans along the glass wall — then snaps back upright. @avatar leans and twists but NEVER turns away from the camera; the face is visible the whole time. PRIORITY 3 — THE CONTRAST: an old village grandmother is conducting a job interview inside a sleek modern high-tech software company office. Her village clothing and the glass-and-monitor tech office are BOTH clearly visible in the same frame from the very first second. The first beat opens on this, already in progress — no establishing shot, no empty room. She is already speaking when the video starts. PRIORITY 4: the grandmother is completely serious and professional, like a veteran HR director. Calm, unhurried, authoritative. She reads from a sheet of paper and takes a note. She never smiles, never winks, never plays folksy or comic, and she never once looks up at what @avatar is doing — not even during the search. PRIORITY 5: one locked camera position, identical framing for the whole take. No camera movement, no zoom, no reframing, no second angle, no cuts. THE GRANDMOTHER: village grandmother, about 72, sturdy and solidly built, broad shoulders, calm imposing presence, deeply weathered face, black headscarf tied under the chin, dark grey hand-knitted wool cardigan over a dark floral housedress, heavy worn hands. She sits behind the desk in a modern black mesh ergonomic office chair, holding one printed sheet of paper and a cheap pen. Fully inside the frame with space around her, never cropped by the frame edge. LOCATION: small glass-walled meeting room inside a modern software company. Behind them through the glass: an open-plan office, people at standing desks, exposed ceiling, soft daylight. Inside the room: a light oak desk, a closed slim laptop, a monitor showing a plain dark screen with no text, a glass of water, a potted monstera in the corner. NO readable text, NO letters, NO logos, NO visible user interface anywhere. FRAMING: wide locked two-shot, both people centred with air on both sides. The grandmother on the left behind the desk, fully visible. @avatar on the right, seated facing her. DIALOGUE — in English, in this exact order: (0:00-0:04) GRANDMOTHER, already mid-interview and already speaking as the video opens, reading from the sheet, calm and professional: "Walk me through the difference between a monolith and microservices." (0:04-0:07) @avatar, upright, hesitant but polite: "Microservices... deploy independently." (0:07-0:11) GRANDMOTHER, writing a note, not looking up: "Good. What was your p99 latency in production?" (0:11-0:14) @avatar, still sitting perfectly upright and looking straight at her, polite and careful: "Sorry — is this a hidden camera?" (0:14-0:20) ONLY NOW the search begins: @avatar leans sideways to look past the monitor, tips the head back at the ceiling corners, cranes toward the plant, scans the glass wall — face still toward camera. Over the top of this, GRANDMOTHER, flat, never looking up from her sheet: "No. And that is not an answer." @avatar keeps searching one more beat, then settles back into the chair, defeated. (0:20 to the end of the take, only if the take runs longer than 20 seconds) Nobody speaks again. The grandmother writes one more note, still not looking up. @avatar sits still, glances once more at the ceiling corner, then back at her. Hold that silence, unchanged, to the last frame. SOUND: quiet open-plan office hum, distant keyboards, faint air conditioning. Calm, flat, conversational delivery. No music, no laugh track.
