The Genius Prompt

prompt 1 
Cinematic vertical 9:16 video, 10 seconds, realistic live-action (not cartoon, not animation), moody night mood, teal and orange color grading, shallow depth of field, soft film grain, smooth handheld feel.

FACE LOCK: The main character must be the exact same person as in the uploaded reference photo. Keep his face, skin tone, facial structure, hairstyle and beard exactly as in the reference photo in every shot. Do not change, beautify, age or replace anything on his face or head. Same identity in all shots, no face morphing.

OUTFIT: black full-sleeve collared button shirt, thin metal-frame glasses, black beaded bracelet on his wrist. White ceramic teacup with an orange pattern.

SHOT PLAN:
0.0-2.0s: Low-angle static wide shot of a dark building at night, one lower-floor window glowing teal/cyan, rest in darkness.
2.0-4.5s: Close-up of a wooden bookshelf, blurred green plant on the left, cabinet hinge visible. The cabinet door moves, his hand with the black bracelet reaches in and pulls out an old dark embossed hardcover book, leaving an empty gap on the shelf. Warm orange-brown light.
4.5-6.0s: Shot through a wooden window frame (frame in foreground), he sits side-on in cool blue night light, sipping tea from the cup, an open book in front of him.
6.0-8.0s: Warm orange lamp-lit close-up, rack focus from the cup to his face, he sips the tea and slightly squints while reading.
8.0-9.0s: Side-profile medium shot, handheld, he reads looking down.
9.0-10.0s: Shot through the red-brown window frame in blue light, he slowly lifts his head and looks out of the window, as if he heard something outside. END on this frame.

LIGHTING: warm orange lamp light inside, cool blue night light outside.
NEGATIVE: no face change, no different person, no hair or beard change, no cartoon style, no text, no watermark, no distorted hands, no glasses changing shape.



PROMPT 2

Cinematic vertical 9:16 video, 10 seconds, realistic live-action (not cartoon, not animation), continuation of the previous clip. Moody stormy night, teal and orange color grading, shallow depth of field, soft film grain.

FACE LOCK: The main character must be the exact same person as in the uploaded reference photo and the first frame. Keep his face, skin tone, facial structure, hairstyle and beard exactly the same in every shot. Do not change, beautify or replace anything on his face or head. No face morphing.

OUTFIT: black full-sleeve collared button shirt, thin metal-frame glasses (until he removes them), black beaded bracelet.

SHOT PLAN:
0.0-1.5s: Extreme close-up (macro) of his eye behind the glasses, cool cyan reflection in the lens, eye looking out of the window.
1.5-3.0s: Wide POV shot from his view: stormy deep-blue clouds over a dark treeline silhouette with 2-3 tiny distant lights. Then a sudden black frame, like the dark after a lightning flash.
3.0-5.0s: Extreme close-up of his eye again, a stronger cyan lightning reflection flashes across the lens, his eye steady, looking outside.
5.0-7.5s: Side-profile medium shot, warm light shifting to blue. He lifts one hand, holds the glasses and slowly takes them off, holding them away. His face turns calm.
7.5-10.0s: Side-profile close-up, glasses off, cool blue moonlight on his face, red-brown wooden frame line at the left edge, very slow push-in. Lips slightly parted, eyes looking far away. In the last second his head slowly lowers and his brows tighten into a sad, heavy expression. END.

LIGHTING: cool blue moonlight and lightning from the window, a trace of warm orange light fading behind him.
NEGATIVE: no face change, no different person, no hair or beard change, no cartoon style, no text, no watermark, no distorted hands, no extra glasses.
