## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Prompt

```text
30-second photorealistic live-action comedy, 16:9 horizontal, 4K, 30fps. Adult East Asian woman, late 20s, long glossy black wavy hair, natural makeup, expressive dark eyes. Fitted midnight-blue satin lounge dress, turquoise socks. She carries an ornate navy-and-gold hardcover book with geometric decoration, no readable text.

Real lived-in townhouse bedroom and narrow hallway: honey-oak floors, cream walls, framed art, beige patterned bed, grey velvet bench, faded Persian rug, sheer daylight curtains, cast-iron radiator, vintage brass-and-white ceiling fan. Heavy black medicine ball in hallway. Maintain perfect character, wardrobe, book, prop, environment, lighting and spatial continuity.

0–5s: Waist-height wide 24mm phone-camera shot. She walks toward camera reading, absorbed. Her socked foot hits the medicine ball; she briefly loses balance and protects the book.

5–10s: She stumbles sideways into the bedroom and falls onto the bed. Realistic weight, inertia, hair and satin movement; mattress visibly compresses and rebounds. Book stays in her hands.

10–15s: Side close-up. She sits up, checks the exact line and immediately keeps reading. Ball rebounds behind her, rolls toward her. She notices it, calmly leans backward as it passes her face, sits upright and pulls the blanket over herself without stopping.

15–20s: Low angle toward rotating ceiling fan. Ball bounces into the blades, producing believable collisions, spin, gravity and rebounds. Fan wobbles and dust shakes loose. Ball drops and rolls across the room.

20–24s: Ball hits cast-iron radiator with believable heavy impact, briefly compresses, drops to the wood floor and rolls away. Radiator vibrates subtly.

24–30s: Wide bedside shot. She lies under blanket reading, completely calm. Ball rolls back from hallway and lightly hits bed frame. She stops, looks at it, then slowly looks directly into camera with a deadpan, mildly irritated expression. Beat. She looks back at the book and continues reading. Hold final absurdly calm image for one second.

STYLE / PHYSICS: Photorealistic live action, authentic human movement, realistic skin, hair, cloth, weight, collisions, gravity, momentum, motion blur and mattress compression. Soft daylight, natural shadows, slight phone-lens distortion, deep focus, subtle handheld vibration and minor exposure shifts. Comedy comes from realistic physics and deadpan reaction, never cartoon behavior.

EDITING / SOUND: Fast comedic cuts with consistent screen direction, one imperfect whip-pan during chaos. Understated comedy music, footsteps, fabric, book sounds, mattress impact, ball collisions, fan wobble, radiator vibration and rolling-ball audio. Music drops during final deadpan look.

NEGATIVE: No subtitles, watermark, readable text, anime, animation, cartoon physics, CGI appearance, exaggerated expressions, object deformation, identity drift or continuity errors.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A dark-haired woman in a blue outfit reads a book in a softly lit bedroom; the scene also shows her on the bed and a view of the ceiling.

- Color: Muted beige, cream, and warm wood tones contrast with deep blue clothing and dark furniture; small teal accents appear on her footwear.
- Type: Stylized 3D anime-inspired CGI with softly rendered forms and subdued lighting.
- Framing: The woman and her book are the main focus, framed by a bed, bench, window, and open doorway. Other views emphasize her face and book, or the ceiling and fan.
- Structure: A bedroom setting with a tan-covered bed on the left, a gray bench beside it, a tall window, a framed wall picture, an open door, and a dark spherical object on the floor.
