Portrait-to-Video Animation

Identity: the face, skin, body and hair are the subject's own and never change. Where a hairstyle is described below, style the subject's own hair into it; never change the hair's colour, length or texture. Apply only the outfit, makeup, hairstyling, pose and setting described below. The subject is the person from Image 1. The subject's face must match Image 1 exactly, and any facial alteration is strictly prohibited. Only the face is taken from Image 1. The white top visible in Image 1 must not appear. Sleeveless tops, camisoles, tank tops, and white tops are all strictly prohibited. The outfit remains exactly the same for the entire 15 seconds. Black turtleneck, dark brown leather jacket, black straight leg denim jeans, black Chelsea boots. There are no outfit changes between scenes. The only outerwear change occurs once: from 6 to 8 seconds the subject sits down, removes the jacket, and places it on the lap, then from 10 to 12 seconds the subject puts it back on. Even while the jacket is off, the subject is still wearing the same black turtleneck underneath. 9:16 vertical format, iPhone handheld texture, editing rhythm of 0.5 to 1 second, and no single shot exceeds 2 seconds. The only exception is the final ending hold. Beauty filters, excessive retouching, CG texture, and cinematic color grading are prohibited. Golden hour lighting, orange backlighting, film grain, and noise are also prohibited. Camera imperfections are used only once in each specified section. From 0 to 2 seconds, indoor to outdoor exposure delay. From 2 to 4 seconds, autofocus hunting. From 10 to 12 seconds, digital zoom quality degradation. All other sections must remain sharp. Whenever signs, menus, or price boards enter the frame, all text must remain completely out of focus. Background people are shown only as out of focus silhouettes. The face is always captured directly by the camera, never through reflections. Stainless steel reflective surfaces may only show lights and clothing. Do not include close up shots of knives or knife blades. Do not create shots where the feet, shoes, or legs are the main subject. No on screen captions. No shot merging or omissions. The subject does not speak. Audio consists of low volume lo fi background music layered with the sound of oil sizzling on a hot plate, ventilation fan humming, bowls and ladles clinking, and distant crowd ambience. No human voices. Night at Gwangjang Market Arcade, walk in, finish one plate, then return to the passage 0 to 2 seconds At the entrance of the market arcade, the subject walks in from the dark outdoors beneath rows of ceiling incandescent bulbs. The camera tilts upward and sweeps across the ceiling, revealing rusted steel trusses and tangled electrical wiring in a wide shot. As the subject enters the brightly lit interior, the exposure lags slightly, causing the screen to briefly overexpose before settling. As the camera lowers to the subject's face, the subject squints slightly from the sudden brightness. 2 to 4 seconds The subject walks through the narrow passage. Each food stall is lit by fluorescent lights with different color temperatures. A shoulder height handheld camera follows the subject from the front, while people on both sides remain only as blurred silhouettes. The illuminated signs at the end of the passage bloom, and all lettering stays completely out of focus. Autofocus hunts twice between the crowd and the subject's face before locking on. The subject tucks the chin and slightly raises one shoulder in response to the surrounding noise. 4 to 6 seconds The subject stops in front of a hot plate food stall. The light source is the blue flame beneath the griddle. A macro shot captures oil droplets jumping from the heated steel plate while white steam rises in columns. As the steam reaches the subject's face, the subject squints, tilts the head back, and wipes the nose from the smoky air. The subject looks at the camera for only 0.5 seconds. 6 to 8 seconds The subject sits inside the stall seating area and removes the leather jacket, placing it on the lap. Underneath the subject continues wearing the same black turtleneck. The light source is a bare incandescent bulb overhead. A tight shot captures the long reflection of the bulb across the stainless steel countertop and the wrinkled texture of the plastic canopy covering it. As the plastic chair slides backward, the subject steadies with the shoulders, raises the eyebrows from the heat, and exhales. 8 to 10 seconds The subject remains seated in the same place. The lighting combines the incandescent bulb with fluorescent light from the neighboring stall. A tight shot shows a brass bowl, a well worn ladle, and a wooden chopstick holder tied together with a rubber band arranged on the counter. The subject takes one bite from the plate in front of the subject using one hand. Because the food is hot, the subject parts the lips slightly and exhales. The final second is an unexplained insert shot of a single empty plastic chair gently swaying beyond a gap in the canopy. 10 to 12 seconds The subject stands up, puts the jacket back on while standing, and after fully wearing it, walks back into the passage. The light sources are the red warming lamp of a neighboring display case and the blue light from a refrigerator. The handheld camera follows the subject as alternating red and blue light sweeps across the medium shot. As the camera digitally zooms toward a distant red light at the end of the passage, the image quality noticeably degrades. The subject blinks several times from the glare. 12 to 15 seconds The subject stands still facing forward in the middle of the passage in a full body shot. Behind the subject, the steel arcade ceiling and rows of incandescent lights extend toward a distant vanishing point in a wide shot. During the ending hold, only the camera moves with a very slight handheld shake. The subject looks at the camera for 0.5 seconds, then shifts the gaze to the side and remains standing. Constraints: never change the subject's face, skin or body, and never change the colour, length or texture of the subject's hair — style it only as described.
