16:9Rain-Soaked Warrior Summons Water Sword and Dragons
An image-to-video prompt that animates a character in a rainy small town, using the reference image for identity and outfit consistency. Over twelve seconds the camera moves through feet, body, and face close-ups as rain freezes, forms a water sword, and erupts into a sky-splitting dragon attack. The look is Unreal Engine ray-traced, desaturated grey-blue, with film grain and god-rays.
