Prompt (original, unmodified)
Ultra-cinematic fantasy video set in Draconis Academy, a grand dragon school inside a massive gothic castle. Preserve the exact facial identity of the man in the reference image across all frames, including glasses, beard, hairstyle, facial structure, and expressions. The teacher stands before rows of young dragon students of various colors sitting at wooden desks inside a majestic cathedral-like classroom. Golden sunlight streams through stained-glass windows, illuminating floating magical maps, dragon anatomy diagrams, and glowing runes. The teacher explains dragon flight while pointing at a giant chalkboard. Dragon students listen attentively, take notes with enchanted quills, and one black dragon hatchling raises its wing to ask a question. The teacher walks through the classroom interacting with dragons. Epic wide shots reveal hundreds of dragon students and magical holographic displays. End with a heroic shot of the teacher standing at the center of the hall surrounded by dragons as sunlight fills the room. Photorealistic dragons, Game of Thrones-inspired fantasy atmosphere, Unreal Engine 5 quality, blockbuster cinematography, volumetric lighting, ray tracing, HDR, shallow depth of field, smooth camera movement, highly detailed textures, 8K.
