An image-to-video prompt that animates a reference image as the first frame, showing a girl with snakes in her hair struggling to hold back sobs before her emotions erupt into quiet crying. The technique relies on continuous handheld shake, backlit lens flare, and a slow orbiting camera that circles to face her directly.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
the reference image as the first frame. Maintain a subtle, continuous shake from the handheld camera. Throughout the scene, the subject’s hair gently sways in the breeze. Sequence of Actions: The subject is holding back her sobs. She is desperately trying not to cry. Her lips are tightly pursed, her jaw is trembling, and her chest rises and falls rapidly as she takes sharp breaths. Tears well up in her eyes but do not spill over. After a brief pause Despite her desperate efforts to hold back, her emotions erupt. She closes her eyes tightly, opens her mouth, and sobs quietly. Tears stream down both cheeks. She tilts her head down slightly. (Hands, fingers, and arms must not appear in the frame.) The snakes in her hair also hang their heads sadly, as if sensing the girl’s emotions. Her eyes are slightly open and looking downward; her mouth remains open as she breathes heavily, exhausted. A sob escapes her. The camera follows the girl and slowly circles around to face her directly, with a backlit lens flare shimmering beautifully.
