15sCasual Smartphone Island Day With Character Lock
A vertical smartphone-style video of a woman spending a spontaneous day on a tropical island, walking a jungle trail, removing sandals, collecting shells, and wading in shallow water. The prompt locks her exact face, hair, outfit, and body proportions from a reference image while mimicking imperfect handheld phone footage with natural shake, autofocus shifts, and exposure changes.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
Preserve the exact face, identity, hairstyle, skin tone, facial features, body proportions, outfit, and accessories from @ image1 throughout the entire video. IMPORTANT STYLE: This must look like a REAL VIDEO casually recorded on an ordinary smartphone by a real person, NOT a cinematic production, NOT an AI-generated video, NOT a commercial, NOT a travel film. Use realistic smartphone camera behavior: handheld phone movement, small natural hand tremors, imperfect framing, slightly tilted horizon, occasional sudden camera repositioning, inconsistent distance from the subject, natural autofocus changes, brief exposure adjustment when moving between shade and sunlight, realistic smartphone dynamic range, subtle phone-camera sharpening, mild compression, natural motion blur, slightly uneven stabilization, and occasional focus breathing. Do NOT use cinematic camera movements, drone shots, professional tracking shots, perfect composition, dramatic depth of field, film grain, film color grading, slow motion, lens flares, artificial bokeh, hyper-saturated colors, glossy skin, beauty filters, or perfect lighting. The footage should feel like a friend casually filming a spontaneous island day on their phone. Keep small mistakes and imperfections. Do not make every shot visually perfect. 00:00–00:02 Vertical smartphone footage while she walks through a narrow jungle trail toward the beach. The camera is held casually at chest/face height. The framing is slightly imperfect and occasionally cuts part of her head or shoulder. Leaves briefly pass in front of the lens. Natural walking shake. 00:02–00:04 She moves the phone toward the trees and suddenly reveals the ocean in the distance. The phone briefly struggles to adjust exposure from the darker jungle to the bright beach. She naturally reacts with a small smile. 00:04–00:06 Camera points downward toward her feet. She casually removes her sandals and places them on the sand. The framing is not perfectly centered. Realistic phone autofocus briefly shifts between her hand, sandals, and sand. 00:06–00:08 She crouches down and picks up a couple of small seashells. The phone is held close to her and moves slightly as she changes position. She looks at one shell and then briefly looks into the camera with a natural smile. 00:08–00:10 She sits on a small rock facing the ocean. The camera remains handheld from a short distance, as if another friend is casually recording her on a phone. Slight unintentional shake and imperfect framing. 00:10–00:12 Phone follows her casually from behind as she walks barefoot through shallow water. Small waves touch her feet. Her hair moves naturally in the sea breeze. No slow motion. 00:12–00:15 She switches to a casual selfie recording. She walks toward the phone, comes slightly too close to the lens, laughs naturally, gives a playful smile, and says casually: “Ok
