JAInfluencer Selfie-Style Video at Starship Launch Pad
An image-to-video prompt creating a handheld iPhone-style clip of a social media influencer standing in front of a docked SpaceX Starship as it ignites and lifts off. The camera pushes in on him as he delivers a confident line, then he exits frame while the rocket rises.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
The video feels real and raw, shot on a handheld iPhone by a social media influencer. The lighting is harsh, natural morning sun. We see the man in (Reference Image of Myself) wearing the same exact outfit. Standing in front of the spacecraft and dock we see in (Image of a spaceport I made with the Starship docked) He is centered in frame, slightly shaky. And the ship ignition starts causing a plume of smoke and shoot out fire that begins to rise from the base and the ship slowly rise. The camera pushes in on him as he looks into the lens with a confident smirk. In a typical American accent he says: “This is the Space X Effect" He steps out of frame as the rocket rises quickly. There is no one else in the frame.
