Prompt (original, unmodified)
Preserve the exact face, hairstyle, identity, skin tone, and body proportions from @ image1 throughout. Outfit: oversized terracotta linen shirt, dusty burgundy wide-leg trousers, brown leather sandals, small gold hoop earrings. Loose natural wavy hair. Authentic Indonesian woman. Late-2000s personal vlog aesthetic. Extremely raw handheld flip-camera footage with heavy camera shake, natural reframing, partial face crops, focus hunting, exposure shifts, warm faded colors, mild digital noise, and home-video imperfections. No posing, no cinematic glamour, no stabilization, no modern color grading. .00:00–00:02 Wooden dock. Selfie shot, smiling and talking casually. Fishing boats behind. .00:02–00:04 Coastal alley. Walking with a stray dog beside her. Camera struggles to follow. .00:04–00:06 Small warung. Sitting with an elderly vendor, laughing while holding hot tea. .00:06–00:08 Fishing dock. Crouches to feed the stray dog. Warm morning light. .00:08–00:10 Village street. Walking while checking a small map/notebook, looking around curiously. .00:10–00:12 Waterfront. Looking toward the sea, hand shading her eyes, breeze moving hair. .00:12–00:15 Back on the dock. Selfie shot, laughs, says something casually, waves, recording cuts off naturally. Natural ambience only: seabirds, waves, distant boats, dog sounds, warung chatter, footsteps, breeze, and rustling leaves.
