Prompt
806 wordsReference @image1 3x3/9-frame reference image for sharing [CONDITION DEFINITION] Use the attached 1:1 square reference image consisting of 3 rows x 3 columns (9 total frames) as a storyboard for a video of approximately 15 seconds. Instead of moving the entire reference image as a 3x3 split screen, expand each frame individually as a standard full-screen shot. Use all 9 frames in the reference image without omission, integration, repetition, or reordering. Always display only one frame at a time in full screen; do not display multiple frames simultaneously. If the reference image is live-action, maintain the live-action texture. If it is anime or illustration, maintain the original style, lines, coloring, shading, and texture. Do not convert live-action to anime or vice versa. Do not introduce new fixed costumes, expressions, poses, actions, props, or background settings from the prompt side. Based on the composition, subject state, posture, expression, costume, background, and atmosphere depicted in each frame, supplement natural movement suitable for that content and style. If the 9 frames depict the same person or character, maintain the identity of facial features, hairstyle, perceived age, physique, costume, and major physical characteristics across all shots. [SHOT / FLOW] The reading order of the reference image is from top-left to right, proceeding through the top row, middle row, and bottom row. Shot 1 | 0.0–1.5s Expand the top-left frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. Shot 2 | 1.5–3.0s Expand the top-middle frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. Shot 3 | 3.0–4.5s Expand the top-right frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. Shot 4 | 4.5–6.0s Expand the middle-row left frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. Shot 5 | 6.0–8.0s Expand the center frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. Shot 6 | 8.0–9.5s Expand the middle-row right frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. Shot 7 | 9.5–11.0s Expand the bottom-left frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. Shot 8 | 11.0–12.5s Expand the bottom-middle frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. Shot 9 | 12.5–15.0s Expand the bottom-right frame as a full-screen shot and move naturally according to its composition, style, and subject state. End with a short lingering effect. Each shot should generate natural, visible movement from the start. Eyes, expressions, breathing, posture, hair, clothing, surrounding objects, light, and backgrounds should move naturally within a range that connects logically from the original state of each frame. Do not add new performances or large actions unrelated to the reference image. [CAMERA / EDITING] Maintain the original composition and sense of distance of each frame as the basis, expanding naturally as a 1:1 full-screen shot. Prioritize natural movement of the subject and background, keeping the camera generally stable. Add very slight zooms, pulls, pans, or depth changes only when necessary. The order and transition timing of shots follow the timeline specified in [SHOT / FLOW]. Switch between shots with clear cuts. Do not perform morphing that dissolves faces, bodies, costumes, or backgrounds into the next shot. Do not leave the frame borders or margins of the 3x3 image as fixed frames in the final video. Decorations, lines, symbols, and effects originally drawn within each frame may be naturally maintained as part of the original art style. However, do not proliferate decorations, break their shapes, or continue them into different shots. [SOUND] Include BGM. Add instrumental music that naturally fits the art style, atmosphere, and tempo of the video. Do not include lyrics, singing, narration, or dialogue. Add subtle ambient sounds or sound effects as needed without interfering with the BGM. [NEGATIVE] Do not move the entire 3x3 reference image as a split screen. Do not use multiple screens, split screens, or collage displays. Do not omit, integrate, repeat, or reorder any of the 9 frames. Do not change the specified reading order. Do not deviate significantly from the specified time allocation. Do not display each frame as a long still image. Do not change the identity of the same person or character. Do not add new people, costumes, props, backgrounds, or performances unrelated to the reference content. Do not significantly change the original expressions, postures, costumes, or compositions. Do not turn live-action into anime or anime/illustrations into live-action. Do not dissolve or morph faces, bodies, costumes, or backgrounds between shots. Do not proliferate, deform, or connect decorations, lines, symbols, or effects between shots. Avoid violent camera movements, extreme zooms, excessive acting, or unnecessary scene changes.
