Prompt

Copy-ready prompt

[Character and Clothing Reference]
Use the uploaded character reference image for identity and clothing. The left close-up locks the face, makeup, and hair; the middle full body and right back view lock clothing structure, jewelry, and proportions. Maintain consistency throughout; no face-swapping or clothing changes.

[Style]
Realistic cinematic birthday party video. Starts naturally with subtle deadpan humor; escalates during the 'candle blowing' to a fire-breathing effect; ends as a high-contrast black and white poster. Quiet, cool demeanor; no cartoonish expressions.

[Duration/Aspect Ratio]
15 seconds, 9:16 vertical screen.

[Scene]
Indoor restaurant or bar. Female subject sits behind a table with a round birthday cake. Dark wine rack background with warm circular lights. Soft warm lighting on the character and cake.

[Core Props]
Silver birthday crown, round cake, long thin curved white birthday candle, lighter. Use the same candle throughout.

[Camera & Composition]
Fixed camera directly in front of the subject, ~1.4m away. Steady medium shot. Captures head, torso, hands, and cake. No camera movement (panning, zooming, etc.). Depth change only comes from the subject leaning forward.

[Shot 1: Putting on Crown]
Subject is seated. A hand enters from top-left and places a silver crown on her head. Subject observes the hand then looks forward with a natural expression.

[Shot 2: Holding Candle Like a Cigarette]
A hand from the right brings a long curved candle to her mouth. She holds one end between her lips horizontally. She uses her index and middle fingers to hold it like a cigarette. Order: hand enters -> brings candle -> she bites end -> she holds with fingers -> hand exits. No actual tobacco or smoke.

[Shot 3: Lighting the Candle]
A hand from the left enters with a lighter. Lights the outer end of the candle held in her mouth. She remains calm and observes the flame. The lighter only lights the candle, not the cake or the subject.

[Shot 4: Removing the Lit Candle]
Lighter exits. She removes the lit candle from her mouth using her fingers, looking at the flame briefly before looking at the cake. It must be the same curved candle.

[Shot 5: Inserting Candle into Cake]
She lowers the lit candle and inserts it into the top of the cake. The flame remains lit. No clipping or cake deformation.

[Shot 6: Leaning in to Blow]
She sits back, then leans forward toward the cake with a subtle smile, preparing to blow out the candle. Camera remains fixed.

[Shot 7: Fire-Breathing Surprise]
From the leaning position, she blows at the candle. Instead of air, a realistic continuous orange-yellow flame jets from her mouth over the cake. The flame is triggered by the blow. It illuminates her face and the environment. She maintains a calm expression throughout the fire-breathing.

[Shot 8: Black and White Poster Freeze]
At the peak of the fire-breathing, the frame freezes and transforms into a high-contrast black and white birthday poster.
