Prompt
Copy-ready prompt
Generate a 9:16 vertical screen retro surveillance video, 15 seconds long (first-person handheld perspective from a mobile phone, mixed with VHS tape damage). The footage must look like a low-res video recorded on a handheld phone in a dim, old elevator, later copied to VHS and played repeatedly, causing heavy damage. No TV frames, no CRT borders, no filming a TV screen; only the full recording itself. The scene is a dim elevator lobby; the doors open, ad screens flicker, and fluorescent lights buzz. Handheld 1st person POV with natural jitter, seeing only my own feet, pants, and hands. Adult Asian female lead (alluring OL, wearing asset HL8o-CobkAAt5LL: alluring figure, tempting gaze, teasing smile, siren pose, slow hip sway) maintains a beautiful, ambiguous smile. Doors open, she pulls me: 'Come in...' I hesitate. A 2D secretary from the ad screen (asset cloudclone28_...) jumps out: 'Master, don't go in!' They argue and scuffle. Timeline: 0-4s wide shot of door opening, siren pose. 4-6s 2D secretary jumps out. 6-9s Lead turns furious, pulls out a chainsaw and a giant hammer to fight. 9-12s I rush in, elevator alarms for overweight. 12-15s Ending: Lead realizes her mistake, apologizes awkwardly; 2D secretary laughs: 'Fatty! I knew you were overweight!' I retreat sweating. Subtitle: 'They didn't want him to stay, the elevator just couldn't close.' Heavy screen tearing and noise. [Lighting] Flickering fluorescent mixed with ad screen light, overexposed character highlights. [Quality] Handheld jitter, focus hunting, low frame rate, VHS scan lines, snow, color crosstalk, analog instability. [Camera] No cinematic moves, only handheld shake and signal drift. [Sound] Muffled microphone audio, whispers, shouting, scuffling, alarm, heavy impacts, distorted like compressed surveillance audio. [Negative] No TV frame, no high def, no modern digital texture, no fish-eye, no realistic 2D character transformation.
