Image Prompt:
Face 100% accurate match to reference image. CRITICAL: The facial features, bone structure, and identity must be a STRICT, EXACT REPLICA of the attached reference image. A close-up cinematic portrait of a young South Asian woman, with dark hair and a gentle, focused expression, looking down at her craft. She is wearing a bright burnt-orange colored kurti and a pale beige dupatta. She is delicately weaving the final green palm leaves onto the head of an intricately crafted, woven palm leaf deer sculpture. The background is a soft, blurred rustic wooden wall, suggesting a simple, humble setting. The scene is illuminated by warm, soft natural light, highlighting the textures of the woven leaves and the subject’s hands. Detailed texture, shallow depth of field, vibrant earthy colors. Create a high-fidelity creative remix while strictly preserving identity.
Video Prompt:
The video opens tight on the artisan’s hands, specifically focusing on the intersection point where two bright green palm leaf strands are being braided into the deer’s antler base. [0s-2s] A hyper-slow, upward crane shot initiates, lifting the perspective just enough to reveal the subtle concentration etched on her lips and chin, while her fingers execute two precise, rapid tucks of the leaf material. The texture of the fresh leaf is evident as it subtly flexes under the pressure of her thumbnail before settling into place. Physics dictates the slight elasticity of the fresh green material, which springs back minimally. [2s-6s] The camera stabilizes at this close-up level and begins an ultra-smooth, lateral dolly movement (left-to-right) for four seconds, tracking her hands as they work in unison, meticulously weaving several new strands into the symmetrical structure of the antler. The primary motion is the rhythmic, practiced manipulation of the organic material, punctuated by a brief, deliberate pause at 4 seconds as she repositions a longer strand. Her eyes remain focused downward, occasionally twitching with concentration. [6s-8s] At the 6-second mark, she pulls the final strand taut and secures the weave with a decisive, low-force motion. Immediately following this action, the camera executes a rapid, yet perfectly stable, reverse dolly (zoom out) that widens the frame, transitioning from a macro detail shot to a medium close-up, revealing the completed deer head and her deeply satisfied, focused expression. The final two seconds hold steady, showcasing the completed artifact.
