Selective Slow Motion City Dancer

Prompt

Create a 30-second cinematic photorealistic image-to-video sequence using the uploaded image as the exact starting frame. Aspect ratio 16:9. One continuous, uninterrupted shot. IDENTITY AND SCENE: Preserve the dancer’s exact face, short twisted hair, sunglasses, cobalt-blue varsity jacket, white tank top, beige cargo pants, silver chain and red-and-white sneakers. Maintain the original Midtown Manhattan setting, overcast lighting, wet pavement and realistic textures. CAMERA — COMPLETELY STATIC: Locked-off tripod camera throughout all 30 seconds. Preserve the original low-angle framing and perspective. No tracking, panning, tilting, zooming, dolly movement, handheld shake, reframing or cuts. Keep the dancer’s entire body and shoes visible. He dances in place on the pedestrian island without approaching the camera. SELECTIVE SLOW MOTION — MOST IMPORTANT: ONLY the dancer and his attached clothing, hair and accessories move in smooth cinematic slow motion, approximately 0.4× normal speed. The surrounding city continues at ordinary 1× real-time speed. Taxis and buses drive naturally, cyclists pedal at normal speed, pedestrians walk normally and street steam hits naturally. Maintain this speed contrast simultaneously throughout the shot. No global slow motion, frozen background, time-lapse or speed ramps. DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY: 0–8 seconds: From the reference pose, he slowly shifts his weight between his feet, gently rolls his shoulders and lets his extended arms float downward with relaxed wrists. His expression is calm and absorbed in the music. 8–16 seconds: A continuous fluid arm wave travels from one hand through his shoulders to the other hand, accompanied by a subtle chest isolation and a small heel-toe pivot. His jacket follows with realistic delayed fabric movement. 16–24 seconds: He transitions into a gentle body wave, bends his knees slightly and performs a short, controlled side glide within the island. His hands trace graceful arcs near his torso. Keep movements grounded, anatomically natural and visibly slowed. 24–30 seconds: He gradually opens his arms again, lifts his chin slightly and settles into a relaxed finishing stance as the musical phrase resolves. Traffic continues normally through the final frame. MUSIC AND SOUND: Beautiful original instrumental music at normal playback speed: dreamy neo-soul and atmospheric R&B, around 75 BPM, with warm electric-piano chords, a delicate expressive guitar melody, soft ambient pads, rounded bass and understated brushed percussion. Soulful, elegant and gently uplifting. Choreograph the dancer’s slow gestures so their accents land on the beats and their longer movements follow the melodic phrases. Music must not sound slowed down or pitch-shifted. No vocals or dialogue. Keep subtle traffic ambience beneath the music. QUALITY AND AVOID: Photorealistic skin, consistent anatomy, natural foot contact and bel
