The prompt

I'm uploading two things: (1) a character image for the AI actor, (2) a short reference video of myself (an adult) acting the scene on my phone. Use the reference video only for performance: timing, gestures, head turns, pauses and emotion. Don't copy my face, body, clothes or room. Generate an [8]-second clip: - Actor: the character from image 1, keeping their face, hair and costume identical in every frame. - Setting: [e.g. a dim railway waiting room at night]. - Performance: follow my reference beat by beat: [e.g. reads a letter, stops, looks up, half-smiles, folds the letter]. - Camera: [static medium close-up / slow push-in]. One take, no cuts. - Light: [e.g. a single flickering tube light, cool tones]. - Sound: [room tone, a distant train]; no dialogue unless I add a line here: "[line]". Avoid: exaggerated cartoon acting, face drift, extra fingers, on-screen text, logos, watermarks.
