The prompt

Turn my uploaded photo into a frame grabbed from an early-2000s home camcorder tape. Keep my face, body and pose exactly as they are; the person must be an adult. Look: - 4:3 frame with soft standard-definition sharpness - slightly washed-out colours, lifted blacks, a little chroma bleed around bright edges - faint horizontal scan lines and a light tracking wobble at the bottom edge - auto-exposure feel: highlights a bit blown where the light hits Overlay: a camcorder-style date and time in the bottom-right corner in a blocky orange-yellow digital font, showing [DD MM YYYY HH:MM]. Add a small "REC" with a red dot at top-left. Spell these exactly as given. Keep the original background but make it look like it was filmed on that device. No brand names on the overlay. Format: 4:3, no other text, no logos, no watermark. Avoid changing my face and avoid heavy glitch that hides it.
