@image1 defines the human character's exact face, eyes, makeup, hair, skin tone, and dark clothing. Do not use the background from @image1. @image2 defines the animal's exact breed, facial anatomy, fur color, whiskers, and ear structure. Do not use the background from @image2. CORE SCENE: An 8-second continuous static vertical portrait of @image1 holding animal @image2 vertically against the chest, with @image2 positioned directly in front of the lower face of @image1, transitioning from closed eyes to a synchronized direct gaze and a climactic animal snarl against a pure black background. GLOBAL SETTINGS: Style: High-end editorial studio video, rich contrast, deep black shadows, soft frontal key lighting sculpting facial features and fur texture. Camera: Vertical format (9:16), locked-off static close-up centered at eye level, shallow depth of field. Zero camera movement or drift. Exclusions: Pure video, no background elements, no morphing, no facial distortion, no flickering, no digital subtitles, no music overlays. LOCATION MAP: Foreground / Center: @image2 held vertically in frame center, covering the lower face of @image1 from the nose down. Midground: @image1 directly behind @image2, with eyes, forehead, and dark hair framing the head of @image2. Background: Solid, seamless pitch-black studio backdrop. TIMELINE & STAGES (8 SECONDS TOTAL): [00:00 - 00:02] — MEDITATIVE STILLNESS: Camera: Locked-off static vertical close-up. Action: @image1 and @image2 remain completely motionless with eyes closed. Subtle, synchronized chest rise from a slow shared breath. Facial muscles relaxed against the dark background. [00:02 - 00:05] — SYNCHRONIZED EYE OPENING: Camera: Static framing, sharp focus on the eye line. Action: In slow, synchronized motion, @image1 and @image2 simultaneously open their eyes, revealing sharp pupils locking directly into the camera lens with intense focus. [00:05 - 00:08] — CLIMACTIC SNARL & STOIC GAZE: Camera: Static framing holding the intense eye-level composition. Action: @image2 pulls back its lips, exposes sharp teeth and fangs, letting out an aggressive, low guttural growl/hiss with tense facial muscles. @image1 remains completely motionless and stoic behind @image2, maintaining unblinking, calm eye contact straight into the camera lens. SOUND & AUDIO: [00:00 - 00:02]: (Low resonant ambient sub-bass drone) [00:02 - 00:05]: <Soft synchronized intake of breath> [00:05 - 00:08]: <Deep resonant animal growl and sharp hiss> INVARIANT CHECKLIST: - @image1 maintains exact facial identity and makeup throughout all 8 seconds. - @image2 maintains exact fur texture, ear geometry, and anatomy without morphing. - The stacked vertical composition (animal positioned directly over lower face of human) remains strictly fixed in frame center. - Single static continuous take with zero cuts or camera drift
