Concept: Create a single continuous 10-second uncut video (no cuts, transitions, or scene changes) that animates a studio-quality anime-style half-body portrait of a Caucasian/White man in his late 20s at a cozy coffee shop. The goal is to clearly read as an "anime version of me from a photo," with a natural, believable transformation effect and no readable text, captions, logos, watermarks, or overlays. Characters/Subjects: A late-20s Caucasian/White man, half-body (waist-up) framing, wearing a gray hoodie under a blue denim jacket. He holds a smartphone in his right hand, looking down at the screen. Facial features should match a realistic photo-to-anime translation: slightly narrow jaw, soft stubble, warm brown eyes, short slightly messy brown hair. Expression: surprised smile that grows as an anime-style transformation kicks in. Action/Narrative (10 seconds continuous): 0:00–0:02 — Establish subtle breathing movement and small ambient motion: the man blinks, his shoulders shift slightly, and steam rises faintly from a coffee cup on the table just out of frame. Camera steady on half-body framing. 0:02–0:05 — He glances at his phone; his eyes widen and a surprised smile begins. Hair and facial contours subtly shift as the transformation begins: outlines sharpen into anime linework, colors simplify and become slightly more saturated, skin highlights become stylized. No visible magical effects or floating particles—transformation should feel like a smooth morph from photo-realistic shading into anime illustration. 0:05–0:08 — Transformation completes: eyes subtly enlarge to anime proportions, eyelashes and catchlights become more pronounced, jacket and hoodie adopt clean anime shading and minor cel-shading on folds. His expression settles into an amused, surprised smile. 0:08–0:10 — Hold final anime appearance for two seconds with a very slight handheld camera push-in (about 5–8% zoom) to emphasize the reveal; the character breathes and the coffee steam continues to rise. Camera Work: Single continuous shot, static tripod framing for first 8 seconds, then a very slow, subtle push-in zoom during last 2 seconds (smooth, optical-style, no jump cuts). Frame is professional half-body portrait composition: subject centered slightly to the right to leave negative space on the left, eye-line at upper third. Shallow depth-of-field throughout: bokeh background with warm café lights. Lighting and Atmosphere: Warm café lighting with soft key light from the left/front, gentle rim light on the right shoulder to separate subject from background. Soft, diffuse shadows; subtle specular highlights on the eyes and phone screen (no readable text). Cozy, intimate atmosphere with warm color temperature (amber/orange highlights) and muted ambient café tones in the background. Maintain consistent lighting as the character morphs into anime style. Specific Details: No readable text on phone or background signage. Outfit color specifics: mid-gray hoodie, medium-blue denim jacket with subtle texture preserved as simplified anime texture. Skin tone fair with warm undertones. Eyes warm brown with distinct anime-style catchlights after transformation. Hair color medium brown with simplified cel-shading and a few hair strand highlights. Background: out-of-focus café interior with warm pendant lights and wooden tones; bokeh circles should be soft and round. No captions, no writing, no text, no watermarks, no logos, no overlays. Final result must clearly read as "anime version of me from a photo." Video length exactly 10 seconds, smooth frame rate (24 or 30 fps), and continuous single-shot animation with the described transformation sequence.
