Open on a young woman facing an unseen person off camera. She is speaking to an unseen person off camera. She says: "So I go to see this flat. Top floor, rent's half what it should be, and the agent won't come up the stairs with me." Then cut to the voice only of the woman from the same woman as she continues to talk as a voiceover only. As she talks, her words are visualised as a story in the same visual style. The voiceover is: "First room: shoes. Hundreds of pairs, all facing the door, laces done up. Second room's got rain in it. Indoor rain, proper raincloud pouring raindrops all over the carpet. Third room, there's a window looking out onto a beach in full summer. It was February." Illustrate the voiceover sequence to tell the story visually. Then cut back to the same woman and she says with a smile: "Anyway. I signed the lease that afternoon."

A Peking Opera intangible-heritage short, cinematic, oriental aesthetics, warm and restrained. In a traditional troupe's backstage and handcraft workshop, an old master quietly makes Peking Opera headdresses, arranges costumes, and outlines a painted face, the hand details delicate, the silk threads, beadwork, pigments, and embroidery all richly textured. A young apprentice watches attentively beside him, then carefully takes up the tools and completes the small steps under the master's guidance. The master straightens the apprentice's headpiece and adjusts his lapels, as if gently handing over a craft and an emotion into his hands. Finally the young man, fully dressed, stands at the edge of the stage about to go on, faint light illuminating the costume and his profile, the old master quietly watching from behind. The overall mood is quiet, heartfelt, and full of a sense of inheritance, with few subtitles and a few fitting lines of dialogue interspersed.
Create a 30-second ultra-photorealistic cinematic slice-of-life film that is visually indistinguishable from real footage. Every frame should resemble a premium Netflix lifestyle documentary or luxury commercial, captured on a professional full-frame cinema camera using 50mm and 85mm prime lenses in true 8K HDR. Use physically accurate lighting, natural dynamic range, realistic optical lens characteristics, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, authentic motion blur, lifelike skin with visible pores, realistic eye reflections, accurate fabric simulation, and natural environmental details. Avoid any CGI or AI-generated appearance. The film follows a 30-year-old European woman living a peaceful countryside life. She has naturally tied brown hair with loose flyaway strands, minimal makeup, expressive eyes, realistic skin texture, and wears comfortable linen clothing in warm neutral tones. Every movement should feel subconscious and naturally observed—never posed or performed. She never looks directly into the camera, and her expressions remain subtle and genuine. The story begins inside a cozy farmhouse at sunrise as warm morning light fills the bedroom. She wakes naturally, opens the wooden window, and breathes in the fresh countryside air while looking across mist-covered fields. She then prepares fresh bread in a rustic kitchen, kneading dough by hand, placing it into a traditional oven, and cleaning the wooden countertop with calm, deliberate movements. Next, she walks into her small garden, gently watering herbs, collecting ripe tomatoes, and brushing her fingers across fresh plants while sunlight creates soft natural lens flares. Afterwards, she pours fresh coffee into a handmade ceramic mug and quietly reads a book beside a large window as sunlight illuminates floating dust particles. The journey continues with a relaxed walk through a charming European village lined with stone cottages, flower-filled windows, bicycles, and narrow streets before she visits a small local market to purchase fresh flowers and seasonal fruit. The film ends during golden hour as she returns home, arranges the flowers in a glass vase, sits peacefully by the window overlooking the countryside, and the camera slowly pulls away before fading naturally to black. Performance Direction: Every action should feel authentic and unplanned. Include natural blinking, relaxed breathing, realistic eye movement, subtle posture adjustments, correct body weight shifts, accurate finger anatomy, believable hand interaction with objects, natural walking speed, realistic hair movement, and true-to-life fabric physics. Nothing should resemble acting or posing. Audio Design (Critical): No dialogue, no narration, no subtitles, and absolutely no background music. Tell the story entirely through immersive environmental ASMR. Synchronize every sound naturally with the visuals, including birds singing, gentle wind, wooden floor creaks, curtain movement, dough kneading, ceramic bowls, oven door, running water, leaves rustling, footsteps on grass and stone paths, distant village ambience, market sounds, paper bags, coffee pouring, spoon stirring, page turns, doors opening, evening insects, and quiet countryside room tone. Creative Goal: Deliver a calm, intimate, emotionally grounded slice-of-life film that feels as though it was captured by a real documentary filmmaker. The final result should be so realistic, natural, and immersive that viewers genuinely question whether it was filmed with a real camera rather than generated by AI.
A realistic doorway peephole POV video shot through a ultra wide fisheye lens with a pronounced circular black vignette and curved distortion. The scene takes place in a warmly lit, carpeted apartment hallway with dark doors and warm sconce lights running along the walls. A cheerful young woman with short, bleached blonde pixie cut hair, wearing a casual layered outfit, approaches the camera close up, leaning in and playfully knocking on the lens as if knocking on a door. She holds a large fresh bouquet of white daisies and eucalyptus. She smiles brightly, applies lip balm while looking into the camera, spins around happily, and runs off down the corridor. Next, she returns wearing an oversized cream-colored trench coat carrying a small red gift bag, knocks again, poses, turns, and playfully darts away down the hallway before running back toward the door. Finally, she returns wearing a warm brown sweater, holding a frosted red velvet cake on a glass plate. She knocks on the camera lens, licks frosting off her finger, smiles, blows a kiss directly to the camera lens, and runs off giggling. Natural handheld instability, realistic indoor lighting, handheld camera movement, high definition organic video quality, upbeat indie pop background soundtrack. Aspect ratio 16:9, total duration 20 seconds.
Style: Authentic late-1970s Mediterranean documentary captured on vintage 16mm Kodak film, naturally faded colors, subtle film grain, real optical imperfections, slight gate weave, shoulder-mounted handheld camera with imperfect human movement, soft vintage lenses, warm afternoon sunlight, realistic skin texture, no cinematic polish, feels like forgotten archival footage discovered decades later. 0–3 seconds: A close handheld tracking shot follows a young woman in her 20s walking slowly through a narrow seaside alley lined with whitewashed houses, hanging linen curtains gently moving in the ocean breeze. She wears a simple linen dress, a woven shoulder bag, and naturally messy hair with no makeup. Instead of posing, she lightly brushes her fingertips across the textured walls while quietly observing everyday life around her. 3–7 seconds: The camera naturally falls slightly behind her as she enters a tiny open courtyard where local people casually gather. An elderly man repairs a bicycle, someone waters colorful plants from a balcony above, laundry sways overhead, and a sleepy orange cat crosses directly in front of the lens. The camera subtly adjusts to avoid the cat, creating an authentic human reaction. 7–11 seconds: A young child runs toward a rolling wooden toy that passes close to her feet. She instinctively bends down, catches it with one hand, smiles warmly, and hands it back without stopping her walk. The child laughs and runs away. No one performs for the camera; everything feels naturally observed. 11–15 seconds: She reaches a small overlook facing the sparkling sea. Instead of stopping dramatically, she casually rests one elbow on an old stone railing while watching distant fishing boats. A gust of wind lifts loose strands of hair across her face. She gently moves them aside and continues walking out of frame as the handheld camera hesitates for a second before slowly following behind. Image Quality: Ultra-photorealistic vintage documentary, authentic analog exposure, realistic human motion, organic focus breathing, imperfect framing, Kodak 16mm archival texture, subtle light leaks, soft highlight bloom, natural skin pores, no AI smoothness, 4:3 aspect ratio.
META STYLE Black-and-white 35mm arthouse cinema, 1960s European café-film look. High-contrast monochrome, soft film grain, gentle bloom on the lamps, shallow depth of field on close-ups. LIGHT Night interior lit only by practicals: hanging globe lamps, the espresso machine's glow, and cold light through the window from the lunar plain. Soft key from the window side, deep shadow in the corners, clear catch-lights in the eyes. COLOR None. Full grayscale, rich mid-grays on skin, no tint of any kind. TEXTURE Fine grain. Chrome holds soft rolling reflections, glass refracts the lamps in small bright points, skin keeps visible pore-level texture with no smoothing. MOOD Quiet, intimate, unhurried — a conversation overheard in a place that is ordinary to the people in it. SCENE CONTEXT A near-empty late-night café on the surface of the moon. A man and a woman sit across a small round table beside the wide window, talking about the water. Neither of them ever looks outside. CHARACTERS The woman: early thirties, dark bob haircut, intelligent face, dark turtleneck with the cuffs visible at her wrists, thin earrings, light coat over her chair. She sits camera-left. Identical in every shot. The man: mid-thirties, dark slightly messy hair, light stubble, shadowed under-eyes, dark jacket over an open-collar light shirt, jacket sleeve visible at his wrists. He sits camera-right. Identical in every shot. LOCATION MAP Foreground: their small round table. Her espresso cup and the single tall glass of water sit on her side, close to her right hand. His espresso cup and spoon sit on his side. Nothing else on the table. Midground: small round tables, worn tiled floor, hanging globe lamps, chrome espresso machine at the counter. Background: a wide window along the wall beside them. Beyond the glass, a grey lunar plain with low craters, black sky, and Earth small and low near the horizon. FIRST FRAME / BLOCKING Interior medium two-shot, 47°, eye level. The woman sits camera-left, the man camera-right, the window and lunar plain behind them, café interior deeper in the room. Her hands are around her cup with the water glass beside it, his forearms rest on the table. FORMAT MODE Timed multishot with HARD CUTS only at 6.0s, 8.5s, 11.0s, 13.0s, 16.0s, 19.0s, 22.5s, 25.0s and 28.0s. The camera cuts only at these points. STORYBOARD SHOT 1 (0.0–6.0s) Medium two-shot, 47°, faint 1–2 cm breathing drift. The woman, eyes on him: "Do you think people get more honest when they're tired?" The man answers late, eyes coming up off the table: "No. Their lies just get less inventive." SHOT 2 (6.0–8.5s) Extreme close-up, 12°, of the woman's hands on her side of the table, dark turtleneck cuffs at her wrists. Her fingers leave her cup, lift the tall glass of water, and set it back down in the same place, the water rocking once. The woman, speaking over the image: "It's different tonight." SHOT 3 (8.5–11.0s) Close portrait of the man, 18°, eyes down. The man: "They changed the water." SHOT 4 (11.0–13.0s) Extreme close-up, 12°, of the man's hand on his side of the table, dark jacket sleeve at his wrist, turning his spoon a half-turn on the saucer. The woman, speaking over the image from off-frame: "Again?" SHOT 5 (13.0–16.0s) Medium close-up of the man, 29°, lunar plain soft behind his shoulder, eyes still on his cup. The man: "The old one remembered too much." SHOT 6 (16.0–19.0s) Close-up of the woman, 18°. Her eyes come up and hold his. The woman: "Water can't remember people." SHOT 7 (19.0–22.5s) Medium close-up of the man, 29°. He swallows once, then looks up at her. The man: "Probably not. But people can't remember the past either." SHOT 8 (22.5–25.0s) Medium two-shot, 47°, lunar plain behind them. She leans in slightly. The woman: "Then what do we remember?" SHOT 9 (25.0–28.0s) Close portrait of the man, 18°. One breath, then his eyes come up and hold hers. The man: "The last version we could live with." SHOT 10 (28.0–30.0s) Close-up of the woman, 18°, the lunar plain and black sky soft behind her through the glass. No dialogue. Her face stills, one slow blink, her eyes drop toward her cup and then drift slightly aside. The shot holds on her to the last frame, the image staying full and lit. PERFORMANCE Both faces stay mostly still, so small movements read. Emotion comes through eyelids, brow corners, jaw and breath rather than expression. Blinks work as punctuation — withheld through the important lines, released after. She runs from light and half-joking, to quieter, to genuinely curious, to quiet recognition at the end. He runs from dry amusement, to flat matter-of-fact, to unguarded tiredness on the last line. Living eyes with catch-lights, natural skin, precise lip sync whenever a speaking face is in frame. Every line is delivered unhurried and complete inside its own shot. PHYSICS Steam curls off the cups and the espresso machine. Water rocks and settles in the glass. The cup meets the saucer with weight, the spoon rings faintly on chrome. Nothing beyond the window moves. AUDIO The low hum of an enclosed room, a faint air-system whisper, the hiss of the espresso machine, a spoon against a saucer, a swallow of water. No music anywhere. Voices sit close and dry, as in a small room late at night. OUTPUT SETTINGS Black and white throughout, real-time, no slow motion. POSITIVE LOCKS The image stays fully monochrome in every shot. The woman speaks her five lines and the man speaks his five lines, exactly as assigned in the storyboard, and neither ever speaks the other's words. The single glass of water stays on the woman's side of the table for the whole scene, and only she touches it. The woman stays camera-left and the man camera-right in every two-shot. Hands in the extreme close-ups are identified by sleeve — turtleneck cuff for her, jacket sleeve for him. The table holds only two espresso cups on saucers, two spoons and one glass of water. The interior reads clearly as a café — table, cups, lamps, counter, espresso machine. The window shows a grey lunar plain, black sky and small distant Earth wherever it is visible, and nothing beyond the glass ever moves. Both characters keep their exact appearance and seats across every shot. All ten lines are spoken in full and finish inside their own shot. Cuts land only at the stated seconds. The video ends on the held close-up of the woman's face, the image full and lit to the final frame.
Main Subject: Young Korean woman, early 20s, natural everyday appearance, oversized faded t-shirt tucked into shorts, hair tied up in a claw clip, minimal makeup, realistic skin texture, cheerful relaxed personality. Location: Small house window facing a quiet residential alley, mid-morning. Wooden window frame, a bucket of soapy water on the ledge, potted plants nearby, soft sunlight. No commercial elements.

Audio: Cloth squeaking on glass, water dripping, faint birds, distant street sounds. Her dialogue as noted above. No music. Goal: A quiet, satisfying weekend chore moment grounded, warm, believable.
ジャパニーズホラーの空気感。彩度を落とした病的な緑と灰色のアンダートーンによるカラーグレーディング。腰から上のトラッキングショットのワンカット長回し。青いストライプのボタンダウンシャツにカーキのチノパンを着た少年が、霧に沈んだ静まり返った日本の田舎の集落の通りを走っている。少年の顔は静かな恐怖に震え、目には今にもこぼれそうな涙が光り、口は声にならない嗚咽をこらえるように薄く開いている。カメラはゆっくりとした意図的な手持ちの動きで少年に寄り添うように漂う。集落は不気味なほど静か。濃い白い霧が家々の間に低く垂れ込め、すべての音を吸い込んでいる。通りのあちこちに、苔・蔦・絡まった緑の葉で全身が覆われた人型の存在が、ゆっくりと硬直したゾンビのような歩き方で、濡れた路面に足を引きずりながら歩いている。その動きは機械的で不自然。一部は少年が通り過ぎると顔のない苔の頭をゆっくりと回し、別の個体は不気味な遅延動作で蔦の腕を伸ばす。音楽はなし、濡れた足音とかすかな水滴の音だけ。少年は通りの植物人間をすり抜け、木造家屋の間の狭い路地へ入る。カメラは薄暗い通路を追う。路地にも数体の植物人間が同じ遅いゾンビ歩きでのろのろと移動しており、苔むしたシルエットが薄暗い中で黒い木の壁と見分けがつかない。少年は脇をすり抜け、必死に日本家屋の引き戸を押し開けて中に入る。カメラは室内へ続く——薄暗い和風建築の内部が一瞬映る。板張りの廊下がまっすぐ奥へ伸び、両側の部屋は開いた襖の向こうに畳の間が見え、壁には黒カビのシミ、あらゆる表面に湿気が光り腐敗を暗示する。廊下や部屋の中を植物人間が同じ硬直したゾンビ歩きでゆっくりと移動している。苔の体がほぼ暗闇の中で蠢く。少年はすぐに奥の出口を見つける——廊下の突き当たりの木の戸。軋む板張りの廊下を駆け抜ける。廊下にいた植物人間がゆっくりと体を回し、少年が通り過ぎる際に苔の腕を伸ばす。少年は裏手の戸を引き開け、家の裏の灰色の曇天の下に広がる畑へとよろめき出る。カメラは地面近くまで下がり、ニンジンの葉や大根の葉の列の間から向こう側を覗く。背景に少年が畑を横切って走る姿が霧の中にぼんやり見える。長く居心地の悪い間。やがて手前の葉が震え始める——激しくではなく、ゆっくりと忍び寄るような震え。暗く湿った土の中から、実物と同じサイズの大根・ニンジン・カブが、腕や脚のような根の形をして音もなく地面から這い出してくる——どれも拳ひとつ分から前腕ほどの実際の野菜の大きさ。最初はゆっくりと現れ、青白い体から土がぼろぼろと崩れ落ち、やがて速度を上げて土の上をよちよちと歩き出す。囁きと叫びの間のような細く甲高いキーキー音を発する。畑のあらゆる畝から数百体が姿を現す。カメラがゆっくりと上がり少年を捉える。少年は立ち止まっている。足元を見下ろす。表情が困惑から純粋な恐怖へと変わる。小さな根菜たちが足元に群がり、何十本ものニンジン・白い大根・丸いカブが靴にしがみつきズボンの裾をよじ登る。少年は震えながら振り払おうとするが、四方八方からさらに押し寄せる——キーキー鳴く小さな野菜の潮流が黒い土の上を流れるように少年へ向かってくる。少年は膝をつく。カメラがゆっくりと安定した軌道で少年を中心に回り始める。Jホラー映画のような冷静な客観性をもって。根菜たちが細い鳴き声の合間の沈黙の中で積み重なっていく——胴体をよじ登り、腕をつかみ、肩と背中に群がる。少年の嗚咽が空っぽの畑に響く。少年は仰向けに倒れ込み、まだ弱々しく根菜を押し返そうとしている。カメラは急がない軌道で回り続け、根菜が層を成して少年を埋めていく——脚が消え、胸が覆われ、腕が飲み込まれる。叫びがくぐもり、やがて無音になる。青いストライプシャツの最後の一片が、数百体の小さな野菜が蠢く塚の下に消える。カメラが緩やかにやや高い位置へと上昇する——真俯瞰ではなく、軽いハイアングルで脈打つ根菜の塚を見下ろす。この視点から畑の全体が四方に広がる。あらゆる畝、あらゆる溝から、無数の小さな根菜——ニンジン、大根、カブ——が根の足で土から出てきて、中央の塚に向かって静かに途切れることなく行進を続けている。果てしない、音のない行列。音響：濡れた足音、水滴、木の軋み、かすかな風、遠い囁きのように層を成す細い甲高い鳴き声、土が静かに裂ける音、少年の叫びがくぐもった沈黙へと消えていく、土の上を根が這う静かなざわめき。
CAMERA / LOOK: Handheld mini DV camcorder footage filmed by the subject herself. Slight hand shake, occasional focus hunting, imperfect framing, natural zoom adjustments, soft tape-like image quality, subtle grain, realistic auto-exposure shifts from bright open-sky daylight. Natural skin tones, mild motion blur, authentic consumer camcorder aesthetic rather than polished cinematic footage. STYLE: Cozy outdoor kite-flying vlog with gentle ASMR elements. Relaxed pacing, minimal dialogue, candid moments, natural pauses. Focus on satisfying everyday sounds: kite fabric flapping in the wind, string spool unwinding, grass rustling underfoot, light breeze against the microphone. SUBJECT: Young woman in her mid-20s, plain windbreaker, hair tied back in a loose ponytail, minimal jewelry, no visible logos or branded items. Cheerful, carefree energy on a breezy afternoon. SETTING: Small open field on a bright breezy afternoon. Wide open sky, plain grass field, no visible signage, buildings with branding, or logos anywhere in frame. STORYBOARD: → (3s, propped medium shot) Places camera on a low tripod in the grass, unrolls a plain kite. "Perfect windy day for this." → (3s, overhead shot) Unwinds the string spool, checking it's free of tangles. → (3s, close-up) Attaches the string firmly to the kite frame. → (3s, handheld shot) Walks backward a few steps, testing the wind direction. "Feels strong enough today." → (3s, detail shot) Releases the kite gently into the air. No dialogue. → (3s, medium shot) Watches it climb higher, letting the string out slowly. "There it goes." → (3s, macro shot) Kite fabric flapping steadily against the open sky. → (3s, propped shot) Sits down on the grass, holding the string loosely. → (3s, warm ending shot) Looks up at the kite soaring, happy smile. "Love days like this." → (5s, final shot) Reels the string in slowly, glances toward camera. "See you next time." Reaches down and covers the lens as recording ends. AUDIO NOTES: Natural outdoor ambience — kite flapping, string unwinding, breeze, grass rustling should be clearly audible. Dialogue quiet and casual, as if speaking to a small personal audience. REALISM NOTES: Authentic body language, natural blinking, genuine cheerful smiles, occasional pauses adjusting the string, imperfect framing, focus breathing, bright open-sky lighting shifts. No copyrighted characters, logos, brand names, or recognizable public figures anywhere in frame. Fully original personal vlog content, not AI-generated or commercial in style.

15-second cinematic short "Painted Face," one continuous Steadicam take, macro opening, silky focus pulls. Character: a young Kunqu actress in a pink embroidered costume, pale-pink long water sleeves, blue-and-silver kingfisher headdress, classical opera makeup — keep face and costume consistent for face-swap. Setting: a plain opera backstage dressing room — old wood vanity, rouge box, rosewood comb, scattered hairpins, red curtain hanging in the distance, faint figures and whispers, warm yellow-red low light, vintage Eastern film look, shallow depth of field. 0-4s: macro slow push on the vanity, stop on her hand resting on the table edge; ring finger barely curls, wrist turns slowly, water sleeve ripples. 4-8s: camera arcs up along the hand to a half-body; she tilts her head, lids lowered, right hand lightly strokes her chin, left shoulder slightly collapsed under quiet weight. From second 5, a long ethereal Kunqu bamboo flute enters; backstage noise fades. 8-11s: motion strengthens — fingertips stop, hand slides along jaw and collarbone to the heart, five fingers press the fabric, breath catches; head lifts, shoulders set, spine slowly straightens, neck lengthens. 11-13s: slight orbit; the hand at her heart draws a soft strong arc with the water sleeve as she rises — not sudden, extremely steady — waist, shoulders, neck, and back lock inch by inch. 13-15s: she half-turns toward the stage entrance or a strong light; sleeve falls, beads sway; eyes look far then slowly return — old wound, acceptance, refusal, sacrifice, resolve — no tears, no shout, only fully standing as the stage character. Hold half a second, soft fade. Avoid pretty ancient-costume portrait vibe, exaggerated sleeve flourishes, heavy stage stylization, shaky camera.
[Style] High-concept filter-comes-alive comedy, photoreal + intentional digital beauty-filter distortion, vertical 9:16, warm apartment entryway into harsh doorway backlight. Two performers who are the SAME face in two states. [Duration] 30 seconds [Scene] Woman's rental entryway — warm yellow light, full-length mirror, coat hook with lipstick nearby; opening the door blasts daylight. [Characters — face-swap friendly] Real her: natural bare-face look — visible pores, faint under-eye circles, casual hair, pretty but real. Filter her: same face over-beautified — plastic glow skin, enlarged pupils, pointed chin, thick false lashes, occasional digital after-image. Distinguish only by real vs over-filtered texture — never two different people. Core: Filter-her crawls out of the phone, fights to go out, then "dies in daylight" when the door opens. [00:00-00:03] Hook — screen moves. Real-her selfie-phones with max beauty, duckface, then lowers the phone to open the door. Filter-her on the screen doesn't lower — props her chin, yawns. Filter (lazy): "Ha— I'm exhausted holding this angle. Your jaw isn't sore — mine is." [00:03-00:06] Crawls out. Real nearly drops the phone. Filter climbs out over the bezel like a window, stretches, plastic sheen, lash flutter, one digital glitch. [00:06-00:09] Mutual shade. Filter looks Real up and down; Real stares at the plastic twin. Filter (eyebrow up): "Those pores and circles and you still meet the date? Today I'm going." She yanks the coat off the hook. [00:09-00:13] Doorway tug. Real grabs the coat back; rapid-fire fight. Real: "He asked for me!" Filter: "He likes this face!" [00:13-00:16] Ambush. Doorbell. Filter shoves Real off-frame, fixes hair, perfect angle, opens the door smug. [00:16-00:20] Dies in daylight (memory moment). Door swings; hard daylight hits — Filter glitches: face scales, features drift, mosaic, plastic color blocks, bad-stream stutter. Harsh static + stutter beeps. [00:20-00:24] Visitor backs up (silhouette only, half-step back). Filter panics, glitches worse, mechanical fault tones. [00:24-00:27] Real wins. Real walks into the sunlight — natural, clear, actually beautiful — grabs the flickering Filter, stuffs her back into the phone like trash, dusts hands. [00:27-00:30] Hold. Real turns and smiles at the doorway visitor; sun on a real face. Punchline card: "Filters feel great until daylight." Filter-glitch kills the BGM; clean ding on the smile. Rules: same face dual-state only; filter after-image foreshadows the glitch; glitch ONLY on door-open daylight; fast 2-3s reaction beats; accurate lipsync; Real ends pretty not ugly; visitor is silhouette only. Negatives: two different faces, uglifying Real, early glitch, weak daylight fail, face-swap between them into other people, stiff acting, brand logos, watermarks, minors.
