Prompt SegA

A 12-second vertical 9:16 educational short, an East Asian knowledge-worker character sharing a productivity method. Segment A of a 2-segment 25s video. 3 shots, documentary realism style (NOT AI-art aesthetic, NOT 3D render, NOT illustration). Conversational quick pace, slightly faster than typical narration (about 1.1x speed feel).

[Character Lock]
The character is an East Asian person in their late 20s to early 30s, focused expression, casual professional appearance. Wearing a dark cotton long-sleeve button-up shirt, no jacket, with a small black lavalier microphone clipped at the collar. Hair tied back or short and neat. Clean-shaven or minimal stubble. Same outfit and appearance across all 3 shots. Natural skin texture with visible pores, NOT smooth plastic, NOT over-smoothed. Real photograph quality.

[Setting Lock]
Modern home office. Wooden desk with a silver monitor visible in soft focus on the left side. Wooden bookshelf with books, pens, and a small plant in the background. Large window on the right with diffused natural daylight. Apple keyboard and a small notebook on the desk surface. Warm wood-toned aesthetic.

[Voice Lock]
English language with neutral accent, voice age 28-32, energetic but composed, authoritative-yet-warm tone. Short sentences, no trailing pauses. Conversational quick pace. Audio begins at 0.5 seconds into Shot 1.

[Camera Grammar]
Stable medium shot 70%, push-in close 30%. Cuts seamless, no whip pan blur. Each cut triggered by transition to a new information point.

Shot 1 (0 to 3 seconds) — Hook: The character sits at desk, slight downward gaze toward the monitor, calm contemplative expression with a hint of skeptical curiosity. Camera medium close-up from straight on, eye-level, slow push-in (subtle zoom across 3 seconds). Voiceover in matter-of-fact tone with subtle challenge: "How long does it take to write a report?" Mouth movement strictly synchronized to dialogue.

Shot 2 (3 to 7 seconds) — Pain: Cut to character looking up at camera, three-quarter right side angle, focused engaged expression with slight raised eyebrow. Camera medium shot, static. Voiceover in slightly incredulous tone: "Research, draft, edit, polish — half a day?" Mouth movement strictly synchronized.

Shot 3 (7 to 12 seconds) — Promise: Character holds the same three-quarter angle, expression shifts from incredulous to confident-teaching. Subtle forward push-in (very slight, building intensity). Voiceover in confident teaching tone: "I compress it into one focused session. Here's how —" Mouth movement strictly synchronized. Final 0.3 second hold ends in a slight knowing smile, ready for transition to next segment.

[Quality directives]
The character's facial features remain consistent across all 3 shots — same face, same hair, same dark cotton shirt, same black lavalier mic at collar. Hands have natural anatomy with five fingers and correct proportions. Skin shows natural texture with pores and subtle imperfections, not over-smoothed plastic. Eyes remain stable and focused without flickering or jitter. Mouth movement strictly synchronizes to assigned dialogue per shot — closed and still otherwise. Lip-sync precise to each English syllable. Lighting consistent with natural daylight from the window throughout. Documentary realism throughout, NOT AI-art aesthetic, NOT 3D render, NOT illustration.
