Locked medium shot. The subject from the reference photo stands in a modern hallway. 0-2s she frames her fingers into a rectangle, smiling confidently at the camera. 2-4s she pulls her hands apart, tearing open a glowing portal in mid-air that reveals a raging snowy blizzard landscape inside. 4-6s she leans forward to peek inside the portal, her eyes widening in awe as she narrates what she sees. 6-8s a massive blast of snow and wind erupts violently through the portal into the room, whipping her hair backward as she gasps. 8-10s she quickly claps her hands together, snapping the portal completely shut, and laughs while shivering at the camera. Epic synth rise + howling wind sound effects. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
