Locked wide shot. The subject from the reference photo stands in a rainy, neon-lit alleyway. 0-2s she gives a confident nod to the camera and begins a rhythmic hip-hop bounce. 2-4s as she hits the beat, vibrant digital glitch clones of herself stutter out from her body, lagging slightly behind her movements like a visual echo. 4-6s she performs a wide arm sweep, and the glitch clones magically fan out into a perfect backup dancer formation, moving in total sync. 6-8s she hits a sharp shoulder pop, and the clones violently glitch with colorful neon static. 8-10s she snaps her fingers; all clones instantly suck back into her main body, and she strikes a final crossed-arm pose with a cool smirk. Upbeat heavy bass EDM track with digital glitch sound effects. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
