Static locked medium shot. The subject from the reference photo films a vlog in an elegant art gallery. 0-2s she stands next to a large framed oil painting of a forest, pointing her phone at it and whispering to her viewers. 2-6s she leans in close, gesturing at the canvas, when suddenly a painted blue butterfly magically detaches from the artwork, transforming into a glowing, 3D bioluminescent insect. 6-8s she gasps and flinches back in surprise as the glowing butterfly flutters around her head and lands delicately on her nose. 8-10s she crosses her eyes trying to look at it, bursting into a silent, delighted laugh. English whispered vlog narration + soft classical piano + magical flutter sound effect. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
