Slow push-in tracking shot. The subject from the reference photo sits at a desk crafting a paper pet. 0-2s she holds up a neatly folded origami paper bird, presenting her handiwork to the camera with a proud smile. 2-6s she cups the paper bird in her palms and gently blows on it, whispering a magical word; the paper folds begin to glow from within with warm golden light. 6-8s the paper bird suddenly animates, shaking its paper wings and lifting off from her hands into mid-air, shedding a trail of tiny glowing embers. 8-10s she watches it circle her head, her eyes wide with childlike wonder, laughing softly and reaching out to touch its glowing wing. Soft acoustic guitar + magical chime sound effects. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
