Static locked medium shot in a single continuous take. The subject from the reference photo stands behind a sleek wooden table in a bright apartment, holding a tiny thumb-sized miniature cardboard delivery box on an open palm while facing the camera. 0-2s the subject holds the miniature parcel close to the lens with an amused pout and says in English, 'My eleven-eleven haul arrived way too small... hold on, let me zoom in.' 2-6s the subject places the tiny box on the table, frames it in mid-air between both thumbs and index fingers, and performs a wide touchscreen pinch-to-zoom outward gesture; a glowing cyan AR bounding-box grid locks onto the parcel as it smoothly expands into a full-size luxury gift trunk on the table. 6-8s the oversized trunk pops its lid open in a fountain of golden confetti as glowing silk ribbons and floating designer shopping bags levitate into the air, making the subject gasp and clap both hands to cheeks in excitement. 8-10s the subject plucks a floating golden gift bag from mid-air, winks at the camera, and says, 'Best upgrade ever.' Upbeat trendy electro-pop track, futuristic UI zoom whoosh and confetti pop effects, and clear English narration. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.Frequently asked questions
