Slow push-in tracking shot. The subject from the reference photo sits at a desk, filming a secret discovery vlog. 0-2s she leans into the camera, holding her hands tightly cupped together, whispering 'I finally caught one'. 2-4s she slowly opens her hands to reveal a tiny, glowing, hyper-realistic baby dragon curled up asleep in her palms. 4-6s the mini dragon wakes up, stretches its scaly wings, and lets out a tiny puff of sparkling blue smoke. 6-8s the dragon flutters up into the air and gracefully lands on her shoulder. 8-10s she turns her head to look at it with a warm, amazed smile, and gently strokes its chin with one finger. Gentle acoustic fantasy music + cute animal chirps + her English whispering. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
