Static locked high-angle medium shot. The subject from the reference photo sits at a wooden table, performing a magical showcase for the viewers. 0-2s she looks at the camera with an excited smile, then drags her index finger across the empty wooden surface. 2-6s following her finger's path, a hyper-realistic, glowing miniature sci-fi city magically extrudes from the wood, complete with tiny glowing skyscrapers and moving hover-cars. 6-8s she leans in incredibly close to the table, her eyes wide with childlike wonder, watching a tiny flying vehicle zip right past her nose. 8-10s she looks back up at the camera, laughing in disbelief, and points down at her bustling mini-metropolis. Upbeat synthwave music + ambient futuristic city hum + no English narration. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
