Selfie-stick tracking shot following the subject as she walks. The subject from the reference photo walks down a wet, neon-lit cyberpunk alleyway vlogging for her audience. 0-2s she strolls forward holding a coffee cup, smiling broadly and talking directly to the viewers. 2-4s a sudden, heavy VHS-style chromatic glitch tears across the screen, and she physically snaps back three steps to her exact starting position. 4-6s she drops her smile, looking around the alleyway in complete bewilderment, waving her free hand in the air to test reality. 6-8s she steps forward cautiously, reaches out, and her hand creates a massive glowing, liquid ripple in the temporal space in front of her. 8-10s she gasps in amazement, pointing excitedly at the glowing anomaly for the camera to see. Dark synthwave music with heavy digital stutter and rewind sound effects. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
