The Human Movement Prompt

Describe human movement in this shot.

What the person is doing: [DESCRIBE]
Shot size: [SPECIFY]
Duration: [SECONDS]

Produce:
1. The movement described so it reads as natural rather than as
   animation
2. Posture, weight distribution, and where the movement originates
3. Pace and rhythm
4. What the hands are doing — or, preferably, why they are not
   visible
5. Face and eyeline
6. The prompt text

Critical constraints:
- Hands doing anything precise will not generate cleanly. Design
  the shot so hands are out of frame, in shadow, or occupied with
  something simple.
- Faces at close range are unreliable across a full clip. Consider
  whether this needs to be closer than a medium shot.
- Walking is the most reliable human motion. Sitting to standing,
  reaching, and turning are considerably harder.
- Two people interacting is much harder than one person alone.

Then: the version of this shot that would generate most reliably,
even if it is not exactly what I described.
