The Living Still

Bring a still image to life with minimal motion. Starting
frame: [DESCRIBE THE STILL YOU ARE ANIMATING]. Add only
[ONE SUBTLE MOTION — e.g. drifting steam, a slow blink,
hair in a light breeze, rippling water]. Everything else
holds exactly as the still.

Camera: locked off, or a very slow push in. The composition
of the still is preserved; the frame barely changes.

Lens and light: match the still exactly — do not re-light
or re-grade. Depth of field, direction of light and colour
stay as they are in the source frame.

Tone: as the still. No stylistic drift from the reference.

No new elements. No text. No change to the subject's
identity, pose, or wardrobe. Nothing enters frame.
