First Sight, Episode 2: "Also yours." Make Episode 2 of an AI short drama series. Episode 1 is attached (first_sight_ep01.mp4): 1990s Manhattan, late October. She nearly collides with a man on a brownstone sidewalk ("Sorry." / "My fault."), walks on, realises her right pearl earring is gone, turns back, and he is standing far down the street holding it up: "You dropped something." Episode 2 picks up from that exact moment (ep01_last_frame.jpg). The series is called "First Sight", and this episode quietly breaks that idea: he is holding TWO identical pearl earrings, and he seems to have met her before. She has no memory of him. Don't explain anything. The episode ends on the question, not the answer. Deliver one finished vertical video for Instagram Reels: 1080x1920, 24 fps, about 28 seconds (five cuts of 4-6 s plus a 2.5 s end card), with sound. ATTACHED REFERENCES. Use them on every cut, always in this order: - image 1 = HER (her_sheet.jpg): face, hair, wardrobe, autumn street light - image 2 = HIM (him_sheet.jpg): face, tousled hair, wardrobe - image 3 = ep01_last_frame.jpg: the last frame of Episode 1 (street, light, where they stand) Once cut 1 is approved you may use its last frame as image 3 for the later cuts. THE EPISODE. Beats and dialogue are fixed; you direct the shots. 1. ~4 s. The opening image, and the hook: a close insert of his open palm, held perfectly still at chest height. On it lie TWO identical small pearl drop earrings on thin gold hooks, catching the low sun. Her shadow falls across his hand as she arrives. No faces. No dialogue. 2. ~5 s. Her close-up. She looks down at his palm, then slowly raises her left hand to her LEFT ear and touches the pearl earring that is still there. Her RIGHT ear is bare. Confusion. No dialogue. 3. ~6 s. Profile two-shot, an arm's length apart, his open palm still between them. HER (quietly): "That one's mine. Whose is that?" HIM: "Also yours." 4. ~5 s. Her close-up. She searches his face for something she should remember and can't find it. HER: "We've never met." 5. ~6 s. His first frontal close-up of the series (Episode 1 never showed his face straight on). Low sun in his hair, a loose strand over his forehead. A small, sad half-smile. HIM: "Last October, you said that too." Hold on him after the line. End card ~2.5 s: "Episode 3?" CONTINUITY LOCKS. These drifted in Episode 1 whenever they weren't stated loudly. - Her RIGHT ear is bare. A single pearl drop earring in her LEFT ear only (the character block below says "earrings"; in this episode she wears only the left one). - The two earrings in his palm are identical to hers. His palm stays open and still; the fingers never move. - Her ivory cashmere coat is DRAPED OVER HER SHOULDERS LIKE A CAPE, arms NOT in the sleeves. Write it in capitals in every prompt. - His other hand stays in his coat pocket. SERIES LOOK. Paste these blocks unchanged into every video prompt. Film look: Single continuous shot, 1990s Manhattan, Upper West Side brownstone street in late October, late-afternoon low sun. Shot on 35mm motion picture film, Kodak 5219 look, fine organic grain, gentle halation on backlit highlights, natural skin texture, no digital sharpness. Characters: CHARACTERS (keep faces, hair and wardrobe exactly as in the reference images): THE WOMAN from image 1: long voluminous honey-blonde 90s blowout hair, blue-grey eyes, small pearl drop earrings, thin gold chain, floor-length ivory satin cowl-neck slip gown under an ivory cashmere long coat DRAPED OVER HER SHOULDERS LIKE A CAPE, arms not in the sleeves, one hand holding the coat closed at her chest. THE MAN from image 2: golden-brown tousled hair with a loose strand falling over his forehead, blue eyes, light stubble, camel wool overcoat over a black shirt open at the collar, thin silver chain, black trousers, hands in coat pockets. Light and color: LIGHT AND COLOR: warm low sun, rim light through her hair, soft bounce fill on faces, long shadows across the sidewalk, warm amber and honey palette with soft teal shadows, gentle contrast, slightly lifted blacks, period film grade. Closing: PERFORMANCE: naturalistic, understated, restrained film acting, no posing, no staring, no exaggerated expressions. AUDIO: quiet street ambience, distant traffic, leaves underfoot, dialogue spoken naturally in English with clear lip sync, no music. (Cuts without dialogue: no dialogue.) NO on-screen text, no subtitles, no captions, no watermark, no modern cars, no phones, no extra people in the foreground. RULES THAT KEPT EPISODE 1 FROM LOOKING AI - One camera move per cut, and it has a reason. - Hands hold one still pose per cut. No gestures that need finger articulation. - Nobody stops without a reason. - Never ask the video model for text. Burn subtitles in afterwards. POST - English dialogue subtitles, burned in: clean sans-serif, off-white with a thin outline, bottom-centre, all text kept between y 250 and y 1480 so Instagram's UI doesn't cover it. Time them to the lines as actually spoken. - No hook line or explanation at the start. The episode opens straight on the two earrings. A small "FIRST SIGHT / EPISODE 2" title may fade in over cut 2, top-centre, as in Episode 1. - End card on a warm near-black background: "FIRST SIGHT · EPISODE 2", a large "Episode 3?", then credit lines naming the LLM, skill and video model you actually used. - No watermark, no logos. Also hand back a short making-of note: the prompt you sent for each cut, how many takes each cut needed, and what you rejected and why.
