Midnight Diner Encounter
A diner photo extended into a slow lateral dolly: one glance, two cups, steam in tungsten light.

The prompt
The counter, the cups and both people stay exactly as in the reference image. A slow lateral dolly slides right along the laminate, past a cooling cup, and settles on the woman as she turns her head a few degrees toward the man opposite; steam drifts between them. One warm tungsten pendant hangs overhead and everything else falls to near black, until a passing car sweeps one cold stripe across the window. 16mm grain, muted teal shadows. Audio: a refrigerator hum, a cup set down.

Why it works
Image-to-video lives or dies on what it is told not to touch, so the first sentence pins the counter, the cups and both faces. Everything after that spends words on one small performance, a head turn measured in degrees, which is the kind of motion a five second clip can finish without warping faces. The passing car is the only moving light and it gives the shot a start and an end.
What to put in the reference image
Upload a photo of a lit diner or bar counter with one or two people seated and a clean foreground. Avoid busy composite images, heavily blurred backgrounds or a camera angle you do not want the shot to inherit, because the model keeps the framing it is given.
