The exact prompt
This request includes exactly one image. It is the literal starting frame for this shot, not a general design reference. Begin from its camera, lighting, subjects and object placement, then perform the complete action described in this request. Keep all visible designs stable while allowing the stated physical motion. Create one continuous 16:9 photorealistic moving shot. Play the described action at natural speed over six seconds. If a longer clip is produced, sustain the scene naturally without adding an event. Use genuine object movement and depth-dependent parallax where requested. No internal cuts, dissolves, transitions, titles, narration or generated underscore. Maintain rigid objects, plausible contact and stable identities throughout. Use photorealistic observational cinema, natural exposure and tactile material detail. Use rectilinear optics, soft highlight roll-off and very fine restrained grain. Preserve the difference between cool daylight, dry late sunlight and blue-black night; warm rooms have practical amber light. Give distant scenery atmospheric depth and keep foreground objects physically solid. People are comfortably dressed and absorbed in ordinary life. Architecture is personal and spacious. Avoid glossy resort advertising, decorative science-fiction clutter, excessive lens flare, fisheye distortion, posed glamour, captions, lettering, logos and borders. This place occupies the inward-facing surface of a completed rotating space habitat: an open bracelet 3,000,000 kilometres in diameter, with a 6,000-kilometre-wide living strip and mostly transparent, sloped retaining walls 1,000 kilometres high at its lateral edges. A natural star far outside the bracelet provides daylight. The local landscape is almost flat, with extremely slight concavity along its length. Air, weather, water and vegetation are real. There is no roof, dome, central artificial sun, supporting spoke or planet inside the bracelet. Ordinary transport infrastructure is mostly concealed. Show no sky-band unless this composition explicitly asks for one. Reedwater House stands on a low shelf beside a sheltered inlet. It is an asymmetrical two-storey home of weathered grey timber and pale stone, with two unequal dark-slate pitched roof sections. A tall narrow chimney stands on the right of its waterfront facade. One large kitchen window has a warm amber interior. A lower glazed dining wing adjoins the main building on its left and opens onto a stone terrace. A long timber dining table stands OUTSIDE on that terrace immediately in front of the open glazed doors. A plain wooden bag bench stands against the exterior wall just left of those doors. A forked, wind-bent tree stands farther left of the dining wing. From the water-facing approach, the house is in the right third and open water fills the centre and left. A short timber jetty projects diagonally from this shore toward the lower-left foreground. Beyond the open water lie two unequal headlands, a low hooked island between them and a distant ridge with one V-shaped notch. Keep the inlet physically continuous; the headlands and island do not surround the house as a decorative moat. Show only architectural features actually visible from the camera. The household boat is one small dark-green open hull with a low grey-green gunwale and plain timber seating. Its movement is smooth and gentle without visible violent propulsion. Its current location is specified by the scene; never place a duplicate of this boat at the jetty. Aren is a woman around 35 years old, with light skin, an oval face, dark brown eyes behind slim rectangular dark teal-blue eyeglasses, a slender straight nose, defined lips and a slim build. Their dark-brown hair falls to the shoulders, parted near the centre and worn loose with a slight natural wave. Their face has softly contoured cheeks, a gently tapered jaw and a rounded chin, with natural skin texture appropriate to a woman in her mid-thirties. Preserve this female casting and age consistently in every view; do not age Aren into middle age or substitute a male traveller. They wear a loose blue-grey linen jacket, a narrow muted rust-red scarf, charcoal trousers and dark flat walking shoes. Their appearance is relaxed and unposed, with realistic proportions. Keep the facial proportions, shoulder-length dark-brown hair and rectangular glasses consistent across camera angles. Hair has no contrasting temple streak. Do not mirror the person or add jewellery, uniform elements or a spacesuit. There is exactly one compact rust-coloured canvas shoulder bag, with a rounded flap, exactly one dull brass buckle and one oval cream repair patch low on its front. A plain canvas shoulder strap connects to the sides; a short top handle provides a handhold. The bag is lightly worn and carefully repaired. Its front details are physical fabric and hardware, with no logos, extra buckles, duplicate patches or ornamental distressing. This camera is level, unrolled and aimed approximately anti-spinward along the ring circumference, close to the strip's mid-width plane. In this rectilinear view the centreline of the distant illuminated habitat projects nearly vertically in the sky, rising from the distant notched-ridge direction near the middle of the frame and continuing out of the top edge. The zenith lies outside this landscape image. Show an extremely narrow silver-blue ribbon that tapers with distance, with lower sections lost in haze and nearer cloud occluding it. It belongs to the continuous ground-bearing ring under the observer. There is no separate hoop above a planet. Do not resolve continents or buildings in the sky-band. Do not draw a rainbow arch, horizontal Saturn-like belt, wide road across the sky, glowing portal, artificial sun or supporting spokes. Preserve believable night exposure; the house light remains more prominent than the ribbon. VISIBLE SUBJECTS Only Aren's sleeve appears; face and full body are outside the frame. SCENE AND ACTION Night from the low seat of a dark-green boat making a gentle approach over a sheltered inlet. A grey-green gunwale, a blue-grey jacket sleeve and the repaired bag occupy the lower edge. On the right shore, the timber-and-stone house has unequal slate roofs, a narrow chimney, amber kitchen window and open dining wing. The terrace table is immediately outside its doors. The forked tree stands to the wing's left. The diagonal jetty is empty and waiting for this single approaching boat. Ripples interrupt the reflected warm light; the headlands and notched ridge remain distant. CAMERA AND MOTION 28 mm-equivalent seated-eye view facing approximately anti-spinward, level and unrolled. Gentle forward boat movement with slight buoyant bob. Maintain the very thin, nearly vertical sky ribbon in fixed relationship to the distant landscape. No strong propulsion, train vibration or airship frame. LOCATION SOUND Water along the hull, leaves in a light shore wind and a faint domestic clink. No intelligible speech or sentimental score. Keep the scene continuous. Do not add an unrequested person, duplicate object, transformation or camera move. Keep the starting-frame exposure and time of day stable for the full six seconds. Preserve all visible identities, including Aren as a woman in her mid-thirties whenever any face becomes visible. No intelligible speech, articulated dialogue, singing or music; only the stated location ambience. Machines retain their simple hovering shells with no human face, limbs or servant body. Keep blue-black night and practical amber lights; do not brighten into daylight.
