"positivePrompt": "Using the provided first frame as the opening composition, create a 6-second cinematic shot in a rainy Japanese alley at night. The camera makes a slow gentle push-in toward the noodle stall. Steam rises continuously from pots, rain ripples across puddles, lantern light flickers softly, and neon reflections shimmer on the wet pavement. A scooter passes through the distant background once, slightly out of focus. The seated customer shifts posture and lowers the umbrella a little, while the cook turns to lift noodles from a pot. Keep the scene grounded and realistic, with stable framing, smooth motion, moody urban atmosphere, natural parallax, and high-detail textures.",

The camera makes a slow graceful dolly forward toward the lone dancer at center.

Chandeliers sway gently overhead, suspended dust and bubbles shimmer in beams of sunlight from the fractured ceiling, and loose papers glide across the marble floor.

The shot begins wide and slowly rises forward, passing fluttering banners and swaying rope bridges while fine snow streams through the air. Warm lantern light glows from carved windows against the blue-white ice. Tiny pilgrims climb the stairway, their cloaks shifting in the wind. Snow dust drifts from high ledges, clouds slide across the sky, and the camera finishes near the main gate with grand scale, realistic lighting, smooth motion, and strong depth.",

Coral clings to carved arches, the mosaic floor emerges through clear water, and the mood feels hushed, sacred, and dreamlike.
