    Video prompt
    @[Video 1](video_1)
    Use the uploaded REFERENCE VIDEO as the ABSOLUTE MOTION MASTER.
    OUTPUT:
    16:9 HORIZONTAL LANDSCAPE ONLY.
    Preserve the original duration, approximately 23.8 seconds.
    Preserve the original horizontal field of view.
    THIS IS VIDEO-TO-VIDEO TRANSFORMATION.
    The final result must still be immediately recognizable as the exact original reference video.
    REFERENCE VIDEO CONTROLS:
    exact action sequence
    exact character movement
    exact head turns
    exact hand movement
    exact finger movement
    exact camera direction
    exact camera path
    exact general framing
    exact timing of each major action
    exact extreme close-up timing
    exact swing around the back of his head
    exact final product push toward camera
    BUT:
    You MAY ENHANCE the existing movement dramatically using:
    speed ramps
    lighting transitions
    lens flares
    dynamic Korean supers
    dramatic sound effects
    commercial-grade color grading
    macro skincare visualization
    focus pulls
    subtle camera shake accents
    atmospheric particles
    product lighting
    transitions motivated by the existing movement
    DO NOT replace the source choreography.
    Enhance the existing video rather than inventing a new one.
    MAIN CHARACTER IDENTITY LOCK:
    Keep the EXACT SAME MAN from the reference video.
    Preserve:
    face shape
    jaw
    cheeks
    eyes
    eyelids
    eyebrows
    nose
    lips
    ears
    earrings
    hairstyle
    hairline
    body build
    black T-shirt
    He may look more polished and attractive because of:
    flattering light
    better skin rendering
    cleaner color grading
    stronger eye catchlights
    more premium hair rendering
    healthier complexion
    But he must remain unmistakably the same person.
    DO NOT:
    replace him with a Korean idol
    make his face thinner
    change his jaw
    change his nose
    enlarge his eyes
    change hairstyle
    change age
    The improvement must come from cinematography and skincare, not facial redesign.
    PRODUCT:
    SIA Moisturiser
    Premium Korean skincare packaging.
    Deep blue bottle or jar.
    Minimal luxury design.
    Normal real-world skincare size.

    glossy commercial cinematography
    energetic Korean TV commercial

    The comedy comes from treating an ordinary dry-skin problem with absurd cinematic seriousness.
    0:00-0:01.5
    SUNNY SKY OPENING
    Follow the opening movement of the reference video.
    Replace the ceiling with an intensely bright blue summer sky.
    Bright sun enters frame.
    Strong flare.
    Heat haze.
    Edges of tall city buildings appear where the original room boundaries would have been.
    As the original camera begins moving downward, exaggerate the existing motion with a FAST SPEED RAMP.
    SFX:
    huge air WHOOSH.
    Dynamic Korean SUPER briefly flashes across the sky:
    "폭염주의보"
    English meaning:
    "HEAT WAVE WARNING"
    Style:
    large bold Korean typography,
    white lettering with subtle hot-red accent,
    appears for only a fraction of a second,
    slightly tilted,
    moves rapidly with the camera.
    Do not leave it floating statically.
    0:01.5-0:02.8
    HIGH-ANGLE REVEAL
    Follow the original high-angle reveal of the man.
    Do not turn this into a completely different drone shot.
    Use the same unusual high camera perspective from the source, but make it feel more cinematic.
    He is walking through a busy sunny city street.
    Cars.
    Pedestrians.
    Hard sunlight.
    Heat shimmer.
    Crowded sidewalks.
    Camera rapidly descends toward him following the original direction.
    Lighting is intentionally harsh and slightly unpleasant.
    Hot highlights.
    Sweaty skin.
    Dry summer atmosphere.
    Quick SUPER appears beside him:
    "35°C"
    Then immediately:
    "습도 ↓"
    English:
    "Humidity ↓"
    Supers pop in with punchy commercial sound effects and disappear quickly.
    0:02.8-0:04.8
    DISTORTED FACE + MAIN CHARACTER SPEAKS
    Follow the source camera approach, but exaggerate the existing wide-angle perspective into a stylish semi-fisheye close-up.
    Use approximately a 14-18mm ultra-wide lens extremely close to his face.
    IMPORTANT:
    Lens distortion only.
    Do not distort his actual facial anatomy.
    His identity must remain the same.
    He looks directly into camera.
    Sweaty.
    Tired.
    Annoyed.
    Slightly horrified by how dry his skin feels.
    He speaks dramatically in KOREAN:
    "아, 잠깐만! 내 피부 왜 이래?! 너무 건조하잖아!"
    English meaning:
    "Ah, wait! What's wrong with my skin?! It's so dry!"
    Delivery:
    dramatic,
    frustrated,
    funny,
    Korean-commercial energy.
    Make the performance slightly bigger than normal while preserving his identity.
    DYNAMIC SUPERS synchronized with individual phrases:
    When he says:
    "잠깐만!"
    Huge text rapidly SLAMS beside his face:
    "잠깐만!"
    When he says:
    "왜 이래?!"
    Text punches into frame:
    "왜 이래?!"
    When he says:
    "너무 건조하잖아!"
    Largest SUPER:
    "건조해!!!"
    Make the text react to his voice.
    Typography:
    bold modern Korean commercial typography,
    slightly stretched,
    kinetic,
    brief,
    high impact.
    Do not cover his eyes.
    Each super should appear for less than approximately one second.
    Use:
    camera punch,
    bass hit,
    tiny screen shake,
    fast text animation.
    0:04.8-0:06.4
    CRASH INTO THE CHEEK
    Immediately after the final word:
    "건조하잖아!"
    The camera follows the source movement toward his face, but make the existing move dramatically faster.
    FACE
    → CHEEK
    → EXTREME SKIN MACRO.
    Use:
    FAST PUSH
    → faster
    → suddenly EXTREME SLOW MOTION.
    The cheek fills almost the entire screen.
    Maintain the same face orientation from the reference.
    Skin detail:
    natural pores
    subtle dryness
    slight dehydration
    light sweat
    slightly rough matte reflection
    Do not create gross cracked skin.
    Commercial super appears over the macro skin:
    "수분 부족"
    English:
    "MOISTURE LOW"
    A thin elegant graphic line points toward the dry surface like a cosmetic-analysis overlay.
    Male Korean narrator begins:
    "뜨거운 햇빛."
    English:
    "Scorching sunlight."
    Then:
    "메마른 공기."
    English:
    "Dry air."
    Deep male Korean commercial voice.
    0:06.4-0:08.2
    3D SKIN VISUALIZATION
    Continue pushing INTO his actual cheek.
    Do NOT make this feel like a random cut.
    Real pores enlarge.
    Skin texture smoothly transforms into an elegant 3D cosmetic-science visualization.
    Show:
    premium skin cross-section
    dehydrated upper skin layer
    slightly rough surface
    moisture level visibly low
    tiny blue moisture particles disappearing
    translucent elegant skin structures
    No blood.
    No medical horror.
    No gross biology.
    It must look beautiful and premium.
    Male VO:
    "수분이 빠져나간 피부."
    English:
    "Skin losing its moisture."
    3D SUPER appears:
    "MOISTURE -72%"
    This is purely a stylized commercial graphic, not a medical measurement.
    Then another elegant Korean super:
    "수분 긴급 충전 필요"
    English:
    "Urgent hydration needed"
    Camera begins reversing outward.
    0:08.2-0:09.2
    RETURN TO REAL SKIN + PRODUCT SIGNAL
    Zoom rapidly back out:
    3D skin
    → skin texture
    → pores
    → real cheek.
    The same face must return perfectly.
    No face change.
    A cool blue reflection suddenly moves across his cheek.
    Tiny cool blue reflection appears in his eye.
    Music completely stops for half a beat.
    SFX:
    "TIIING."
    A small elegant blue SUPER appears:
    "...?"
    He senses something behind him.
    Then follow the exact abrupt turn from the reference.
    0:09.2-0:12.5
    SIA DISCOVERY + FLOATING PRODUCT + DRAMATIC CATCH
    Follow the source turn and reaching action.
    As the camera reaches the reverse angle, reveal a premium skincare boutique on the same street.
    The boutique is:
    white,
    clean,
    minimal,
    luxurious,
    soft blue interior lighting.
    A SIA Moisturiser in the display suddenly emits a cool blue glow.
    Male VO whispers dramatically:
    "그 순간..."
    English:
    "At that moment..."
    The SIA Moisturiser smoothly launches from the display.
    No broken glass.
    It flies through the air and STOPS FLOATING unsupported in front of him.
    CRITICAL:
    At this moment:
    NO HAND HOLDS THE PRODUCT.
    NO OTHER PERSON.
    NO MYSTERY ARM.
    The product is floating completely freely in mid-air.
    Keep visible empty space around the moisturiser.
    Dynamic Korean SUPER appears beside it:
    "수분 발견"
    English:
    "HYDRATION FOUND"
    Now use the man's ORIGINAL reaching / lunging movement.
    Preserve his body trajectory.
    Make the movement more dramatic using:
    FAST
    → sudden EXTREME SLOW MOTION.
    He appears to jump/lunge toward the floating SIA Moisturiser.
    Do not redesign the source action.
    STREET TO BEAUTY-STUDIO TRANSITION:
    During this slow-motion reach, gradually transform the environment.
    Beginning:
    hot busy street.
    As he approaches the bottle:
    background pedestrians stretch into motion blur,
    harsh sunlight becomes white,
    street architecture gradually washes away,
    white light floods the scene.
    Midway through the jump:
    the street is half present,
    half transformed into a clean white studio.
    By the exact moment he catches the bottle:
    he is completely inside a PREMIUM WHITE BEAUTY STUDIO.
    Transition must happen around his EXISTING movement.
    Do not stop the action.
    Do not cut to a completely unrelated scene.
    Male VO:
    "피부가 찾던 수분."
    English:
    "The hydration your skin was looking for."
    Product close-up during slow motion:
    "SIA MOISTURISER"
    tiny blue particles orbit around it.
    At the exact catch:
    BOOM.
    Male VO:
    "시아 모이스처라이저."
    English:
    "SIA Moisturiser."
    0:12.5-0:14.7
    CREAM MACRO IN WHITE STUDIO
    Follow the source hard cut and exact finger action.
    Now fully inside the white beauty studio.
    Extreme macro.
    His fingertip presses into the SIA moisturising cream.
    Lighting changes dramatically:
    soft white top light,
    cool blue edge highlights,
    beautiful glossy cream reflections.
    Cream:
    silky,
    dense,
    smooth,
    expensive-looking,
    hydrating.
    Add very subtle slow motion as the finger presses down.
    Commercial SUPER:
    "HYDRATION BOOST"
    Then smaller Korean:
    "촉촉하게"
    English:
    "Hydrating"
    Male VO:
    "부드럽게 닿고."
    English:
    "Touches softly."
    0:14.7-0:16.8
    FINGER POV APPLICATION
    Follow the strange wide-angle source perspective exactly.
    Finger remains very large in foreground.
    Cream approaches his face.
    When the cream touches the cheek:
    add a dramatic micro lighting reaction.
    A cool-white hydration wave travels across his skin, but extremely subtle and premium.
    Skin changes from:
    dry and matte
    to:
    healthy,
    hydrated,
    fresh,
    naturally luminous.
    No face morph.
    DYNAMIC SUPER follows the finger swipe:
    "+ 수분"
    Then:
    "+ 광채"
    English:
    "+ HYDRATION"
    "+ GLOW"
    Male VO:
    "가볍게 스며들어."
    English:
    "Absorbs lightly."
    SFX:
    soft liquid shimmer.
    0:16.8-0:18.3
    HEAD-SWING BEAUTY TRANSFORMATION
    COPY the original swing around / behind his head.
    Same motion.
    Same direction.
    Same timing.
    But dramatically enhance the cinematography.
    As camera passes behind his head:
    lights SWITCH.
    Before:
    neutral white studio.
    During transition:
    brief silhouette,
    soft blue-white light streaks.
    After camera emerges:
    FULL KOREAN BEAUTY CAMPAIGN LIGHTING.
    Beautiful large softbox illumination.
    Soft luminous background.
    Cool blue accent lighting.
    Elegant halo around his silhouette.
    Subtle slow-motion mist.
    Hair catches a soft controlled wind.
    Not a hairstyle change.
    Male VO:
    "피부에 차오르는 수분감."
    English:
    "Hydration filling the skin."
    0:18.3-0:20.5
    K-BEAUTY HERO REVEAL
    Follow the source return-to-front motion.
    Do NOT create a new hero pose.
    His exact source position remains.
    But now make him look dramatically better through cinematography.
    He appears:
    refreshed
    handsome
    polished
    hydrated
    premium
    confident
    Same exact person.
    Skin:
    clean,
    glowing,
    healthy,
    natural.
    Eyes have elegant catchlights.
    Hair looks slightly more polished from lighting and controlled breeze.
    A giant elegant Korean SUPER appears behind/beside him:
    "촉촉."
    Then another:
    "맑게."
    English:
    "HYDRATED."
    "CLEAR."
    The typography floats briefly in the white studio and disappears.
    Male VO:
    "더 맑게."
    Tiny pause.
    "더 산뜻하게."
    English:
    "Clearer."
    "Fresher."
    Use a subtle beauty-commercial music drop here.
    0:20.5-0:21.8
    FINAL SKIN HERO MACRO
    Follow the original source push-in.
    Do NOT replace the framing.
    Camera moves extremely close to his hydrated cheek.
    This becomes the AFTER counterpart to the dry-skin inspection.
    Skin:
    natural pores
    soft healthy sheen
    hydrated texture
    clean reflection
    no plastic smoothing
    Elegant animated graphic:
    "MOISTURE ↑"
    Then:
    "24H GLOW"
    Use this only as stylized advertising graphics, not a factual product claim.
    Tiny blue hydration particles move across the frame.
    Male VO:
    "하루 종일 촉촉하게."
    English:
    "Hydrated all day."
    0:21.8-END
    FINAL PRODUCT PUSH
    Follow the exact source product-to-camera movement.
    Same:
    arm trajectory,
    hand position,
    body location,
    framing,
    timing.
    The object is the blue SIA Moisturiser.
    He brings it toward camera.
    Focus transitions from:
    his face
    → product.
    The product looks premium:
    perfect label
    dark blue body
    soft blue rim light
    tiny condensation droplets
    white studio reflection
    clean sharp typography
    Large elegant SUPER appears behind the product:
    "SIA"
    Then underneath:
    "MOISTURISER"
    Then Korean tagline:
    "건조한 하루에도, 촉촉하게."
    English:
    "Hydration, even on the driest day."
    Male VO:
    "건조한 하루에도, 촉촉하게."
    Pause.
    "시아 모이스처라이저."
    Finish with a premium Korean brand sting.
    AUDIO:
    FIRST SPEECH:
    main character speaks directly to camera.
    AFTER THAT:
    one consistent adult MALE KOREAN narrator.
    Narrator:
    deep,
    smooth,
    confident,
    slightly overdramatic,
    premium,
    classic Korean commercial delivery.
    MUSIC EVOLUTION:
    STREET:
    quirky fast commercial beat.
    DRY SKIN:
    music drops into suspense.
    PRODUCT DISCOVERY:
    silence + chime.
    JUMP:
    huge cinematic rise.
    WHITE STUDIO:
    premium modern K-pop beauty-ad instrumental.
    FINAL:
    clean luxury brand hit.
    SUPER DESIGN:
    Korean supers must feel like real commercial motion graphics.
    Use:
    fast kinetic typography
    scale punches
    slight rotations
    tracking motion with subject
    short appearance durations
    impact synchronization
    clean premium fonts
    minimal red accents during "dry" section
    blue/white accents during hydration section
    Do not randomly fill the frame with text.
    Text should emphasize specific beats only.
    MOTION PRIORITY:
    Preserve the same main character.
    Preserve the original sequence of movements.
    Preserve the original timing.
    Preserve the original camera direction.
    Preserve the original framing logic.
    Enhance existing camera movement.
    Add dramatic lighting.
    Add supers.
    Add 3D skin graphics.
    Add premium commercial polish.
    The result should NOT feel like a different video.
    It should feel like the original footage was given a massive Korean advertising production budget.
