Using ByteDance Seedance 2.0, create a 15-second cinematic video. Use @image1 as the subject reference and preserve the subject’s facial identity, hairstyle, accessories, body proportions, and overall appearance. The subject has a relaxed, genuine smile and reacts naturally to the surroundings rather than posing for camera. Use @image2 as the wardrobe reference and keep the outfit unchanged throughout.

Make the camera feel as if it has tremendous momentum: it never fully stops and repeatedly overshoots the subject before being naturally pulled back. Keep the movement smooth, energetic, and physically believable, with an elastic cinematic rhythm.

0–2.5s: Rocket forward centimeters above the rain-soaked promenade, overtaking the subject. Stretch water reflections beneath the lens as railings, chains, lamp posts, umbrellas, and pedestrians streak past in layered parallax. As the camera overshoots, have the subject turn slightly with a relaxed smile, acknowledging the harbor rather than the camera.

2.5–5s: Let momentum carry the camera beyond the subject, then draw it backward through the same architectural corridor. Weave between bollards, ferry structures, café terraces, bicycles, and rain-covered glass while staying stabilized; the subject gradually grows larger in frame.

5–7.5s: Swing into a wide slingshot arc around the subject without losing forward energy. Show ferries in mist, seagulls overhead, and reflective pavement beneath. Keep the smile natural and effortless.

7.5–10s: Pull outward toward the waterfront, bank around a docked ferry’s bow, race beneath the boarding bridge, thread between mooring ropes and steel columns, then rebound toward the promenade in one uninterrupted flow.

10–12.5s: Compress the returning momentum into a moving portrait. Circle close around the subject without stopping. Let wind lift the coat, raindrops shimmer, and the relaxed smile subtly grow as harbor activity continues behind.

12.5–15s: Make one final overshoot, then drift backward into a balanced wide composition. The subject continues walking through the rainy harbor with an authentic smile, hands relaxed, surrounded by mist, ferries, and softly moving pedestrians. Keep the camera subtly in motion as the sequence transitions naturally into the next act.
