## Prompt

- Model: Seedance 2.5

```text
Create a 25–30 second ultra-realistic cinematic sequence inside a photorealistic 1950s American diner. Chrome stools, deep red booths, checkerboard floor, warm window light and buzzing neon. Premium film grain with natural handheld texture.
GIRL: Use the uploaded reference image as the exact character reference. Young woman with consistent face, hair, skin tone and body proportions, wearing a cream quarter-zip sweater, black pants and white sneakers. She sits calmly at the counter, completely focused on a thick milkshake.
MAN: Young male waiter wearing a classic white diner shirt, dark trousers and apron, carrying a tray with a burger and large glass jug of orange juice.
She slowly sips her milkshake as the waiter approaches behind her. A man rising from a nearby booth accidentally bumps into him.
The tray, burger and orange juice launch into the air. Orange juice explodes into suspended droplets while the camera smoothly orbits around the frozen moment. Everyone freezes in shock.
The girl at the counter remains completely unfazed, still slowly drinking her milkshake.
The camera makes a full orbit around the frozen diner. Floating burger, tray and orange juice droplets hang in the air while she takes another deliberate sip.
Time suddenly rewinds. The food, waiter and orange juice smoothly return to their original positions.
The waiter regains his balance. The girl looks up just before the collision happens and quietly moves her milkshake out of the way.
The accident is avoided.
Final extreme close-up: she takes one last sip, gives a tiny knowing smile toward the camera and continues drinking.
CAMERA: 35mm anamorphic look, handheld realism transitioning into a smooth 360° bullet-time orbit during the freeze, shallow depth of field, realistic motion blur, warm film grain, natural skin texture, photorealistic physics.
AUDIO: Diegetic only — straw suction, ice moving inside the glass, tray clatter, glass impact, orange juice splash, diner ambience, brief silence during the freeze, reversed sound during rewind. No music.
NEGATIVE: No gore, injuries, distorted faces, extra limbs, floating characters outside the freeze effect, unrealistic liquid physics, product deformation, text, subtitles or watermark.
