## Prompt

- Model: Seedance 2.5

```text
Main Subject: Young Canadian woman, 23, shoulder-length dark-brown hair in a loose ponytail, lavender T-shirt, black leggings, white sneakers, small gym bag. Natural, slightly nervous, friendly expression.

Location: A modest neighborhood gym in Toronto, Canada, around 2005. Old treadmills, basic weight machines, rubber flooring, fluorescent lights, wall mirrors, water fountain, small locker area, and a few regular members. Ordinary local gym, not a luxury fitness studio.

Visual Style: Ultra-realistic early-2000s consumer MiniDV footage. Feels like a friend documenting her first gym visit. Candid, imperfect, and nostalgic.

Camera Style: Cheap MiniDV camcorder, handheld shake, imperfect framing, accidental zooms, autofocus hunting, exposure pumping under fluorescent lights, faded colors, soft contrast, motion blur, digital compression, slight sensor noise, no stabilization.

Timeline — 15 Seconds:

00:00–00:03 — She enters the gym carrying her bag, looks around, and gives the camera a nervous smile.

00:03–00:06 — She places her bag in a locker and struggles briefly with the old combination lock.

00:06–00:09 — She starts a light workout on a treadmill while her friend films from a respectful distance.

00:09–00:12 — She tries a basic weight machine, then checks the mirror with a playful, serious expression.

00:12–00:15 — After finishing, she takes a sip of water, wipes her forehead, and proudly gives the camera a thumbs-up.

Audio: Treadmill hum, weight-machine sounds, shoes on rubber flooring, locker doors, quiet conversations, water fountain, gym ventilation. No music, no narration.

Goal: Make it feel like a forgotten Canadian MiniDV recording from 2005–a simple first gym session, awkward moments, small achievement, and authentic everyday nostalgia.
