GPT Image 2.5 prompt for a video's opening frame
A long prompt for generating a realistic selfie-style opening frame, with the vintage look written into the prompt rather than added as a filter.
3/ the start frame, GPT Image 2.5 made the old footage look is NOT a filter.. Sonnet wrote it into the prompt: Prompt: A close-up straight-on smartphone selfie of the same young woman, taken at arm's length with a wide-angle phone lens, placed in the right foreground of a sunlit contemporary living room. She has hazel-green eyes, sun-kissed light-tan skin with faint freckles across the nose and cheeks, and long straight balayage hair with darker brown roots and honey-gold highlights, one loose strand framing the left side of her forehead. She rests her cheek gently on her left palm, two minimalist silver rings on her fingers, glossy pink lips, calm introspective gaze into the lens. An oversized chunky deep-burgundy cable-knit sweater with ribbed cuffs fills the lower half of the frame. Direct mid-afternoon window sunlight rakes across her face, crisp shadows and warm highlights. Behind her, softly blurred: a beige pillow on a cream couch, a small bright window, a large arc of sunlight falling on the off-white wall. Palette of 50% creamy off-white and warm greige, 35% rich burgundy wine, 15% golden beige and honey. Moderate shallow depth of field, sharp detail on eyes and knit, slight wide-angle curve in horizontal lines, natural skin texture with visible pores, cozy quiet mood.

2/ women character sheet, GPT Image 2.5 made Prompt: SCENE CONTEXT A photoreal character reference sheet of one young woman, built from the attached first-frame selfie, for identity lock in a UGC try-on video. SUBJECT A young woman in her mid-twenties, slim build. Face: fair skin with a warm golden undertone and a soft capillary flush across the cheeks and nose, dense natural freckles scattered across the nose bridge, both cheeks and the upper lip area, hazel-green almond eyes with a warm golden ring around the pupil, thick natural brows with a fairly straight line and a soft arch at the tail, straight narrow nose with a slight sun-lit sheen on the bridge, full lips in a glossy rose-nude with a defined cupid's bow, dewy bare skin with no visible foundation. Hair: long layered light-brown hair with caramel and honey-blonde balayage streaks, a clean center part, slightly piecey loose waves, soft face-framing strands falling past the collarbones. Hands: short soft almond nails in a sheer nude, two thin stacked silver band rings on the ring finger. Outfit: an oversized burgundy chunky-knit funnel-neck sweater in a fuzzy mohair-blend yarn with a soft halo of fibres, cream relaxed wide-leg trousers, bare feet. 100% matches the reference. LAYOUT Four panels side by side, 100% consistent across all 4 shots: face close-up at 18° FOV looking to the lens, head and shoulders three-quarter left at 29° FOV, full body front at 47° FOV, full body back at 47° FOV. OPTICS Natural perspective, deep focus, high micro-contrast, fine skin texture preserved. CAMERA Eye level, subject centred in each panel, straight rectilinear framing. BACKGROUND Seamless neutral light-grey cyclorama, soft contact shadow at the feet. LIGHTING Even soft studio softbox key from the front-upper, gentle fill, WB 5200K, freckles and skin texture fully readable. MATERIAL Pore-level realism: vellus hair along the jaw and hairline, asymmetric freckles, capillary flush, wet living eyes with catch-lights.
