The prompt

Close-up of an elderly Japanese widower sitting by an apartment window at sunset holding a photo frame, photoreal drama, locked camera. 0–2s: warm orange sunlight lies across his face and the frame. 2–4s: the sun sinks behind the buildings opposite. 4–6s: the warm light slides off his face and up the wall behind him. 6–8s: he sits in cool blue dusk light, his face soft and still. Throughout: dust in the light, a quiet room, naturalistic light only, fixed camera, one continuous take.

Tip

Slow changes need a path. “Slides off his face and up the wall” is a movement the model can draw; “it gets darker” is not.
