The prompt

A narrow city side street at dusk in the 1980s, paper lanterns glowing over small shopfronts, a man in a grey suit cycling past on an old black bicycle, wet pavement. Photoreal live-action film footage with warm film grain. 0–1s: a location stamp types on quickly in the lower-left corner and is complete within the first second, reading 【TOKYO, 1987】 in small white typewriter-style monospaced capital letters. 1–8s: the stamp holds still in the lower-left corner while the cyclist rides past and people walk under the lanterns. Throughout: locked-off wide shot, the stamp visible from the first second and fixed in place, one continuous take, no subtitles.

Tip

Ask for the type-on to finish within the first second. The first take drew the 【 】 brackets on screen in the typewriter font; adding "brackets" to the negative prompt fixed it.
