Prompt

Create a highly realistic 30-second, 16:9 Seedance 2.5 video resembling genuine Korean MiniDV home footage from 2002–2005.

Subject: An original Korean woman in her mid-20s with natural facial features, shoulder-length dark hair, subtle makeup, early-2000s casual clothing, sneakers, and a small shoulder bag. She behaves naturally and never acknowledges the camera. Maintain identical facial identity, hairstyle, outfit, and proportions throughout.

Sequence:

* 0–6s: She sits beside the window on a crowded Korean city bus, watching the streets pass.
* 6–11s: She exits at a bus stop as the camera
* 11–17s: She walks through a busy Korean shopping street, checks a handwritten note, and enters a small local shop.
* 17–23s: She leaves with a paper shopping bag and walks past pedestrians, bicycles, old cars, and neighborhood stores.
* 23–30s: At sunset, she reaches a riverside walkway, sets down her bag, and quietly watches the water and distant skyline. The camera slowly zooms before the recording cuts off abruptly.

Visual style: Authentic early-2000s consumer MiniDV footage, handheld shake, imperfect framing, autofocus hunting, exposure fluctuations, faded warm colors, soft digital sharpness, mild noise, compression artifacts, occasional blown highlights, and accidental zooms. Nostalgic, spontaneous, ordinary, and unpolished—not cinematic.

Realism: Natural human movement, realistic hands, skin texture, hair and clothing physics, believable crowds, consistent environments, and physically accurate lighting. No face distortion, duplicated people, disappearing objects, glossy skin, artificial bokeh, modern color grading, or obvious AI artifacts.

Audio: Raw camcorder microphone sound only: bus engines, passenger chatter, footsteps, traffic, shop ambience, distant voices, wind, and riverside sounds. No music, narration, or cinematic effects.

Output: 30 seconds, 16:9, photorealistic, authentic Korean city atmosphere, early-2000s home-video aesthetic. Make it feel like a forgotten family recording rediscovered years later.
