The painting starts moving. Created using @Hailuo_AI #MiniMaxDesign Ref: images on Seedream 5.0 Pro & Video on H3 Prompt 👇 https://t.co/0DJPIEn4e6 [补充2] Create a 15-second cinematic 16:9 video set inside a museum at night. Use Image 2 as the museum environment reference: an empty, quiet museum corridor with polished floors, soft overhead lights, deep perspective, and a calm closed-museum atmosphere. Use Image 3 only as the character design reference for one single museum security guard. The final video must contain only one security guard. Do not reproduce the character sheet layout. Do not create multiple guards. The guard should look realistic and human, wearing a simple museum security uniform, with believable skin texture and subtle facial detail. No police styling, no hat, no tactical look, no plastic skin. Use Image 1 as the artwork hanging on the museum wall. It should appear as a framed artwork inside the museum, showing the surreal ocean doorway scene. The artwork begins as still art, then slowly comes alive. Timeline: 0–3 seconds: A lone security guard walks slowly through the empty museum corridor at night. The camera tracks with him in a calm, cinematic way. The space feels quiet, closed, and slightly eerie. Sound is only natural museum ambience and soft footsteps. 3–6 seconds: The guard hears faint ocean waves coming from somewhere inside the museum. He slows down, turns his head, and notices the framed artwork on the wall. 6–10 seconds: The camera moves closer toward the artwork as the guard approaches. Inside the artwork, the ocean starts to move: waves ripple, foam shifts, mist drifts, and the glowing doorway begins to pulse softly. The artwork still remains on the wall, but its internal world feels alive. 10–13 seconds: The guard stops in front of the painting, staring in disbelief. The wave sound becomes clearer, as if the ocean is behind the wall. The light from the doorway inside the artwork subtly flickers and reflects on the museum floor. The water inside the artwork slightly pushes beyond the frame edge, just a little, making it feel alive while still remaining mostly contained within the painting. 13–15 seconds: The camera pushes in toward the moving artwork and the guard’s stunned reaction. End with the on-screen line: ART SHOULD NOT STAY STILL. Camera style: cinematic tracking shot, slow push-in, smooth controlled movement, realistic lensing, subtle tension, elegant framing. Lighting: low-key museum night lighting, soft overhead pools of light, polished floor reflections, gentle glow from the artwork, realistic shadows. Motion: keep the guard’s movement natural and restrained. Keep the artwork movement subtle but clearly alive: moving water, drifting mist, pulsing doorway light. The artwork must not become a full portal spilling into the room; it should remain a framed wall artwork that mysteriously moves. Sound design: no music. Use only natural sound effects and ambience: quiet museum room tone, soft footsteps, distant waves, subtle water movement, faint low indoor reverb. The wave sound should gradually become more noticeable as the guard approaches the artwork. Style: cinematic realism, eerie but playful, magical museum atmosphere, polished production design, realistic human character, no cartoon look, no extra guards, no duplicated characters, no split-screen, no character sheet layout.
