Use the uploaded image as the primary character and visual reference when provided.

Create a **30-second photorealistic storytelling podcast clip**, 16:9 horizontal.

## Setting & Cast
A narrator at a vintage microphone under a single warm spotlight against a deep dark background, subtle haze in the air. Intimate, hushed, cinematic.

## Camera & Style
A slow, almost imperceptible push-in across the whole 30 seconds. Close framing on the narrator's face. No cuts.
The result should feel like a genuine excerpt from a professionally recorded podcast — not an AI talking avatar, advertisement, or scripted presenter video. Natural skin texture, realistic lighting, subtle room ambience, authentic microphone recording quality.

## Timeline
0:00–0:02 — A low ambient drone instead of a sting; the narrator looks down, then up into the lens. No title card — just darkness and the voice.
0:02–0:10 — The opening line, unhurried, e.g. "The letter arrived on a Tuesday. Nobody had used that mailbox in nine years." Long deliberate pauses.
0:10–0:20 — The story deepens, voice dropping slightly, e.g. "Inside was a single photograph... of a house that had burned down before I was born." Eyes narrow; a slow blink.
0:20–0:27 — The turn, almost whispered, e.g. "And on the back, in my own handwriting — a date. Next week."
0:27–0:30 — A held silence, the narrator's faint exhale, then: "That's where this story begins." Slow fade of the ambience.

## Subtitles
Add accurate subtitles synchronized word-for-word with the actual speech, appearing progressively as spoken — never before. White bold sans-serif text on a subtle semi-transparent black background, centered in the lower third, 3–7 words per chunk.

## Performance — VERY IMPORTANT
Perfect lip synchronization is the highest priority: lips, jaw and facial muscles must match every spoken word. Include the natural imperfections of real conversation: brief 0.2–0.5s pauses, breathing between phrases, occasional blinking, subtle eyebrow movements, small head nods and occasional hand gestures. Do not gesture constantly, do not give every sentence identical rhythm, and do not stare into the camera the entire time.

**Duration: exactly 30 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9.**
