Under the Fan
One spinning blade, five worlds — filmed straight down, cut in plain sight.
Shot from directly overhead, a woman lies on the floor of a warm 1970s living room, looking up at the camera and holding a remote while a large ceiling fan spins close to the lens. Every time a blade fully covers the frame, it hides a cut — and when it clears, she's in a new city with a whole new look, never having moved.

Generated from the two prompts below — the five-panel reference image first, then the video prompt using it as reference. Note: the city name captions and music were added afterward in an editing tool, not by the AI generation itself.

🌠 Image Generation Prompt
The five-panel reference image generated from the prompt on the right — use it as the input for the video prompt below.
Photorealistic cinematic five-panel reference image, vertical composition. Create FIVE narrow vertical panels placed side by side, separated by thin clean white borders. Each panel shows THE SAME young East Asian woman lying flat on her back, photographed from a perfect straight-down overhead camera. Her face, facial proportions, body proportions, and overall identity must remain consistent across all five panels. She looks directly upward toward the camera. In every panel, one arm is extended upward holding the same small black remote control toward the camera. A large dark wooden ceiling fan blade sweeps across the upper foreground of every panel. The fan blade should appear very close to the camera and slightly motion blurred. The camera position, body placement, framing, body scale, and remote gesture must remain nearly identical across all five panels. Only her styling and environment change. PANEL 1 — 1970s NEW YORK / USA: Warm brown shag carpet. Woman wears: white fitted vintage ringer T-shirt with rainbow graphic, high-waisted blue bell-bottom jeans, brown leather boots, retro over-ear headphones. Hair styled in soft natural 1970s volume. Surrounding objects: vinyl turntable, records, album covers, bowl of popcorn, warm orange vintage lamp, large green houseplant, brown leather furniture. Warm amber lighting. PANEL 2 — MUMBAI / INDIA: Rich red, orange, gold and green patterned Indian rugs and textiles. Woman wears: embroidered cream cropped blouse, rich red/orange patterned long skirt or loose trousers, gold jewelry, earrings, stacked bangles. Dark hair styled in a loose romantic braid with soft natural strands and subtle floral accessories. Surrounding objects: brass tray, chai, small candles, flowers, traditional textiles, small decorative objects. Warm golden cinematic lighting. PANEL 3 — PARIS / FRANCE: Elegant Parisian apartment floor. Combination of warm parquet wood and a cream geometric rug. Woman wears: black high-waisted tailored trousers, black-and-white striped fitted top, black textured cardigan or cropped jacket, black loafers, small silk scarf tied around the neck, subtle gold accessories. Hair styled in a soft effortless French updo with loose face-framing strands. Surrounding objects: coffee, croissant, wine glass, flowers, fashion magazine, small structured black handbag, café-style furniture details. Soft warm natural European interior lighting. PANEL 4 — SEOUL / SOUTH KOREA: Warm retro Korean apartment aesthetic. Yellow floral patterned floor or linoleum mixed with patchwork textile elements. Woman wears: soft white tank or camisole, floral loose pajama-style trousers, pastel satin or patterned zip jacket, white socks. Hair tied into a casual messy high bun with a fabric scrunchie and soft bangs. Surrounding objects: retro electric fan, cassette player, tea, small snacks, floral cushions, vintage household objects.

Hair styled in a messy layered rock-inspired updo. Surrounding objects: vinyl records, music magazines, tea mug, British punk / rock-inspired objects, warm vintage lamp. Dark moody warm lighting. IMPORTANT CONSISTENCY: same woman in every panel same face same body proportions same overhead camera height same body orientation same remote position same ceiling fan placement same basic composition The changes should feel like the same woman instantly transported between five different cultural and stylistic worlds. STYLE: photorealistic cinematic rich environmental detail natural skin texture realistic fabric texture subtle analog film grain gentle lens softness soft highlight roll-off warm nostalgic color palette editorial but physically believable NO: different faces different body proportions extra people multiple fans in one panel floating objects surreal anatomy text labels country names logos cartoon styling plastic skin

🎬 Video Generation Prompt
10-second photorealistic cinematic video, vertical 9:16. Use the reference images for the woman's identity, exact body positioning, five looks, and environments. FACE / IDENTITY: The same woman must remain the same person throughout the entire video. Do not change her facial identity. Her body position and scale remain nearly perfectly aligned during every transition. CAMERA: Perfect straight-down 90-degree overhead camera. The camera is completely locked for the entire video. No pan. No tilt. No dolly. No zoom. No camera rotation. ONE oversized ceiling fan is positioned very close to the camera. Its dark wooden blades rotate between the camera and the woman. 0.0–1.0 SEC — NEW YORK / USA The woman lies underneath the fan in the 1970s American room. She raises the black remote and presses it. The ceiling fan begins accelerating. 1.0–2.0 SEC: The fan quickly reaches a fast constant rotational speed. A wooden fan blade sweeps extremely close to the lens. At approximately 2 seconds, the blade completely covers the entire frame. HIDDEN HARD CUT. 2.0–4.0 SEC — MUMBAI / INDIA The blade clears. The woman is now lying in the Indian environment. Her body remains in exactly the same position. Only her outfit, hairstyle, floor, rug, props, and surrounding environment have changed. The fan continues spinning at exactly the same speed. At approximately 4 seconds, another blade completely occludes the camera. HIDDEN HARD CUT. 4.0–6.0 SEC — PARIS / FRANCE The blade clears into the Parisian environment. Same woman. Same body alignment. Same remote gesture. Different clothing, hairstyle and surroundings. At approximately 6 seconds, a blade fully covers the frame. HIDDEN HARD CUT. 6.0–8.0 SEC — SEOUL / SOUTH KOREA The blade reveals the Seoul environment. Again, the woman remains perfectly aligned. Her clothes, styling, floor and surrounding objects have changed. At approximately 8 seconds, another fan blade completely fills the frame. HIDDEN HARD CUT. 8.0–10.0 SEC — LONDON / UK The blade reveals the final London rock-inspired environment. The woman remains in the same physical position underneath the continuously rotating fan. The fan continues spinning through the final frame. TRANSITION RULE: Every world change happens ONLY while a physical ceiling-fan blade completely blocks the camera. The blade itself creates the transition. There must be NO visible morphing between outfits or environments. No dissolve. No crossfade. No magical transformation. No glitch. Treat each transition as an invisible hard cut hidden behind the moving fan blade. CONTINUITY: ONE ceiling fan throughout the video. Constant rotation direction. Constant rotation speed after acceleration. Same woman. Same face. Same body position. Same framing. Same camera. Only the styling and environment change. STYLE: photorealistic cinematic realism natural motion blur realistic fan physics subtle analog film grain natural skin texture gentle lens softness soft highlight roll-off warm nostalgic environments
