Cinematic Character Replacement Video Prompt

This prompt guides you to create a cinematic video by precisely replacing the central male character with a woman from a provided image. The prompt emphasizes strict adherence to the original video's choreography, motion, camera angles, and pacing. You will maintain the identity of the woman, ensuring her facial features and appearance remain consistent throughout the video. The wardrobe and smoking actions are also detailed to replicate the original character's look and actions accurately. With an emphasis on photorealism, the final output should feel as if the original video was filmed with the woman from the image. This prompt is ideal for those looking to explore character replacement in a cinematic context while preserving the integrity of the original footage.

Use the uploaded reference VIDEO as the exact motion, choreography, camera, framing, timing, pacing, shot duration and cut-point reference. Use <image_1> as the STRICT identity reference for the MAIN WOMAN. The final video should feel like the SAME original video, but with the original central man completely replaced by the woman from <image_1>. Do NOT recreate or preserve the original man's face or identity. IDENTITY <image_1> The central character is the exact same woman shown in <image_1>. Preserve her: - exact face - facial structure - jawline - cheekbones - nose - eyes - eyebrows - lips - ears - skin tone - natural facial proportions - hairstyle - hair length, volume and texture - any facial features visible in the reference - natural body proportions Maximum identity preservation throughout the entire video. She must remain recognizably the same person from the uploaded photograph in every shot and every angle. NO face morphing. NO identity drift. NO changing facial structure. NO different hairstyle. NO unwanted hair changes. NO beautification or artificial facial retouching. NO age changes. NO facial distortion. CHARACTER REPLACEMENT Replace ONLY the original central man with the woman from <image_1>. Keep the exact position, scale, body movement, gestures, walking path, head movements, smoking actions and timing from the reference video. Everything the original central character does in the reference video should be performed by the <image_1> woman at the same moment and with the same choreography. Do not reinterpret or redesign the choreography simply because the replacement character is female. WARDROBE Dress <image_1> in the same character-reference outfit, adapted naturally for the woman: Acid lime green single-breasted blazer, notch lapels, two buttons, buttoned closed, slightly oversized shoulders. Plain white cotton shirt underneath. Narrow black knitted tie, neatly knotted. Straight black trousers. Plain black leather ankle boots, low heel. No jewellery. No watch. No belt. No bag. No phone. No logos or patterns. The lime blazer must remain exactly throughout the entire video. IMPORTANT: Do not let the wardrobe replacement change the original choreography, body positioning, composition or pacing. SMOKING ACTION Preserve the smoking sequence from the reference video exactly. At the beginning, the main woman holds a cigarette naturally between her fingers and brings it to her mouth. She lights the cigarette using the same hand movements, timing and body positioning as the reference video. She takes a drag and naturally exhales smoke. Preserve the original: - hand position - cigarette position - lighter movement - timing - head movement - facial expression - smoke timing - arm movement The smoking action should look physically natural and cinematic. Do not exaggerate the smoke. Do not create excessive smoke. No smoking action should occur from any other character. All other characters remain unchanged. EXACT ORIGINAL ACTION / TIMING 0–4 SECONDS: Match the reference video exactly. The central woman is shown smoking. She brings the cigarette toward her mouth, lights it, takes a drag and exhales. Match the original close framing, facial positioning, hand movements and timing. 4–11 SECONDS: Match the reference video exactly. The woman turns away from camera and moves forward into the crowd using the exact same movement and timing as the original central character. Preserve her body position, walking speed, direction and camera framing. 11–17 SECONDS: Match the original choreography exactly. The woman moves back toward the central position and performs the same gestures and movements as the original central character. Do not invent new actions. 17–22 SECONDS: The woman reaches and holds the same central position as the reference. She becomes calm and composed. Maintain the exact same camera composition. 22–30 SECONDS: The crowd begins the same synchronized chaotic movement from the reference. The central woman remains calm and controlled in the center while the surrounding crowd moves violently and rhythmically around her. Match the exact timing, intensity and choreography of the original crowd movement. The central woman must remain clearly identifiable and visually separated from the crowd. CAMERA COPY THE REFERENCE VIDEO'S CAMERA LANGUAGE EXACTLY. Preserve: - camera position - camera height - camera distance - lens perspective - focal length feel - framing - depth of field - camera movement - push/pull movement - tracking - camera shake if present - zoom - subject scale - transitions - shot duration - exact cut points Do NOT create new shots. Do NOT add new camera movements. Do NOT change the original video's pacing. The output should have the same visual rhythm and edit structure as the reference video. CROWD Keep the original crowd concept and choreography from the reference video. Large group of young men surrounding the central woman. Preserve their: - positions - density - formation - movements - synchronized choreography - timing - background behavior Do not replace the crowd with women. Do not introduce new characters. Do not allow anyone else to become visually dominant over the main woman. Only the central character is replaced. LOCATION Preserve the same environment and architecture as the reference video. Keep the same: - concrete/architectural setting - stairs - background structure - crowd arrangement - environmental depth - overall composition Do not redesign the location. Do not introduce new buildings or props. LIGHTING / COLOR Preserve the reference video's overall cinematic lighting and color grading. Keep the dark, moody atmosphere. The acid lime blazer should be the distinctive color of the central character. Keep natural skin tones. Realistic shadows and highlights. No artificial glow. No haze. No bloom. No excessive smoke. No fantasy lighting. VISUAL STYLE Photorealistic cinematic live-action footage. Natural human motion. Natural body physics. Realistic fabric. Realistic hair. Realistic skin. Realistic cigarette smoke. Realistic lighting. No CGI appearance. No animation. No cartoon. No plastic skin. No face distortion. No duplicated main character. CRITICAL INSTRUCTION REFERENCE VIDEO = controls EVERYTHING about the original video's motion. <image_1> = controls ONLY the identity and appearance of the replacement central woman. Replace the original central man with the woman from <image_1> while preserving the original video's actions, choreography, camera, timing, pacing, framing and cuts as closely as possible. The result should look like the original video was filmed with <image_1> instead of the original actor. ONE MAIN CHARACTER ONLY. NO IDENTITY DRIFT. NO EXTRA VERSION OF <image_1>.
