The Statue That Copied Me
You pose beside a classical garden statue for a photo — and the moment you turn away, the statue quietly copies your pose. Bring one clear photo of yourself. This is a photo-based prompt: upload your photo, then paste the full master prompt below into Google Flow, Veo, Kling or your AI video tool of choice. It includes the start frame, timed video direction, sound and a negative prompt — everything needed to recreate the format.
The master prompt
START FRAME (image): A museum garden in soft afternoon light: the person from the uploaded photo standing beside a classical stone statue of similar height, both facing the camera, gravel path and hedges behind; the person's face, hair and outfit preserved exactly. VIDEO (9:16, 10 seconds): 0–3s — the person raises one arm in a playful pose for the "photo"; the statue does nothing. 3–7s — the person turns away to check their phone; behind them, with a faint stone-grind, the statue slowly raises the same arm into the same pose. 7–10s — the person spins back, sees the copied pose, and does a wide-eyed double-take at the camera; the statue freezes innocent. SOUND: hushed garden ambience, one faint stone creak during the move, a single comedic sting on the double-take. NEGATIVE: the statue walking or chasing, horror tone, face or identity drift, outfit changes, extra limbs, text, logos, watermarks.
