The tin robot was generated first as a product shot on white, then placed on a study desk by naming @robot in the opening prompt: the teal body, red chest panel, glass eyes and wind-up key all carry over. Shot one lets dusk fall and clicks the banker's lamp on. Shot two lights up the robot's eyes and turns its head to the camera while the desk stays still. The lamp click and the creak of the turning head come from the generated sound.

Cut lands on the lit desk, so the head turn starts from a still robot

Photoreal toy photography: the exact same tin toy robot shown in @robot, teal-blue body, red chest panel, silver head with round glass eyes, silver wind-up key on its back, stands upright on a dark wooden desk in a dim study at dusk, a brass desk lamp with a green glass shade on the right side of the desk, switched off, a stack of old hardback books on the left, a tall window behind the desk showing a fading blue evening sky, cool soft dusk light, shallow depth of field, the robot centred and large in frame at eye level, no text, no lettering

End frame prompt
Keep everything in @frame exactly the same: the same tin toy robot in the same pose and position on the same wooden desk, same stack of books on the left, same brass lamp with the green glass shade on the right, same window and framing. Change only the light: the desk lamp is now switched on, its green shade glowing and throwing a warm pool of yellow light across the desk and onto the robot, bright warm highlights on the robot and books, while outside the window the evening sky has darkened to deep night blue and the rest of the room is dimmer.
Motion prompt
Locked-off close shot of a vintage tin wind-up toy robot standing on a dark wooden desk in a dim study, a stack of old books on the left and a brass banker lamp with a green glass shade on the right, a tall window behind showing a dusk sky. The blue evening sky outside the window darkens steadily into deep night and the room grows dimmer, then with a click the desk lamp switches on: the green glass shade lights up and a warm pool of yellow light spreads across the desk and over the robot, bringing out bright highlights on its tin body and the brass of the lamp. The robot stands perfectly still, nothing on the desk moves. Camera locked off. Audio: the quiet hush of a room with a clock ticking softly, then the sharp click of the lamp switch and a faint electric hum, no music.

End frame prompt
Keep everything in @frame exactly the same: the same tin toy robot standing in the same spot on the same wooden desk, same lit brass lamp with the green shade on the right, same books on the left, same night window, same warm lamp light and framing. Change only the robot: its square head has turned to face the camera directly, and its two round glass eyes now glow a bright warm yellow, like two small lit bulbs, with a faint glow on the silver face around them. Body, arms, key and feet unchanged.
Motion prompt
Locked-off close shot of a vintage tin wind-up toy robot standing on a dark wooden desk at night, lit by the warm pool of a brass banker lamp with a green glass shade on the right, a stack of old books on the left, a dark window behind. The robot stands completely still for the first second, then its two round glass eyes flicker twice and light up with a steady warm yellow glow, then its square silver head turns slowly and stiffly to face the camera straight on with a small mechanical creak, and it holds there, eyes glowing, looking at us. Its body, arms, wind-up key and feet do not move and nothing else on the desk moves. Camera locked off. Audio: the lamp hums softly, a small electric click and buzz as the eyes light up, a dry tin creak as the head turns, a wall clock ticking quietly throughout, no music.
One tripod view of a mountain lake and its cabin, three shots, a whole night. Afternoon slides into alpenglow and the cabin lights come on; the sky goes black and fills with stars until the Milky Way arches over the peak; then the stars fade, mist forms on the water and the lights go off for sunrise. Each end frame is the previous frame repainted at a later hour, so the cabin, the rocks and the peaks never move. Birdsong, lapping water and a night chorus of crickets are generated with the picture.
A painted mountain village through one night of snow. Dusk deepens, the chalet windows light up one by one and the first flakes begin to fall; then the snow eases, the sky pales to morning, the lights go out and chimney smoke rises. Each end frame is the same painting with different weather, so nothing on the slope changes. A winter wind and a slow church bell play under both shots.
