VFX Comparison Image Prompt (Before/After) for Nano Banana Pro

空想写真家Nano Banana Pro
A VFX comparison image based on a scene described by the theme or specific content (Example: {argument name="theme" default="A woman flying over the sea"}), featuring the person in the attached image.

VFX comparison composition with a split screen accurately aligned by a central vertical line.
**IMPORTANT: The number of characters, gender, and appearance must exactly match the provided input image. Do not add or remove characters.**

**Left Half (Finished Shot):**
A photorealistic movie scene perfectly depicting the theme "**[Enter Theme]**".
* **Character:** The person from the input image is performing actions (pose and expression) suitable for the theme "**[Enter Theme]**".
* **Background:** A detailed and realistic environment (outdoor or indoor) suitable for the theme, with cinematic lighting and atmosphere.

**Right Half (Green Screen Shooting):**
Standing in a studio with a giant blue/green screen (chroma key) in the **exact same composition and pose** as the person in the left half.
Visible white cyclorama wall, complex lighting rigs overhead, cables, black marks (tape) indicating standing positions, dolly tracks for camera rails, harsh studio lighting that is not blocked, faint shadows of the film crew visible at the edges. The background is a completely flat, solid green screen for compositing.

Look and feel of VFX before-and-after from early 2000s Japanese cinema, texture of extremely degraded, low-quality analog video, noise, and color fading.

YouTube Thumbnail - Hyper-Realistic Candid Night Race Photo with iPhone Flash Aesthetic

OogieNano Banana Pro
Subject: Person in the image

Create a 3:4 hyper-realistic candid night-time event photo in an unedited iPhone rear-camera flash look. Shot handheld at chest-to-face height, close to the Subject, with a wide-angle feel (≈24–26mm equivalent), slight edge distortion, and deep depth-of-field keeping the Subject, nearby crowd, and racetrack background readable.

Vertical medium-close framing from waist to slightly above the head. The Subject stands near a railing at a racing circuit, body angled slightly sideways, one arm bent casually near the railing, the other relaxed. Framing feels rushed and instinctive—slightly off-center, with background elements overlapping and partially cropped.

Direct on-camera flash fires head-on, strongly illuminating the Subject and creating harsh highlights on skin, hair, and racing jacket, with abrupt shadow falloff behind the shoulders. Stadium lights, LED screens, and signage appear in the background as blown highlights and soft bokeh points. Low-level noise and grain remain visible in darker crowd and structure areas.

Phone-style exposure prioritizes the Subject, lifting highlights and compressing shadows. Mild computational sharpening appears along hair strands, jacket seams, printed logos, and facial contours.

The Subject’s expression is alert and slightly distracted, mouth gently parted, gaze directed off-frame as if reacting to live action nearby. The moment feels mid-event and unposed.

The Subject wears a white-and-dark racing-style jacket with visible motorsport branding and patches over a fitted inner top, showing structured fabric, subtle sheen, and natural folds. A thin necklace catches small flash highlights at the collarbone, with jeans and a belt visible at the waist.

The environment is a crowded night racing circuit with railings, spectators, sponsor signage, LED screens, lighting rigs, and structural beams. The background feels busy, noisy, and energetic, adding visual clutter and motion.

The image should feel like a spontaneous iPhone flash photo taken during a live racing event—chaotic, energetic, and human. No cinematic lighting, no editorial posing, no beauty retouching.

Do not change the Subject’s facial features or proportions. The Subject must look 1000% identical to the reference image.

Top frame: An intense close-up of a man’s face (same face as the uploaded image) reflected in a car’s side mirror.

leaning casually against a sleek black muscle car (Ferrari-style). He stands confidently in an industrial alleyway surrounded by concrete walls and urban architecture.

Outfit: fitted black graphic t-shirt, slim gray trousers, brown low-top sneakers. Hands relaxed in pockets, posture confident but effortless. The car's glossy black paint reflects the surroundings, emphasizing power and elegance. Low-angle perspective adds dominance and strength.

Bottom frame: A dramatic rear shot of the

car, taillights glowing softly. A custom license plate is centered, adding authenticity and personality. The alley fades into darkness, with leading lines drawing attention to the vehicle's aggressive stance.

YouTube Thumbnail - Antarctica Penguin Adventure (2 Variations)

C A R L O ™Nano Banana Pro
Prompt Image 1:- A wide-angle selfie photograph in Antarctica showing a man sitting on the snow, surrounded by a large colony of Emperor penguins. The man has short dark hair, a full beard, and is wearing red-lensed metal-frame sunglasses, a dark blue unbuttoned denim jacket over a white crew-neck t-shirt, dark blue cargo pants, and a brown canvas backpack. He is leaning slightly back, holding an orange smartphone in his right hand to take the selfie, with his left hand near the backpack strap. Around him, dozens of adult Emperor penguins are standing and walking on the snow, some close to the camera and others stretching into the distance. The background features massive towering glaciers and ice mountains with white cliffs and blue ice formations, deep snow with visible footprints, and a clear bright blue sky. Bright natural daylight creates crisp shadows, with sharp focus on the man, penguins, and the vast icy landscape, captured from a slightly low perspective that emphasizes scale and isolation.

Prompt Image 2:- A highly detailed, cinematic wide-angle photograph in Antarctica: a handsome young man with short dark neatly styled hair, a full trimmed beard, and a confident expression is kneeling on one knee in the deep snow, gently shaking hands / holding flipper with a large adult Emperor penguin standing upright in front of him. The man is wearing red-tinted metal-frame aviator sunglasses, a dark blue unbuttoned denim jacket over a white crew-neck t-shirt, dark blue cargo pants, brown canvas backpack with straps over both shoulders, white Nike sneakers, and a wristwatch. He is looking at the penguin with a slight smile, his right hand clasping the penguin's flipper. The Emperor penguin is life-size, black head with yellow-orange neck patches, looking directly at the man. Surrounding them is a vast icy Antarctic landscape with massive towering glaciers, snow-covered mountains, blue ice formations, and distant icebergs under a clear bright blue sky. Crisp natural daylight, sharp shadows, high detail on textures of snow, denim fabric, penguin feathers, and facial features. Slightly low camera angle to emphasize scale and adventure, photorealistic style, sharp focus throughout, vibrant yet natural colors & heartwarming composition.
