Master Prompt
Create a photorealistic 9:16 vertical wildlife-documentary video filmed at the Seletar Simpang Kiri River bank in northern Singapore on 18 September 2026 at approximately 9:00 AM.
Use the supplied river photograph as the visual reference for the environment: a clean-looking green river with gentle natural ripples, dense lush tropical vegetation, broad green leaves and grasses along the riverbank. A gentle morning breeze continuously moves the grass and leaves. Bright sunny morning, clear blue sky and soft natural sunlight.
Use the supplied Centaur Oak-blue butterfly photograph as the visual reference for the butterfly's appearance. Preserve its distinctive metallic purple upper wing surface, delicate blue-purple coloration and small size. The butterfly must remain biologically realistic and should not be enlarged or given exaggerated colours.
Characters
Grandfather:
A 70-year-old broad-shouldered Chinese man, tanned complexion, kind eyes, short grey hair, wearing spectacles, a green T-shirt, black pants and white walking shoes. He carries a Canon R5 camera with a wildlife zoom lens, hanging naturally from his shoulder or held ready for photography.
Ya Ya:
A 7-year-old Chinese girl with long dark hair, wearing a white T-shirt, brown long pants and white walking shoes. She stands to the left of her grandfather, looking with genuine curiosity and delight at the butterfly.
Scene
The grandfather and Ya Ya are walking slowly beside the river, enjoying the peaceful morning outdoors.
A Centaur Oak-blue butterfly rests on a blade of grass on a sloping grassy patch immediately beside the clear green water. Its wings catch the sunlight, revealing the beautiful metallic purple upper surface.
Nearby, small dragonflies and yellow butterflies flutter naturally among the grasses and vegetation. The river surface reflects the surrounding greenery, while gentle wind-driven ripples move continuously across the water.
The grandfather notices the butterfly and quietly points toward it. Ya Ya moves closer but does not touch or disturb it.
Dialogue
Grandfather, softly and naturally:
“Ya Ya, this butterfly with a metallic purple upper wing surface is a Centaur Oak-blue. It is rare in Singapore.”
Ya Ya, amazed:
“Wow, Grandpa! It’s so beautiful!”
The grandfather smiles and photographs the butterfly with his Canon R5. Ya Ya watches quietly beside him.
