Use the supplied finished master image as frame one and maintain its exact character, set, materials and visual medium for one continuous 20-second shot. The camera is completely locked off on a tripod: identical focal length, optical centre, framing and exposure throughout. No cuts, no zoom, no pan, no tilt, no orbit. The following is intended choreography; make the physical movement natural and legible, with brief clear holds between actions. 0-3 seconds: the keeper looks from the captured sun in her hands to the empty cradle and takes one small step toward it. 3-6 seconds: she gently draws away the thin protective cloth with her left hand while her right hand supports the sun. 6-9 seconds: both hands lower the sphere into the open cradle. At the end it rests securely in the bowl, no longer floating or attached to a hand. 9-12 seconds: she releases it, lowers her left hand, and turns the small vertical wheel on the front of the pedestal one quarter turn with her right hand. 12-15 seconds: the sphere brightens, warm illumination advances through the existing circular mechanism; the ring itself remains attached to its supports and does not transform into a new object. 15-18 seconds: the keeper takes her right hand off the wheel, lifts her chin and watches the ring, visibly moved by the light. 18-20 seconds: she settles into a quiet smile; hold the final composition. Her gaze stays on the prop and ring, never searches for the camera. One keeper, one sphere, one cradle, one ring throughout. Hands always keep plausible contact and fingers; no duplicated props or bodies, no teleportation, no restaging of the room. Diegetic sound only: fabric, footstep, gentle brass contact, wheel ratchet, a resonant mechanical awakening and coastal room tone. No dialogue, no singing, no music, no score, no titles, no subtitles.
The cloth remains visibly draped over her left wrist once removed, rather than vanishing. Keep the sphere physically round after it sits in the cradle. She can reach the existing wheel naturally without the torso or hands passing through the pedestal. When the ring awakens, its existing engraved track glows progressively like sunrise and spreads warm reflected light across the floor and architectural details. Preserve the exact graphic painted style, flat shapes and brush-cut edges throughout the animation, including her face; do not make it photoreal.
