Use the uploaded portrait image as the only character reference. Preserve the same face, hairstyle, clothing, skin tone, body proportions, and overall identity throughout the video.

Create a vertical 9:16 **character-focused VFX template video**.

Use the reference image as the visual foundation, subtly animate the character, then apply layered motion-graphics and compositing effects directly to the person. Do not create unrelated new scenes.

Character movement should remain controlled and natural: slight head turns, shoulder movement, body shifts, hand gestures, hair movement, subtle forward motion, and confident pose changes.

Treat the character as a separated foreground layer with independent visual effects.

### Background Music

Use **traditional Indian instrumental music** with clear rhythmic percussion and melodic phrasing.

Main musical elements:
tabla, dholak, pakhawaj, manjira, sitar, bansuri, sarangi, and tanpura.

The music should feel rhythmic, elegant, festive, cinematic, and authentically Indian.

Synchronize the character effects with the music:

* **Tabla / Dholak beats:** Motion Echo, pose changes, character slices
* **Pakhawaj accents:** Freeze Frame, Punch Zoom, 2.5D depth impact
* **Manjira accents:** RGB Split, Glow Outline, White Flash
* **Sitar / Bansuri / Sarangi phrases:** smoother character movement and slower visual transitions
* **Musical climax:** Multi-Layer Character Composition and final impact sequence

The editing rhythm should follow:

**clean character → percussion accent → short VFX hit → clean character → pose change → next beat effect.**

### Character Cutout Reveal

Start from the original reference composition.

Create a clean character cutout.

Briefly separate the character from the background using a fast **Punch Zoom**, soft background blur, and short **Freeze Frame Accent**, then return to natural motion.

### Motion Echo

On strong percussion beats, create 2–4 semi-transparent echoes of the same character.

The echoes trail horizontally or diagonally behind the main character with slight timing delays and different blur strengths.

Keep the main character sharp.

Expand the echoes outward on consecutive beats, then rapidly merge them back into one character.

### Glow Outline + RGB Split

On a sharp percussion accent, create a brief glowing contour around the character.

Add slight red, green, and blue edge separation around the silhouette.

The colored layers separate for one beat, then immediately snap back into alignment.

Keep the face clear.

### Freeze Cutout + 2.5D Punch

On a strong pakhawaj or drum hit, briefly freeze the character.

Push the character cutout slightly toward the camera while the background shifts backward, creating a short 2.5D depth impact.

Add a quick bright exposure pulse, then immediately resume natural motion.

### Character Slice

Split the character into several vertical or diagonal masked sections.

On consecutive beats, shift the sections slightly in different directions using small position offsets, scale changes, and directional motion blur.

Quickly reconnect all sections into one complete character.

### Foreground Echo Wipe

Create a large blurred duplicate of the same character that rapidly sweeps across the foreground.

Use the blurred character as a transition:

**clean pose → blurred character sweep → new pose → sharp reset.**

Synchronize the sweep with a strong tabla or dholak accent.

### Pixel Stretch / Motion Smear

On another strong beat, briefly stretch the moving character vertically or horizontally.

Create a fast directional smear extending from the silhouette.

The effect lasts only a fraction of a second, then immediately returns to normal proportions.

### Multi-Layer Character Composition

Create three layers from the same character:

* sharp main character in the center
* enlarged blurred copy behind
* smaller semi-transparent copy offset to one side

Animate the layers outward with the Indian percussion rhythm.

On the next strong beat, rapidly merge all layers back into one character.

### Final Character Impact

During the final musical climax, use:

**Motion Echo
→ Character Slice
→ Punch Zoom
→ Freeze Frame
→ RGB Split
→ White Flash
→ Snap Focus Reset
→ clean hero portrait.**

End with the character clearly visible in a confident final pose.

### Priority

1. Stable character identity
2. Traditional Indian music synchronization
3. Accurate character-layer VFX
4. Strong Motion Echo and Cutout effects
5. Natural pose changes
6. Clean return to the character after every effect

Keep all effects brief, rhythmic, and synchronized with Indian percussion.

Do not replace the character.
Do not change clothing or hairstyle.
Do not add additional real people.
Do not create exaggerated dancing.
No unrelated new scenes.
No text, subtitles, logos, or watermarks.
