Universal Prompt Prompt:
This shot presents an extreme close-up of a person with striking blue circuit-like patterns meticulously painted on their face. The composition utilizes an asymmetrical approach, with the blue veins creating leading lines that draw attention across the face in an unbalanced pattern. The electric blue markings start from the left side and branch outward like technological veins or circuit pathways, creating visual tension against the natural skin tones.
The lighting is flat and evenly distributed, likely from diffused frontal sources in what appears to be an indoor setting with neutral walls visible in the background. This lighting choice eliminates harsh shadows and allows the bright blue pigment to stand out starkly against the skin. There's slight reflection in the widely opened eyes, enhancing their glassy, almost artificial appearance.
The subject wears a dark gray jacket over what appears to be a black shirt, creating a subdued backdrop that puts all focus on the face and the striking makeup effect. The color contrast between the electric blue lines and the natural skin tone creates a compelling visual dichotomy—organic versus synthetic.
The exaggerated facial expression features unnaturally widened eyes and slightly compressed lips, suggesting a transformation or revelation. This expression, combined with the circuit patterns, evokes themes of technological integration with humanity, biohacking, or cybernetic enhancement.
The overall composition maintains tension between the natural human elements and the artificial circuit patterns. The blue veins appear to be deliberately designed to mimic both technological circuitry and biological systems like blood vessels or neural pathways, creating an ambiguous visual metaphor that blurs the line between organic and synthetic.
The indoor setting appears clinical and neutral, with diffused lighting that gives the scene a controlled, laboratory-like quality that reinforces the technological/experimental themes. The shallow depth of field keeps the focus entirely on the face while allowing the background to fade into a neutral blur.
The makeup application shows careful attention to detail, with varying thicknesses in the blue lines suggesting different types of connections or power levels in this imagined circuit system. Some lines branch out in fractal-like patterns while others maintain more geometric angles, adding complexity to the design that rewards closer inspection.

Camera 1
Movement Type: Minimal dolly push forward (very slow). Action: Eyes widen marginally wider, blue veins appear to pulse subtly. Details: Extremely gradual approach at 0.25x normal speed, shallow depth of field maintained, focus locked on facial features, breathing barely perceptible, tension builds through proximity.
Camera 2
Movement Type: Minimal orbit around subject (very slow). Action: Slight head tilt reveals more circuit patterns extending down neck. Details: Counterclockwise movement at 15° per second, maintaining extreme close-up framing, gradually revealing additional blue circuitry continuing beyond jawline, shifting perspective highlights three-dimensionality of painted patterns.
Camera 3
Movement Type: Transforms. Action: Circuit lines glow brighter, pulse with internal light as if activating. Details: Subtle digital enhancement transitioning from painted lines to illuminated pathways, spreading systematically from eyes outward, suggesting technological awakening, transformation completes in 3 seconds with final bright pulse before returning to painted state.

Prompt 1
An extreme close-up reveals a person with striking blue circuit-like patterns painted across their face. Shot in a sterile indoor environment with neutral lighting that emphasizes the vivid blue lines against skin. The wide-eyed expression and asymmetrical design of the face paint creates an unsettling, otherworldly quality that blends human and technological elements.
