Recognition
One person has changed. The other still recognizes them.
Two portraits · one last embrace
One person has already turned. The other recognizes that face and opens their arms. Create the hug—and the warm memory behind it—from two portraits.
Build your story
Two clear portraits work best.
Choose the memory
ROLE LOCK - SURVIVOR = @Image2. This person stays fully human in every shot. - TURNED LOVED ONE = @Image1. This person has the fictional zombie look only in the cold scene and is fully healthy in the warm memory. - Take each person's face, hair, body proportions, and recognizable clothing details only from their own reference. Keep the two identities separate and never exchange their roles. Show only these two adults. FORMAT One 15-second photorealistic cinematic video, vertical 9:16, natural motion, 35mm film look. Follow the five-shot order exactly. Use direct cuts only. SHOT 1 — 0.0-1.5s — EXTREME CLOSE-UP In a deserted snow-covered city street at blue hour beneath a cold streetlight, show the TURNED LOVED ONE's face clearly: the exact face and hair from @Image1. The transformation changes only two visible features: smooth matte ash-grey skin and pale milky eyes. Keep the facial skin intact and the expression sad but recognizable. Slow push-in. Cold blue-grey light. SHOT 2 — 1.5-3.0s — EMOTIONAL CLOSE-UP Cut to the SURVIVOR from @Image2. They recognize the loved one and their fear changes into tenderness. At the start of this close-up, one distinct tear is already pooled at the lower eyelid; it rolls slowly down the camera-facing cheek and catches the cold light, remaining clearly visible. Their eyes stay open and fixed on the loved one. Keep the expression controlled and natural—no sobbing or distorted face. A palm-sized silver flashlight with a narrow beam is held below the chin, aimed down and away from the face so it does not hide the tear. The turned loved one remains visible behind them. SHOT 3 — 3.0-4.5s — MEDIUM SHOT The SURVIVOR immediately switches off the flashlight, releases it beside their leg, and opens both empty arms in one clear motion. SHOT 4 — 4.5-7.0s — LOCKED SIDE-VIEW TWO-SHOT Both people are full-body profiles. As soon as the SURVIVOR's arms open, the TURNED LOVED ONE—with smooth ash-grey skin and pale milky eyes—takes two quick steps and makes a heartfelt leap toward the embrace. Do not pause. At the peak of the leap, make an instantaneous single-frame hard match cut. The next frame is the warm memory, with no blended transition frames or location morph. SHOT 5 — 7.0-15.0s — MATCHED WARM MEMORY The very first frame after the cut is a bright summer beach at golden hour, with warm sunlight reflecting on the water. Keep the same locked side-view camera, profile angle, body size, screen positions, and direction of movement. On that first memory frame, both people are already fully healthy: smooth natural warm skin, clear bright eyes, relaxed faces, and no remaining fictional makeup. Continue the same movement as the SURVIVOR catches the LOVED ONE. They embrace without spinning or rotating. Maintain a fixed three-quarter side angle throughout the warm memory. Keep both faces, or at minimum both facial profiles, continuously visible to the camera. Neither person turns their back to the camera, and the camera never moves behind either person. They settle into a close hug and share a clearly visible laugh. Golden-hour backlight and a very slow dolly-in. CONTINUITY Keep both faces stable and clearly recognizable, clothing details consistent, bodies separate, and hands and arms natural. Show only these two adults. AUDIO Cold wind, soft footsteps, and one quiet breath in shots 1-4. At the match cut, resolve into warm environmental ambience and soft emotional piano. No dialogue. OUTPUT CLEANUP No captions, subtitles, logos, watermarks, extra people, or duplicate bodies.

This purpose-made 15-second example was produced from two adult reference portraits using the same workflow as the generator. It is not a customer order; private customer results are never added to the public gallery.
See the full example and scene ideas →The zombie hug is the emotional center of the same short-form format often called the zombie love story. A cold present-day reunion builds tension, the human chooses recognition over fear, and the fastest moment of the embrace hides a hard cut into a warm shared memory.
One person has changed. The other still recognizes them.
The flashlight drops and open arms replace fear.
They close the distance while both identities remain distinct.
A hard match cut returns the same pair to a warmer day.
The production story stays consistent while the setting changes from a cold present to a warmer memory. These are the three scenes currently available in the generator.
Present: A familiar face waits beneath a cold streetlight.
Memory: The embrace continues on a bright summer beach.
Present: They recognize each other on an empty seaside pier.
Memory: The same pier glows with fairground lights years earlier.
Present: A distant figure crosses a dry field at dusk.
Memory: Golden flowers surround the same two people at sunset.
Yes. Zombie hug describes the central embrace; zombie love story describes the full recognition-to-memory narrative around it.
Use two separate, clear adult portraits—one for each person. Front-facing or three-quarter photos with visible shoulders work best.
Yes. Use the swap control before generating to choose which uploaded person turns and which person remains human.
No. The production prompt uses restrained fictional makeup, keeps the face recognizable, and stages the survivor's choice with a small flashlight.
