A 15-second ultra-realistic documentary-style portrait video, shot on a full-frame cinema camera with a 50mm lens. Natural afternoon window light, slight handheld movement, shallow depth of field, no beauty filter, and no excessive color grading. An elderly female ceramic artist works alone in a quiet studio, making a ceramic bowl. Her silver hair is loosely tied at the back; her face has real wrinkles, her fingers are slightly dry, and clay is visible beneath her fingernails. She wears a faded linen shirt and a clay-stained apron. [0s-6s] Close-up of her hands shaping wet clay on a pottery wheel. The clay surface is not perfectly smooth; it shows moisture and fine texture while rotating steadily. Her fingers press into the clay naturally. [6s-11s] The camera slowly moves upward to her face. She watches the clay with quiet concentration and blinks naturally. Real skin texture, fine lines, pores, and slight facial asymmetry are visible. [11s-15s] She pauses, gently wipes her forehead with the back of her wrist, looks back at the clay, and gives a very faint smile. Avoid AI-like glossy skin, excessive skin smoothing, perfectly symmetrical faces, rubbery hands, incorrect fingers, and unrealistic clay physics.
