The cast and locations

Each one was generated once as a reference image, then reused in every shot it appears in.

  • farmhouse_kitchen — Create one clean single-image environment plate of a modest Midwest farmhouse kitchen at night during a violent rainstorm: dark practical interior, old porcelain sink under a small warm dim lamp, rain-streaked window looking toward a cornfield, worn cabinetry, believable lived-in details, deep shadows and reflections on wet glass. Cinematic realistic horror, restrained production design, no people, no scarecrows visible, no text, no logos. This plate is a continuity anchor for the sink, window, and dark farmhouse interior. Appears in 2 shots.
  • lily — Create a production identity reference sheet for Lily, an 8-year-old Midwestern farm girl in simple blue-gray pajamas, small child proportions, shoulder-length light brown hair, slightly messy from sleep, practical barefoot or socked appearance. Four clear views on one clean neutral studio background: front identity view, left profile, right profile, and back three-quarter view. Realistic cinematic horror continuity reference, natural child proportions, subdued colors, no text, no logos. The finished video must show Lily only from behind or in silhouette; this sheet is for identity continuity, not a permission to show her face on camera. Appears in 3 shots.
  • mother — Create a production identity reference sheet for Lily’s mother, a practical Midwestern farmhouse mother in her late 30s to early 40s, average build, dark shoulder-length hair loosely tied back, muted cream long-sleeve shirt and dark work skirt or jeans, grounded and believable. Four clear views on one clean neutral studio background: front identity view, left profile, right profile, and back three-quarter view. Realistic cinematic horror continuity reference, subdued colors, no text, no logos. The finished video must show Mother only from behind or in silhouette; this sheet is for identity continuity, not a permission to show her face on camera. Appears in 3 shots.
  • wedding_ring_hand_straw — Create a clean production detail reference of one realistic adult woman’s hand wearing a simple understated wedding ring, sleeve cuff visible, with a small amount of loose straw dust and straw crumbs nearby on a dark wet farmhouse tile floor. The hand must be anatomically natural and practical, suitable for reaching from a hidden backlit figure beneath a kitchen table. No face, no body, no text, no logos. Realistic cinematic horror continuity reference, restrained and non-gory. Appears in 2 shots.
  • kitchen_table — Create a clean single-image production prop reference of a heavy, worn Midwest farmhouse kitchen table in dark wood, viewed at a low three-quarter angle that clearly shows the open space beneath it large enough for a small child to hide. Practical construction, scuffed legs, modest farmhouse wear, rain-cooled blue reflections from a nearby window and a faint warm lamp edge. Realistic cinematic horror continuity reference, no people, no text, no logos. Keep the underside and surrounding tile relationship readable for under-table shots. Appears in 3 shots.
  • farmhouse_hallway_front_door — Create one clean single-image environment plate of the same modest Midwest farmhouse at night, showing a dark hallway leading from the warm dim kitchen doorway to the closed front door. The front door must be clearly readable for a three-knock climax; include dark floorboards, deep storm shadows, a narrow spill of warm kitchen light, and rain-muted darkness around the entrance. Realistic cinematic horror continuity reference, no people, no phone, no text, no logos. Match a violent Halloween thunderstorm outside without showing the exterior. Appears in 1 shot.

Shot by shot

The finished film runs 0:36 across 3 shots.

  • Shot 1 — A realistic cinematic horror clip guided by three storyboard frames in shot order. Image 1 is Lily diving beneath the table; Image 2 is the low bare-feet view; Image 3 is the feet turning toward the table. Preserve the same farmhouse kitchen, worn table, wet tile, rain-streaked window and warm lamp. Shot 1: Lily dives beneath the table and curls around her knees, phone in hand, seen only from behind or in silhouette. Lightning, rain, thunder and fast breathing. Shot 2: Low under-table view: Mother only as bare feet and lower hidden silhouette at the sink, perfectly still, straw crumbs on wet tile, faucet running. Shot 3: The bare feet turn toward the table and take slow wet steps, leaving more straw; Mother’s face never enters frame. No Mother face, profile or reflection; no Lily face or eyes; no gore, music, captions, subtitles, titles, logos, watermarks or added text. Embedded sound only. Features lily, mother, farmhouse_kitchen, kitchen_table.
  • Shot 2 — A realistic cinematic horror continuation guided by three storyboard frames in shot order. Image 1 is Mother’s hidden kneeling silhouette and reaching hand; Image 2 is the ring and falling straw; Image 3 is Lily’s lit phone. Continue the same kitchen, table, wet tile, storm and hidden-face framing. Shot 1: Mother kneels only as a backlit silhouette, face entirely in shadow; one ringed hand reaches under the table and she says gently {Lily. Don’t look at the windows. Look at me.} Shot 2: Close on ring and hand as straw dust falls from the sleeve onto wet tile; tiny rustle. Shot 3: Lily’s phone lights beneath the table; Dad’s compressed phone voice says urgently {Get away from her. That’s not your mother.} Mother only silhouette, feet or hand; Lily only behind-facing or silhouetted; embedded rain, rustle and dialogue; no music, captions, subtitles, titles, logos, watermarks or added text. Features lily, mother, farmhouse_kitchen, kitchen_table, wedding_ring_hand_straw.
  • Shot 3 — An 8-second realistic cinematic horror final clip guided by three storyboard frames in shot order. Image 1 is the still ringed-hand frame; Image 2 is the hallway and hidden Mother silhouette; Image 3 is Lily’s final back-facing silhouette before black. Continue the same kitchen, table, wet tile, straw, hallway, closed front door and storm. Shot 1: Ringed hand stays perfectly still beneath the table. Mother stays hidden and says softly {Baby... hang up the phone.} Shot 2: Three slow knocks hit the closed front door. Mother’s backlit silhouette snaps toward the hallway, face completely hidden. Shot 3: Dad’s real voice comes muffled through the door {Lily? Open the door. It’s Dad.} while the compressed phone voice says {Don’t. Open. It.} Hold on Lily’s frightened back-facing silhouette with phone, then hard cut to black and silence. No Mother face/profile/reflection, no Lily face/eyes, no gore, music, captions, subtitles, titles, logos, watermarks or added text. Distinguish the muffled door voice from the compressed phone voice. Features lily, mother, farmhouse_hallway_front_door, kitchen_table, wedding_ring_hand_straw.

How it was made

  • 2 characters and 2 locations were designed as reference images before a single shot was generated — that is what keeps a face the same from one scene to the next.
  • Generated environments with nano_banana_2_1; characters with nano_banana_2_1; clips with seedance_2; props with nano_banana_2_1; stills with nano_banana_2_1; contact_sheets with nano_banana_2_1 and gpt_image_2_5.
  • 21 assets in all — 9 stills, 3 clips, 3 contact_sheets, 2 environments, 2 characters, 2 props.
  • Dialogue and effects were generated inside the clips themselves.
