From a room photograph
to a family moment.
A 25-second performance test with Pa Mbeng and Namondo on the couch. This page keeps the source images, review decisions, generation stage and final video together.
The native couch photograph and first character still are saved. The story still needs a cup-count correction before animation; creator approval is pending. A new video has not yet been submitted.
Photograph the set.
Native V8 compound · Camera A · 38mm · Night lighting study. The couch, window, blind, curtains and room geometry come directly from the built set.
Download source photograph ↓The camera faces the couch at seated eye level. Warm practical light and a restrained cool fill establish a quiet evening. Pa will sit on the left of the image, Namondo immediately to his right.
This is a new set-based test. It preserves the earlier approved Scene 15 clip as a separate version.
Identity references
Place the couple in the photograph.
Nano Banana Pro uses the native room photograph and both approved character sheets to create one 2K, 16:9 story image. The room controls geometry; each character sheet controls its own identity and clothing. The output is a painterly, cel-shaded interpretation for review.
