shot:
type: R2V
reference: <Picture 1>
camera: fixed, eye-level, medium-wide shot capturing full body throughout, no cuts
duration: 15-second continuous sequence, constant tempo throughout
character:
appearance: delegated entirely to <Picture 1>, no additional description
style_separation:
character: cel-shaded anime style, locked to reference image
environment: photorealistic indoor dance studio floor, neutral wall, soft even lighting
action:
sequence_name: thomas_flare_to_windmill_combo
segments:
- segment: intro_setup
duration: approx 0-3s
description: standing neutral pose transitions down into crouched base position, both palms grounding shoulder-width apart, core braced, hips settling to a fixed rotation height
- segment: flare_combo
duration: approx 3-9s
support_pattern: alternating two-hand support, hand-to-hand transfer, no static single-hand hold
description: two continuous flare rotations - right leg sweeps laterally at constant angular velocity, left leg sweeps diagonally downward-forward as support hand transfers, right leg continues diagonally upward with legs held widely split throughout, hips remain the stationary rotation axis with no vertical bounce; cycle repeats once more at identical speed
- segment: transition_to_windmill
duration: approx 9-11s
description: on the final flare rotation, upper back and shoulder lower to the floor while legs continue their circular momentum, torso rolling from the flare's hip-axis rotation into a back-and-shoulder-axis rotation, hands lift off the floor and tuck near the chest as the transition completes
- segment: windmill_execution
duration: approx 11-15s
description: two continuous windmill rotations - legs swing in a wide circular arc overhead while the upper back and shoulders roll across the floor in constant-velocity rotation, legs stay extended and split for momentum, no hands touching the floor for support during this segment
physics_constraints:
- hip axis remains at constant height during the flare segment, no vertical bounce
- leg sweeps driven by hip rotation and knee flexion, not by jumping or floating
- hand-to-floor contact during the flare is continuous except the brief instant of transfer between palms
- the flare-to-windmill transition is a smooth momentum carry-over, not a stop-and-restart
- during the windmill segment, rotation is driven by shoulder-and-back contact with the floor, not by pushing off with hands
- rotation speed stays constant within each segment, no acceleration bursts
- legs stay maximally extended and split during all rotation segments to convey centrifugal force
lighting: soft studio lighting, consistent throughout, no flicker
