An autumn street turns into the end of the world
One golden-hour selfie went in. Out came a zombie couple video where he turns, she raises a bat and cannot swing it, and the story ends back on the same smile. His face stays his, even under the grey skin, which is the whole point of the trend.
Start from the uploaded photo and keep both people's faces, hair and clothes recognisable throughout. Shot 1: the same couple stands on the same autumn street, now abandoned at dusk with overturned cars and drifting smoke; the man has turned into a zombie, grey cracked skin, clouded pale eyes and a torn denim jacket, but he is still clearly him. The woman in the mustard sweater raises a baseball bat toward him, hands shaking, tears on her cheeks. Shot 2: close-up of the zombie man; he stops, tilts his head and softly recognises her. Shot 3: she drops the bat and hugs him tightly as orange leaves fall around them. Final shot: a quick warm cut back to the sunny original moment, both smiling at the camera. Cinematic, emotional, sad and sweet, not gory. Soft piano score.
