One blink: cover and reveal the same eyes

Original, untested video brief. No input image or generated result is supplied.

1. Task and boundary

Show one relaxed blink in a steady portrait. The eyelids progressively cover the same eyes, meet briefly, then reopen to the starting gaze. The eye shapes must not simply dissolve into painted lines. This narrow action makes the moving occlusion boundary and the return of the same irises directly reviewable.

This is an original, untested visual plan. Use a neutral adult portrait with both eyes unobstructed. Exclude winking, gaze changes, smiling, head motion and a looping series of blinks. It is not an examination of ocular health or normal blink speed.

2. Authorized first frame

Use your own or authorized photograph or accurate illustration. Both irises, upper and lower lids, eye corners, eyebrows and nose bridge should be distinct. A near-frontal view helps separate closure from an eye turning away.

Choose soft steady light without a hand, glasses or heavy shadow crossing the eyes. Keep enough face around the crop to detect drift. Before drafting, note which part of each iris is covered already by the upper lid; reopening should return to that original relaxed aperture, not produce enlarged eyes.

3. Use the generator

Open the current image-to-video generator in a mode accepting your authorized first frame. Paste the prompt; check settings and cost before submission. Nothing runs automatically.

4. Prompt and timing

Begin from my authorized adult portrait with both eyes open in a relaxed forward gaze. Keep the camera, lighting, head, eyebrows, mouth and nose position steady. Perform one gentle blink: the original upper lids travel downward over the same stationary irises, with only modest lower-lid movement, until both eyes briefly close. Keep the eyelid edges joined to the original inner and outer corners. Then lift those same lids to reveal the original eyes and return to the starting aperture and gaze. Preserve iris color, eye spacing and facial identity throughout. Let the closure be brief but visibly continuous; do not replace open eyes with a different drawing or fade their texture away. End with both eyes open. No wink, second blink, pupil glance, smile, head turn, tear, cut or camera movement.

Opening quarter: record both eye corners, iris positions and the initial aperture.
Middle half: inspect the descending lid edge, brief closure and the same edge rising again.
Final quarter: compare the reopened eyes with the start; stop before another blink occurs.

5. Inspect the output

For each check, record a frame or time, observation and pass, fail or inconclusive judgment.

Coverage increases behind a moving lid boundary, not by disappearance of the irises.
Both eyes close during the same single blink without becoming a prolonged wink.
Inner and outer eye corners stay attached and retain their spacing.
Reopening reveals the same iris colors and original forward gaze.
The face stays still enough to distinguish lid motion from a changed view.
If closure is skipped between visible frames, mark the closed phase inconclusive rather than inferring it from open endpoints.

6. Fix one failure

The eyes melt into lines: describe the lid edge covering the iris and retain the corners.
The irises wander: remove gaze wording beyond the original forward direction.
Eyebrows bounce with the blink: retain a relaxed expression and isolate lid movement.
Closure is uninspectably fast: request a clearer single transition, without claiming an exact frame count.

7. Ending and limits

End with the same two eyes open at their original aperture and the adult’s expression unchanged.

Save your result, authorized input, exact prompt, settings and inspection notes.

No generated clip, timing benchmark or clinical interpretation is provided. A plausible blink does not validate hidden eye anatomy.

The gaze-and-turn exercise changes pupil direction and then head orientation. Here gaze stays fixed and eyelids temporarily occlude the eyes; eye color changes would not alter this task.
