[I2V — use @image1, @image2] @image1 = PLAYER A — 100% match to input image 1 @image2 = PLAYER B — 100% match to input image 2 16:9 landscape, the frame filled edge to edge. Even if both reference images are portrait, no black bars, letterboxing, borders or picture-in-picture. A 30-second high-speed sports-anime table tennis duel, PLAYER A vs PLAYER B, hand-drawn 2D animation. Cut straight into a match already in progress. One point is decided, the two players catch their breath for a moment, and the next point erupts at once — the match keeps going after the video ends. Only the two players are in frame. Never duplicate either player. Never swap their identities, faces, hairstyles, clothing or accessories. ================================================== STYLE ================================================== In every shot, including the fastest action, the characters strictly keep the painterly language of the reference images: contemporary magazine-illustration figure painting, broad, flat planes of brushwork, anatomy and clothing folds carved into hard-edged, angular geometric planes, visible dry-brush edges, matte painted texture, skin lit warm and textured by the hard overhead lamp light. The players are always painted. Never live-action, never a photograph, never a cut-out of real people pasted onto a hand-drawn background. Motion style — sports anime: Fast action advances in clearly discrete steps, roughly twelve distinct drawings per second, crisp and forceful, never smooth interpolation; on the fastest swings the arm stretches along the swing path for one frame, leaving a dry-brush smear, then snaps back to solid; on key ball contacts the picture freezes completely on a single painting, holds for a beat, then lurches back into motion; on the heaviest strikes, thick black ink speed lines rush in from the frame edges toward the center of the action. Ball trail: the small cream-white ball drags a short, thin streak of light behind it — warm orange after PLAYER A hits it, cool teal after PLAYER B hits it. Thin and clean, never wider than the ball's flight path. Color: deep indigo shadows, warm lamp light, a glowing slate-blue table, a cream-white ball, orange and teal accents, dim magenta and green graffiti in the far background. No 3D rendering. No photorealistic style. No live-action footage. No smooth digital cel shading. No outline strokes on the characters. No glossy reflections. No hazy bloom. No lightning, explosions or energy-burst effects. ================================================== TABLE SPATIAL LAYOUT — LOCKED, HIGHEST PRIORITY ================================================== One standard table, 2.74 meters long, with the net across the middle. PLAYER A is always at the left end. PLAYER B is always at the right end. The net is always between them. Side-on shots: PLAYER A on the left of the frame, PLAYER B on the right, the whole table between them. Shot from behind PLAYER A: PLAYER B stands small at the far end, facing the camera. Shot from behind PLAYER B: PLAYER A stands small at the far end, facing the camera. Neither player ever crosses to the other's side, ever leans over the net, ever reaches across the net. Their bodies never overlap and never appear on the same side of the net. ================================================== EQUIPMENT — REAL TABLE TENNIS ================================================== Paddle: a small, hard wooden blade covered with a thin red rubber, about the size of one hand, with a light wood handle, shakehand grip. It is rigid. It never bends, dents, glows or emits anything. Ball: only one small cream-white 40 mm table tennis ball — about a quarter of the paddle's width. Never deformed, never squashed, never enlarged. Contact with the paddle is an instantaneous brush of friction. Scale stays correct in every shot. ================================================== CHARACTERS ================================================== PLAYER A (input image 1) — left end: Young man, tall, a heavily muscled athlete's build, broad shoulders, thick, veiny forearms, very short light-brown buzz cut, light green eyes, thick straight eyebrows, a square, strong jaw, full lips, a stern expression, light gray sleeveless tank top with orange-red panels on the shoulders and sides, navy shorts with red-and-white vertical stripes down the sides, right hand holding a red-rubber shakehand paddle with a light wood handle, no jewelry, no wristbands. Playing style: power attacker — heavy forehand loops and smashes. PLAYER B (input image 2) — right end: Young man, a lean, solid athlete's build, long legs, well-defined calves, fluffy, curly golden-brown hair falling over the forehead, blue-gray eyes, a narrowed, sharp gaze, a small silver hoop earring in each ear, navy short-sleeved open-collar shirt, loose fit, a white crew-neck undershirt showing at the collar, a thin gold chain necklace with one small red pendant, white shorts, a blue wristband on the right wrist, a red wristband on the left wrist, a silver ring on the left hand, right hand holding a red-rubber shakehand paddle with a light wood handle. Playing style: fast counter-attacker — nimble footwork, a sharp backhand, plays close to the table. ================================================== SCENE ================================================== A night-time underground table tennis arena, painted in bold graphic planes. One slate-blue table with white edge lines, a low dark net with a white tape top, two industrial pendant lamps casting hard cones of warm light. Outside the light cones: deep indigo. Stands rise steeply into darkness some distance away, packed with spectators — faceless, flat black silhouettes, heads and shoulders only, row upon row like paper cut-outs, their edges rim-lit by the stray light of the lamps. They react graphically: rows rising to their feet, arms thrust up like spikes, leaning forward together. On the far wall behind the highest rows of the stands, huge, dim magenta and fluorescent green graffiti, never directly behind the table. Dust motes drift in the light cones. The table, net, lamps and layout never change. ================================================== ACTION — 34 CAMERA SETUPS ================================================== Point one — already in progress 0.0–1.0s S1 — Open mid-swing with no lead-in. A close tracking shot beside PLAYER A at the left end, camera at hip height, as he whips through a topspin forehand loop. The ball leaves his paddle trailing an orange streak. The crowd's roar is already at full volume. 1.0–1.8s S2 — Net-post camera: the camera is fixed at the net post at the side of the net, looking down the table toward PLAYER B. The ball drops across the net, flashes past the lens, and bounces once on PLAYER B's side. 1.8–2.5s S3 — Low angle from behind PLAYER B: he blocks with a short, sharp backhand, and the ball springs back toward PLAYER A at the far end, trailing teal. 2.5–3.2s S4 — Ground level below the table edge on PLAYER A's side, aimed at his feet: two quick side-shuffle steps, shoe soles squeaking, planting in a wide stance. 3.2–4.0s S5 — Overhead shot from directly above the lamp: a graphic composition, a blue rectangle, PLAYER A on the left, PLAYER B on the right. PLAYER A rallies on the diagonal; the orange streak slashes across the table. 4.0–4.6s S6 — A tilted-composition close-up of PLAYER B's face as he tracks the ball — curls bouncing, earrings flashing, eyes locked. 4.6–5.3s S7 — Side-on wide shot at tabletop height, PLAYER A on the left, PLAYER B on the right: B counters on the rise — the moment the ball bounces up he drives it straight back, teal. 5.3–6.2s S8 — Shot from behind PLAYER A, the camera whipping hard to the right with him as he lunges wide to reach a forehand. The arm stretches along the swing path for one frame, dry-brush smear, snapping back to solid. He saves the ball, but it floats up high. 6.2–7.0s S9 — Looking up from tabletop height on PLAYER B's side: the ball drifts high and slow over the net toward him — a weak return. PLAYER B's figure moves under the ball, paddle drawn back. 7.0–7.6s S10 — The picture freezes on a single painting: PLAYER B at the top of his backswing, loaded, the ball hanging above his paddle, black ink speed lines converging on the ball. Hold for a beat. 7.6–8.2s S11 — The smash. A close-up of PLAYER B's paddle arm whipping through — contact — the ball shoots out as a vicious teal streak. 8.2–8.8s S12 — Shot from behind PLAYER A at the left end: the teal streak bounces on his side and flies past his paddle as he dives for it — missing by only a few centimeters. 8.8–9.6s S13 — Ground level far behind PLAYER A: the ball bounces once on the floor and rolls into the darkness toward the stands, slower and slower. 9.6–11.0s S14 — Shot from the highest rows of the stands, a whole wall of silhouetted heads in the foreground: the crowd erupts, row after row rising, black arms thrust up like spikes. Far below in the light cone, PLAYER B at the right end pumps a clenched fist; PLAYER A at the left end straightens up, breathing hard. Reset — catching breath 11.0–12.6s S15 — A slow push-in on PLAYER A's face, lit from the side by the lamp: sweat at his temple, jaw clenched, eyes on the floor, then lifting to look at PLAYER B. The crowd's sound fades away. 12.6–13.8s S16 — Close-up of PLAYER A's left hand as he pulls a fresh ball from his shorts pocket and taps it on the table on his side — once, twice. Tok. Tok. 13.8–15.0s S17 — Telephoto from behind PLAYER A: PLAYER B at the far end drops into a ready stance, rolls his shoulders, paddle raised, glaring back. Shallow depth of field — PLAYER A's shoulder blurred in the foreground. Point two — faster 15.0–15.8s S18 — Extreme close-up: PLAYER A's flat open palm with the ball resting on it. He tosses the ball straight up. The camera tilts up briefly with the ball. 15.8–16.4s S19 — Side-on low angle: PLAYER A serves — a crisp short sidespin. The ball bounces once on his side, crosses the net, and bounces once near the net on PLAYER B's side, orange. 16.4–17.0s S20 — Low over-the-shoulder shot from behind PLAYER B: he steps in and twist-flicks a backhand over the table — fast and early. Teal. 17.0–17.6s S21 — The camera tight behind the ball, riding it over the net toward PLAYER A, whose figure at the far end grows larger and larger, paddle coming forward to meet it. 17.6–18.2s S22 — Side close-up of PLAYER A's torso on a forehand, the orange shoulder panels stretching, the ball leaving the paddle. Orange. 18.2–18.8s S23 — Overhead from the lamp position: the rally accelerates — two fast round trips in frame, orange and teal streaks crossing the blue rectangle. 18.8–19.6s S24 — Low-angle lateral tracking shot of PLAYER B behind the right end, sliding to the left, the gold chain swinging out from his chest, a backhand driven down the line. 19.6–20.4s S25 — Through the silhouetted crowd at courtside, focus shifting from blurred black heads in the foreground to PLAYER A at the left end, who backs two big steps away from the table to buy time. 20.4–21.6s S26 — Side-on wide shot, both players pushed back from their ends, PLAYER A on the left, PLAYER B on the right: a long topspin rally — heavy arcs, the ball dropping steeply onto the table each time, orange, teal, orange. The camera pans along the length of the table in sync with the ball. 21.6–22.4s S27 — From behind PLAYER A: he suddenly changes the rhythm — a soft short push that barely clears the net and stops dead near the net on PLAYER B's side. 22.4–23.2s S28 — The camera retreating fast in front of PLAYER B as he rushes the table at his end, reaching his paddle over his own half to flick the short ball back. Speed lines streak behind him. 23.2–24.0s S29 — Net-height side-on two-shot, PLAYER A on the left, PLAYER B on the right, both close to their own ends, the net cleanly between them: flick — block — flick, three contacts in under a second, every contact clearly visible. 24.0–25.0s S30 — Close-up of PLAYER A's eyes narrowing. He sees the opening. The paddle shoulder sinks back. 25.0–26.0s S31 — Low wide shot beside the table on PLAYER A's side: he drives an all-out forehand into the wide-open corner. The arm stretches along the swing path, dry-brush smear, snapping back to solid. The orange streak screams past. 26.0–27.0s S32 — From behind PLAYER B at the right end: the orange streak bounces on his side and flies away from him — he launches sideways in a dive, body fully extended, paddle reaching to the limit of his arm… 27.0–28.5s S33 — Slow motion, an extremely low side-on angle at tabletop height: PLAYER B's paddle just reaches the ball. Contact. The ball is scooped up toward the net, trailing teal, turning slowly, while PLAYER A far at the left end is already adjusting his footing. 28.5–30.0s S34 — The ball hangs at the top of its arc, right above the net. The picture freezes completely on a single painting: PLAYER A loading up on the left, PLAYER B recovering his stance on the right, the ball between them, the crowd frozen mid-rise. Freeze. Cut to black. ================================================== TABLE TENNIS PHYSICS — CRITICAL ================================================== Real top-level table tennis. At any moment only one ball is in play on the court. (After the first ball rolls away, the spare ball used for the second point's serve is taken from PLAYER A's pocket.) Serve: tossed straight up from a flat open palm, bouncing once on the server's side of the table first, then once on the receiver's side. Rally: every return crosses the net and is struck only after bouncing exactly once on the opponent's side of the table. Alternating strikes only: PLAYER A → PLAYER B → PLAYER A → PLAYER B. The ball never changes direction without a paddle touching it. The same player never hits twice in a row. Realistic ball paths: topspin loops arch high first, then drop steeply onto the table; counters on the rise are flat and fast; short pushes stay low and barely clear the net; weak returns float high — which is exactly why the smash happens; a ball that is missed bounces off the table and then bounces on the floor. Realistic movement: side-shuffle steps, retreating 1 to 3 meters behind the end line for loops, stepping in close to the table for short balls, lunges and stretches, a recovery step after every stroke. No impossible acrobatics. The paddle stays in the player's right hand at all times. ================================================== CHARACTER CONTINUITY — HIGHEST PRIORITY ================================================== PLAYER A = input image 1 only, always at the left end. PLAYER B = input image 2 only, always at the right end. PLAYER A always keeps: buzz cut, green eyes, square jaw, muscular build, gray tank top with orange-red shoulder and side panels, navy shorts with red-and-white stripes, no jewelry. PLAYER B always keeps: curly golden-brown hair, hoop earrings in both ears, navy open-collar shirt over a white undershirt, gold chain with a red pendant, white shorts, blue wristband on the right wrist, red wristband on the left wrist, silver ring. The two players are never on the same side of the net. Bodies never overlap. Never reach across the net. No duplicated players. No swapped identities. No change of clothing. No missing or extra accessories. The paddle never disappears. No extra limbs. No malformed hands or fingers. The spectators are always faceless silhouettes in the stands, never close to the table. ================================================== CINEMATOGRAPHY ================================================== 34 distinct camera setups — fast and varied, no two adjacent shots repeating the same composition: hip-height tracking shot, net-post camera, low angle behind the player, ground level under the table for footwork, directly overhead at the lamp position, tilted-composition close-up, side-on wide shot at tabletop height, upward angle from table height, painted freeze frame, a shot that follows the ball in flight, a stands-height shot through the silhouettes, a focus shift through the crowd, a pan along the table, a tracking shot retreating fast in front of a character, a net-height two-shot, an extreme low-angle slow motion. Shot lengths vary: 0.5 to 0.8 seconds in the rally, 1.2 to 1.6 seconds in the reset. Hard cuts land on the instants of contact and bounce, never in between. Whip pans only on changes of ball direction. Energy rhythm: 0–7s Point one at full speed. 7–9s Smash build-up, freeze, smash, missed. 9–11s The crowd erupts. 11–15s Reset — slow, quiet, breathing. 15–25s Point two, faster than point one. 25–28s Heavy forehand and the diving save. 28–30s The ball hangs in the air — this point is still not over. Cut to black. Every shot obeys the locked spatial layout: A on the left, B on the right, the net in the middle. ================================================== SOUND ================================================== Open with a full-volume crowd roar mid-rally; no lead-in. The crisp "tok-tak" of paddle and table is the rhythmic core; a driving percussion track locks onto the rally tempo and keeps accelerating. A shoe-sole squeak on every shuffle step; a short exhale on hard swings. On the smash freeze: every sound cuts out, then one hard, compressed "pop" of the strike. The missed ball: two dry little bounces on the floor, then the crowd explodes. Reset section: the crowd fades to a murmur, PLAYER A's breathing, two slow "tok" of the ball on the table, the hum of the lamps. Point two: the music slams back, faster than before. The diving save: in slow motion the sound sinks into a muffled low hum, and one soft "tok" of contact. Final freeze: all sound cuts out on the frozen frame. Silence over black. No commentary. No dialogue. No vocal music. ================================================== CONSTRAINTS — REITERATED ================================================== 16:9 full frame, no letterboxing, no black bars. PLAYER A always on the left, PLAYER B always on the right, the net between them, never on the same side, never overlapping, never reaching across the net. Only two players, never swapped, never duplicated. Only one ball in play on the court, a small 40 mm ball, never deformed; the paddle is rigid, never glowing, bending or cracking. Strictly alternating strikes, one bounce per side, realistic spin and ball paths. The players always keep the reference images' blocky painted style — never live-action or photographic. Effects limited to the thin ball-trail light, speed lines, brief arm smears and freeze frames — no lightning, no explosions. Spectators only as faceless, rim-lit silhouettes in the stands. No 3D. No photorealism. No smooth cel shading. No outlines on characters. No reflections. No hazy bloom. No scoreboard. No legible text. No logos. No subtitles. No watermarks. No injuries, no blood, no physical contact between the players. The match is in progress. A point has been lost. The next one is still hanging in the air.
✍️ Editor’s Notes

This prompt works like a rulebook for image-to-video. It opens by binding two images to PLAYER A and PLAYER B with @image1/@image2 and insists on a full frame with no black bars. After that it goes block by block: style, table spatial layout, equipment, characters, scene, then a 34-setup timeline, and finally physics, continuity, cinematography, sound and a restated list of constraints. The key block is "table spatial layout — locked, highest priority": A is always left, B always right, the net always in between, and even where the opponent stands in shots from behind is spelled out, which targets the classic problem of players swapping sides. For motion, phrases like "roughly twelve drawings per second", "stretch for one frame then snap back" and "freeze, then lurch back" turn a hand-drawn feel into rules the model can execute. Repeating the prohibitions at the end is the usual way to stop a long prompt from drifting.
