The prompt

Animate this old photo with subtle, respectful, realistic motion. Keep every face and identity exactly the same.

Motion: the people gently blink, breathe, and give a soft natural smile; [EXTRA MOTION, e.g. a light breeze moves the edge of the saree]. The camera slowly pushes in.

Keep the original photo's colours, grain, and era — no modern look. No talking and no big movements. 5 seconds.
Customise in the builder

Pro tip: Restore the photo first with the restoration prompt — a cleaner input gives smoother motion.
