Put yourself from ten years ago and now into a video

Put the cover under the lamp. Each of the five things that made it work is a layer you can switch on: the words, the grid it sits on, the colours it uses, the subject, the light.

Keep all five layers and swap what’s under them: your shop, your budget, your city. You get four covers and the post text.

Referring to the case study "Put yourself from ten years ago and now into a video"—its old photo restoration approach, era texture, visual storytelling and posting tone—generate a new set of retro old-photo image-and-text content. New topic: {fill in the photo topic you want to restore, rebuild or recreate} Reference platform: Xiaohongshu Content direction: retro old-photo image-and-text Creative method: keep the original case's nostalgic emotion, film/photo-paper texture, character relationships, era-specific setting and restoration constraints; if it is photo restoration, it must stay faithful to the original image's identity, facial features, composition and historical context, avoiding excessive beautification, redrawing, false historical information and a modern digital plastic look. Please output: 1. Cover title and subtitle; 2. A 6-9 page image-and-text script, each page containing a visual description, main copy, era/texture keywords and a save prompt; 3. Visual prompts that can be used directly for image generation or photo restoration, specifying requirements for characters, scene, lighting, film grain, damage repair and color restoration; 4. Posting suggestions: title length, tags, image ratio and platform tone. Constraints: do not replicate the original author, original people or brand logos; do not fabricate historical facts; when real people's photos are involved, prioritize identity consistency, and do not make them younger, beautify, slim the face or rewrite facial features.
