Under the Glass — Episode 1, Sequence 1: The Door Opens — AI Cinematic Video
Watch Episode 1 - Sequence 1: The Door Opens — a 10-second handheld documentary shot generated by AI in the Neta Studio world studio. A student-filmed camera enters the Hogwarts Herbology greenhouse through the door, rain drums on the fogged glass, and Juniper Sallow glances up from repotting with a calm, mildly surprised expression — rendered with Kling Image-to-Video from the greenhouse scene reference and a full motion prompt.
Final Video: Episode 1 - Sequence 1: The Door Opens
Episode 1 - Sequence 1: The Door Opens is the first shot of Under the Glass — a cozy found-footage mockumentary set inside a wizarding school, where greenhouse mishaps, staffroom deadpan and small acts of care are filmed by an unseen student whose camera keeps noticing what people would rather leave unsaid.
The sequence: a student-filmed camera enters the Hogwarts Herbology greenhouse through the door, rain drumming softly on the fogged glass above. The camera settles on Juniper Sallow at a potting bench, hands in the soil, mid-repotting — and she glances up, registering the lens with a calm, mildly surprised expression, as though she has only just noticed she is being filmed. Ten seconds, one held breath, the whole series starts here.

The Video
10 seconds · handheld documentary · cozy gothic dark academia — rendered with Kling Image-to-Video from the greenhouse scene reference and a full documentary motion prompt.
How It Was Made
Production Process Breakdown
Juniper Sallow was locked in with a reference portrait — long wavy deep auburn-red hair, pale freckled skin, grey-blue eyes, a quiet tired expression and a dark green button shirt — so the documentary camera would recognize her the moment it walked through the greenhouse door.
A wide greenhouse scene reference fixed the world of the shot: rain drumming on fogged glass overhead, tangled vines, potting benches cluttered with soil and notebooks, warm diffuse daylight — Juniper mid-repotting, glancing up as though she just noticed she was being filmed.
The first image-to-video attempt for Sequence 1 did not complete — the job stalled in “generating” and never delivered a file, so the studio surfaced “Generation did not complete. Please try again.”
The sequence was re-queued with the same reference frame and prompt, and the final 10-second clip rendered cleanly in a single pass: the camera enters through the door, rain drums on the glass, and Juniper looks up with a calm, mildly surprised expression — published instantly to a shareable link that plays in any browser.
Generation Prompt
“Animate the source image as a handheld documentary found-footage shot. A student-filmed camera enters the Hogwarts Herbology greenhouse through the door, rain drumming softly on the fogged glass above. The camera settles on Juniper Sallow at a potting bench, hands in the soil, mid-repotting. She glances up toward the camera, registering it with a calm, mildly surprised expression, as though noticing she is being filmed. Keep the greenhouse setting, her appearance, and the warm diffuse lighting stable. Camera: slight handheld sway, gentle push-in as she looks up. Mood: cozy, quiet, observational. Style: warm handheld documentary cinematography, cozy gothic dark academia, painterly realism. Avoid distortion, extra limbs, identity drift, text artifacts, on-screen text.”
