Gothic Vampire: cape sweep reveal

Video prompt, 8s. Starts on the original photo, ends on the Gothic Vampire portrait
Start on the original photo. The person glances at the camera and raises an eyebrow as the lights in the room flicker and dim.

The person tilts their head and smiles softly, then immediately lifts both hands and draws a long sheer veil down over their face, the pale lace sweeping across the whole frame. Behind the lace, the torn, yellowed antique wedding clothes appear, dried roses appear, the skin pales to grey-white, and the room turns into an abandoned candlelit chapel. The veil drifts away, the ghost lifts their eyes to the camera with a faint, sad smile while dust floats through a moonbeam and the candles flicker, then settles into the final pose.

The werewolf lifts their chin and pulls back their lips into a low snarl as clouds race past the moon and mist curls through the trees, then settles into the final pose.

The witch raises the lantern toward the camera, the flame flares bright, fog drifts between the pines and they give a knowing smile, then settle into the final pose.
