AESTHETIC: Cinematic sports reel, 20 seconds, 16:9. Natural light, highlight halation. Handheld micro-tremor, never gimbal. Fast cuts every 0.8-1.5s. Motion blur 24fps, 35mm grain. Fixed midday light all 20 seconds: overhead sun, hard short shadows.

Dark brown hair in high ponytail with loose strands, white Nike visor, navy Nike racerback tank with white swoosh, navy pleated tennis skirt with white swoosh, white wristband, fine gold chain with small cross, holding tennis racket. USE REFERENCE IMAGE FOR FACE AND EXACT WARDROBE. Same outfit every single shot. Do not change colors, logos, hair, or jewelry.

LOCATION: Outdoor tennis court. Blue cobalt inside, green outside, white lines. Black fence, empty bleachers. Midday sun.
