IDENTITY LOCK: Use the uploaded photo as the sole identity reference. Preserve the subject's facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, hairstyle, and every distinguishing feature exactly — the person must remain instantly recognizable. No beautification, no face reshaping, no expression change unless stated. SCENE: The subject rendered as a paused frame on a 1980s CRT television — visible curved screen edge, scanlines, and a 'CH 3' indicator in the corner, as if they appeared on a vintage broadcast. LIGHT: Flat TV-studio lighting at 4300K within the broadcast image; the CRT itself glows in a dark room with faint reflection of the room on the glass. CAMERA: Photograph OF the TV screen — moiré hints, phosphor RGB texture visible up close, slight barrel distortion. RULES: The face stays clearly recognizable through the scanlines.
