Grok Imagine E.T. Homage Video Workflow

A two-step prompt workflow for Grok Imagine to recreate the iconic flying bicycle scene from the movie E.T. Step 1 generates the cinematic still, and Step 2 animates it.

Prompt

Use the attached photo only as a face/identity reference. Generate a brand-new cinematic still. The person is already riding a bicycle through the night sky. Classic E.T. scene: the bike is flying in silhouette in front of a huge full moon. Warm 1980s Spielberg look, 16:9, anamorphic, film grain, nostalgic cinematic lighting. The person is on the bicycle. E.T. is in the front basket. Night sky, giant moon behind them, quiet suburban houses far below. Already in the air. Not on the ground. Not a normal photo. Do not reproduce the original photo composition. Do not keep the original background. Do not make a photo-to-scene transition image. First and only frame = finished movie still. Keep the same face. No text, no watermark. Animate this image. This image is already the first frame. Do not fade from any other photo. The bicycle slowly flies across the giant moon. Pedals move gently. Coat and hair drift in the night wind. E.T. stays in the basket. The person stays the same person, same face. Stars twinkle. The moon stays huge behind them. Slow, magical, floating motion. No sudden drops. Camera: slow sideways tracking, slight low angle, anamorphic widescreen. Style: 1982 Spielberg cinematic, warm nostalgic night, film grain. No cut, no dissolve from a different image, no original-photo flash.
