Broken Wooden Chair to Velvet Statement Seat: Restoration AI Video Prompt

Create a satisfying, photorealistic restoration time-lapse, 30 seconds, vertical 9:16, of an old broken wooden dining chair being restored into a luxurious emerald-velvet statement chair. It should look like a top restoration channel's footage: real workshop, real tools, careful hands, smooth time-lapse steps and a dramatic final reveal.

THE CHAIR (before): a 1960s wooden dining chair with curved legs, flaking white paint, deep scratches, a cracked back rail, a torn faded floral seat cushion and one wobbly leg.
THE CHAIR (after): rich walnut-stained wood with a satin finish, a repaired back rail, and a plump seat upholstered in emerald-green velvet with neat brass nail-head trim.
HANDS: an adult's hands with a black apron sleeve, wearing safety glasses and gloves when sanding and staining. Same apron throughout.

SETTING: one bright, tidy workshop: a wooden workbench, a pegboard of hand tools, clamps, a small sander, cans of wood stain, rolls of fabric, sawdust on the floor and soft daylight from a large window.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: locked-off three-quarter view of the bench for the time-lapse sections, macro close-ups for detail, 35mm and 100mm lenses, soft natural window light, warm wood tones, crisp detail, smooth time-lapse speed ramps.

[00:00-00:04] THE JUNK CHAIR — Slow push-in on the broken chair on the bench: flaking paint, the cracked rail, the torn cushion. A hand wobbles the loose leg.
[00:04-00:08] STRIPPING — Time-lapse: the cushion is removed; paint stripper is brushed on; a scraper lifts long curls of old white paint, revealing bare wood.
[00:08-00:12] REPAIRING — Glue is applied to the cracked back rail; clamps tighten; the loose leg is re-glued and clamped square. Macro shot of a glue bead squeezing out.
[00:12-00:16] SANDING — Time-lapse of sanding: dust flies, the wood turns smooth and pale; a hand brushes away the dust.
[00:16-00:20] STAINING — A cloth wipes rich walnut stain into the grain in slow, satisfying strokes; the wood glows warm and deep.
[00:20-00:25] UPHOLSTERY — New foam is placed on the seat board; emerald velvet is stretched tight and stapled underneath; brass nail heads are tapped in one by one around the edge.
[00:25-00:30] THE REVEAL — The finished chair is placed in a sunlit corner with a plant and a lamp; slow orbiting shot; the velvet shimmers in the light. Quick split-screen flash of before vs after.

SOUND: workshop ambience, scraper scratches, clamp clicks, sander hum, cloth swishes, staple-gun pops, tiny hammer taps, an upbeat acoustic track building to the reveal.
RULES: realistic tools and safe technique (gloves and glasses for chemicals and sanding), no faces, no text, no logos or brand labels on the cans.
