<Prompt>

Create a hyper realistic cinematic YouTube thumbnail style scene where the person from the reference image is breaking out of a smartphone screen into the real world

Place the person inside the phone screen showing a YouTube inspired mobile interface that is original and not an exact replica

Pose the person mid breakthrough with the body angled toward the camera one hand reaching aggressively toward the viewer with strong foreshortening and intense 3D depth

Use a confident or shocked expression while keeping the facial identity fully consistent with the reference image

The breakout pose must feel explosive high energy and viewer facing with strong foreground presence

Design a clean YouTube inspired interface on the phone screen with a channel avatar thumbnail and the username Carlos AI clearly visible

Include a video or post title text area on screen with readable bold sans serif typography

Include like comment and subscribe style interaction buttons in a clean row

Include views and subscriber count in small readable text

Ensure the interface reads clearly even at thumbnail scale while remaining an original design

Create a screen breaking effect with jagged cracked fractures radiating from the breakout zone

Add glass shards flying outward with motion blur and realistic refraction along edges

Add a digital pixel burst and glowing energy lines spilling from the screen boundary

Add a dramatic dust and debris cloud around the impact point to amplify action

Use high contrast dramatic cinematic lighting with a strong key light from one side creating bold highlights and rich shadows

Keep the background slightly desaturated and blurred while the subject and shattered glass remain in deep sharp focus

Maintain strong depth layering with the hand and glass shards closest to the camera creating maximum pop out effect

Compose in 16 by 9 landscape format optimized for a YouTube thumbnail

Place the subject on the left or center of the frame leaving clear negative space on the right for potential title text overlay

Ensure no important elements are cropped at any edge and the phone interface remains fully visible

Add artistic signature text of ©️ “CARLOS G” subtly integrated into the top left corner
