Shadow and Glitch Effect Prompt with Color Separation

A structured prompt designed to apply a specific shadow and glitch effect. It requires a reference image for the main subject, which remains clean and centered. Four ghost-like duplicates (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green) are generated behind the subject and are the only elements affected by heavy analog noise, VHS scan lines, and digital glitch artifacts.

Prompt

Ref Image: Based on the provided reference image, keep the main subject in the center sharp, natural-colored, and completely unaffected by filters. 

Shadow Effect: Behind the main subject, generate four ghost-like duplicates of the same subject. Offset two duplicates to the left (colored Red and Blue) and two to the right (colored Yellow and Green). 

Glitch Effect: Apply heavy analog noise, VHS scan lines, and digital glitch artifacts ONLY to these four colored background layers, creating a gritty, unstable look behind the clean high-definition foreground subject.
