A woman in her early 40s with silver-streaked hair, wearing a long charcoal coat, stands at the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean at dusk. The wind moves her coat. Camera slowly pushes in from medium shot to close-up on her face. She closes her eyes, breathes deeply, then opens them — a slight smile crossing her lips.

Audio: Wind, crashing waves below, no music. The sound builds slightly as the camera closes in, then softens as she smiles.

16:9, 12 seconds. Golden-hour light fading to deep blue at horizon. Cinematic film grain.

A premium mechanical watch, matte black dial with rose gold indices, rests on a dark slate surface. Camera starts wide, then cranes down to an overhead close-up on the face. The second hand sweeps smoothly. A beam of afternoon light crosses the dial during the final three seconds.

Audio: Soft ambient room tone, the faint tick of the movement. No music.

16:9, 10 seconds. Dramatic single-source side lighting from camera left. Shallow depth of field.

A surfer drops into a massive overhead wave on an overcast morning. Wide tracking shot from the beach as he carves along the face. Scene cuts to a tight tracking shot from the water — spray explodes from the rail. Final shot: wide aerial pull-back as the wave closes out and the surfer kicks off the back.

Audio: Ocean roar, the hiss of the board on water, wind. Distant seagulls. No music.

16:9, 15 seconds. Moody grey skies, deep blue-green water.

Refer to the shooting script in @Image1 (storyboard with shot scale, camera movement, visuals, copy). Character from @Image2. Scene from @Image3. Props from @Image4. Create a 15-second healing short film.

@Image1 is the main character — a woman in her late 20s, use her exact face and expression style. @Image2 is her outfit — replicate the jacket and bag details precisely. @Image3 is the setting — a narrow Kyoto alley at twilight.

The character walks slowly down the alley toward camera (wide establishing shot). Scene cuts to medium shot as she pauses and looks at a lit paper lantern above her. Close-up on her face as warm lantern light catches her eyes.

Audio: Soft footsteps on stone, distant temple bells, gentle ambient street noise. No music.

16:9, 15 seconds. Warm orange lantern light against deep blue twilight. Shallow depth of field on the close-up.

@Image1 contains a 4-panel storyboard:
Panel 1: Wide shot — empty diner exterior, rainy night, neon sign reflected in wet pavement
Panel 2: Medium shot — man enters through glass door, shaking rain off coat
Panel 3: Close-up — his hand wraps around a coffee mug on the counter
Panel 4: Wide shot — he sits alone by the window, looking out at the rain

Character from @Image2. Diner environment aesthetic from @Image3.

Produce this as a continuous 15-second sequence. Let the transitions feel cinematic — slow and weighted. 

Audio: Rain on glass, door chime as he enters, coffee cup set on counter, ambient diner sounds. A gentle, melancholy jazz piano begins softly at the final wide shot.

16:9. Cool desaturated tones with warm neon color from the sign.

@Video1 is a reference clip showing a slow 360-degree orbit around a subject at medium height — use this exact camera movement and speed.

@Image1 is the subject: a hand-thrown ceramic vase, ash glaze, about 30cm tall, sitting on a wooden plinth.

@Image2 is the environment: a calm Japanese pottery studio with diffused natural light from shoji screens.

Apply the orbit movement from @Video1 to this scene. The camera orbits smoothly around the vase, completing about 270 degrees in 10 seconds.

Audio: Near silence — the faint creak of the wooden floor, distant birdsong outside. No music.

16:9, 10 seconds. Soft, even white light from shoji screens. No harsh shadows.

@Audio1 is a 12-second electronic music track — driving, rhythmic, BPM approximately 128. Use this as the audio track for the video. Let the visual energy and edit rhythm match the track's intensity.

@Image1 is the visual style reference: kinetic urban photography, motion blur, neon-lit streets at night.

Generate a montage sequence: a skateboarder in a lit parking garage, fast grinding shots, trick landings, sparks from grinds. The cuts should land on the beat of @Audio1.

16:9, 12 seconds. High contrast, pushed greens and magentas. Motion blur on fast sections.

@Image1 is the product: a premium olive oil in a dark glass bottle with a hand-lettered label. This is the hero of the video — it must be clearly visible and beautifully rendered throughout.

@Image2 is the brand style: artisan Italian, warm terracotta and cream tones, rustic stone surfaces, Mediterranean light.

@Audio1 is the background track: a gentle acoustic guitar piece with a warm, unhurried feel. Use it as the audio foundation.

Shot sequence:
— Wide shot: The bottle sits on a worn stone kitchen counter beside fresh herbs and tomatoes. Soft morning light from a nearby window.
— Slow dolly-in to medium close-up on the label.
— Overhead shot: A hand tips the bottle, pouring a thin golden stream of oil into a white ceramic bowl. The oil catches the light.
— Final wide shot: The bottle, bowl, and ingredients arranged as a still life. The camera locks off.

Audio: @Audio1 throughout. Add natural sounds — the faint pour of oil, a gentle clink as the bottle is set down. No voiceover.

16:9, 15 seconds. Warm morning light, soft shadows, slightly matte color treatment.

Subject → Action → Camera → Style

A samurai faces his opponent. Camera slowly pushes in. Scene cuts to a fast-panning profile shot. They charge and clash in ultra-slow motion — swords meet, sparks fly, bamboo leaves scatter. Normal speed resumes as they land back-to-back.

The woman turns to camera and says with quiet confidence, "Everything changes today."

Two old men argue loudly across a chess table. First man: "You always play the same way, you predictable fool." Second man, leaning back and laughing: "And you always fall for it."

A child whispers to the camera, eyes wide: "I think there's something in the basement." Beat of silence. Then a creak from below.

The chef narrates in a warm, unhurried voice: "The secret is patience. Always patience." As she speaks, her hands work the dough.

A street performer sings the opening bars of a folk song — a capella, clear and true, the melody floating above the ambient market noise.

SFX: The scratch of frosted glass, soft rustling of plush fabric, gentle tapping on acrylic.

Audio: Heavy boots on wet cobblestones — each step a crisp splash. Raincoat fabric against itself as the figure walks. Distant thunder, fading.

SFX: A match struck, the hiss of ignition, the soft pop of a gas burner catching. Then the steady blue hiss of the flame.

Audio: Leather gloves pulled on — the tight snap of the cuff. Metal zippers. The click of a briefcase clasp. These sounds in sequence, intimate and deliberate.

SFX: A vinyl record dropping onto the turntable — the faint crackle of static, then the warm hiss before the music begins.

Close-up of hands slowly unwrapping a luxury chocolate bar. Gold foil crinkles and peels back to reveal dark chocolate with a perfect snap. The chocolate is placed on a ceramic plate with a soft tap.

Audio: ASMR style — crisp foil crinkling, satisfying chocolate snap, gentle ceramic tap. No music, no voice. Room ambient only.

9:16, 10 seconds. Warm, soft overhead lighting. Shallow depth of field.

Close-up of hands peeling the protective film off a new phone screen. The film comes away slowly, smoothly, catching the light.

Audio: ASMR — the slow, clean peel of the protective film, a gentle crinkle, the satisfying reveal of the pristine screen beneath. Room ambient: nearly silent.

9:16, 12 seconds. Bright, clean white-box lighting.

A person slowly stirs a mug of hot tea. The spoon circles in the liquid, tapping softly against the ceramic sides.

Audio: ASMR — the gentle clink of spoon on ceramic, the soft sound of liquid moving, a quiet breath. Steam ambient. No music.

1:1, 8 seconds. Soft morning window light.

Hands fold a crisp white linen napkin with deliberate, precise movements — each fold clean and sharp.

Audio: ASMR — the crisp rustle of starched linen, each fold landing with a soft pressing sound. Near silence otherwise.

9:16, 10 seconds. Flat, even studio light. White surface.

Audio: The ring of steel on steel as swords clash, the grunt of physical exertion, bamboo splintering, the whoosh of a missed strike, then sudden silence as one fighter wins. No music.

Audio: Racing engine at high rev, tire squeal on tarmac, wind buffeting the car at speed, the crack of gravel against the wheel well on a corner. No music — pure mechanical SFX.

Audio: The thwack of a basketball on hardwood, the swish of net, crowd reaction building from murmur to roar. Sneakers squeaking. An echoing sports hall.

Audio: Cinematic orchestral swell building through the sequence. Deep bass, warm strings.

Audio: A Tokyo street at rush hour — layered train announcements, bicycle bells, heeled shoes on tile, the hiss of bus doors. Dense and alive but not chaotic.

Audio: Deep forest ambience — wind in pine canopy, a distant stream, occasional bird call. No human sounds. A sense of remoteness.

Audio: Hospital corridor — fluorescent hum, soft footsteps, a distant PA announcement, the rubber squeak of shoe soles on linoleum. Institutional quiet.

Audio: Open ocean from a small boat — rhythmic water slap against the hull, rope creaking, wind, and nothing else. Vast.

Audio: A melancholy solo piano — sparse, minor key, unhurried. Each note allowed to decay fully before the next. The music begins on the first shot and fades at the end.

Audio: Driving electronic music, 130BPM, with a hard drop at the 8-second mark. Visual cut rhythm should align with the beat. High energy throughout.

Audio: Traditional Korean gayageum — a single instrument, contemplative and formal. The music carries the emotional weight of the scene without dialogue.

Extend the video. The man on horseback gallops toward a blossoming tree, reaches up to break a branch of cherry blossoms. Other riders appear from behind the hill, dismount in a circle, and present flowers.

Edit the clip: Replace the character's red jacket with a dark navy coat. Keep everything else — the setting, camera movement, and timing — exactly the same.

Edit the clip: Change the final shot from day lighting to a dramatic sunset. Warm the color grade across the whole clip slightly to match.

Two martial artists face off in a bamboo forest. Camera slowly pushes in on their eyes. Lens switch to a wide tracking shot as they charge at each other. The clash happens in ultra-slow motion — swords meet, sparks fly, bamboo leaves scatter. Normal speed resumes as they land back-to-back. The straw-caped fighter's hat splits open.

Audio: Tense silence, then the ring of steel on steel. Bamboo creaking. A single shakuhachi flute note holds over the slow-motion moment.

16:9, 15 seconds.

A figure in dark clothes sprints across a flat rooftop at night, city lights sprawling below. Wide tracking shot from a parallel rooftop. Scene cuts to a low tracking shot at leg level — boots hitting concrete, coat flying. She reaches the edge and leaps without hesitation. Slow-motion as she drops, arms out. Cut to: she lands in a roll on the next rooftop, comes up running.

Audio: Heavy footfalls on gravel roofing, wind at height, the massive whoosh of the leap, the crack of the landing roll, footsteps again. No music.

16:9, 15 seconds. Blue-grey city-lit night. High contrast.

A boxer trains alone in a dim gym at 5am. Wide shot of the empty gym as he skips rope (establishing). Scene cuts to medium tracking shot as he moves to the heavy bag — combinations, fast, rhythmic. Tight close-ups intercut: gloves connecting, sweat, determination in the eyes. Final shot: he stops, leans on the bag breathing hard, then looks up with quiet resolve.

Audio: Rope cutting air, feet on the mat, the heavy bag receiving each combination, exertion breathing. The gym's HVAC hum underneath. No music — the silence makes it harder.

16:9, 15 seconds. Tungsten bulb practicals hanging from ceiling. Deep shadows, warm highlights.

@Image1 is the product (a premium wireless speaker in matte white). @Image2 is the brand style guide (minimalist, warm tones, Scandinavian aesthetic). @Audio1 is a 10-second deep bass music track.

Camera starts with a wide shot of a sunlit Scandinavian living room. Dolly-in toward the speaker on a wooden shelf. The music from @Audio1 begins playing as the camera approaches. Medium close-up reveals the speaker's texture and form. Final shot: overhead angle, the speaker centered on the shelf with plants on either side.

16:9, 12 seconds. Warm afternoon light.

A dark glass perfume bottle with a gold stopper stands on a black marble surface. A single droplet of water falls from above and bursts in slow motion against the marble beside the bottle.

Camera: Overhead wide establishing shot → slow dolly down to eye-level medium close-up as the droplet falls → extreme slow-motion of the burst → final locked-off medium shot of the bottle, perfectly still.

Audio: The musical tone of glass, the soft impact of the droplet, a quiet resonant hum that fades to silence. No music.

16:9, 12 seconds. Dramatic side lighting from camera right — deep shadows, the bottle partially lit. Black and gold throughout.

@Image1 is the product: a kraft paper bag of single-origin coffee with a hand-stamped label. @Image2 is brand aesthetic: warm, artisanal, independent coffee shop morning light.

Shot sequence:
— Wide shot of a wooden counter, morning light streaming through a window. The bag sits beside a ceramic grinder and a pour-over setup.
— Slow dolly-in to the bag, label filling frame.
— Cut to medium close-up: hands open the bag, and a breath of steam and aroma seems to rise (suggest this in the visual warmth).
— Wide shot: the full pour-over ritual begins, water falling in a perfect thin stream.

Audio: Morning ambient — birds outside, the quiet of early hours, the gentle gurgle of water through the grounds. No music. Almost meditative.

16:9, 15 seconds. Warm golden morning light. Muted, natural color palette.

Extreme close-up of hands slowly unwrapping a luxury chocolate bar. Gold foil crinkles and peels back to reveal dark chocolate with a perfect snap. The chocolate is placed on a ceramic plate with a soft tap.

Audio: ASMR style — crisp foil crinkling, satisfying chocolate snap, gentle ceramic tap. No music, no voice. Room ambient only.

9:16, 10 seconds. Warm, soft overhead lighting. Shallow depth of field.

Close-up sequence in an old bookshop. Hands slowly pull a large hardcover book from a packed shelf — the resistance, then release as it comes free. Pages turn slowly, one by one. The spine is opened and pressed flat with a soft creak.

Audio: ASMR — the soft shush of the book sliding out, the papery rustle of pages turning, the leather creak of the spine, ambient old-book-smell silence (suggested through the visual warmth). No music.

9:16, 12 seconds. Warm lamplight, deep shadows between shelves.

Extreme close-up of raindrops running down a glass window, backlit by city lights at night. A hand reaches up and traces one raindrop's path with a fingertip.

Audio: ASMR — rain pattering on glass, the soft squeak of fingertip on wet glass, ambient rain on the roof above. No music.

9:16, 15 seconds. City lights blurred through the rain — bokeh reds and yellows. Intimate and still.

A woman in her 60s sits at a kitchen table in afternoon light. She holds an envelope, unopened, in both hands. Camera holds on her in a medium shot — we can see she's been sitting here a while. She finally opens it, slowly, with a letter opener. Pulls the paper out and begins to read. Her expression shifts almost imperceptibly — relief? Grief? Both.

Audio: Clock ticking, paper unfolding, her quiet breathing. Traffic faint outside. No music.

16:9, 15 seconds. Dusty afternoon light through a curtained window. Warm, slightly overexposed. Film grain.

A teenage boy in a new school uniform sits alone in a cafeteria, tray untouched, watching other students with that particular combination of longing and armor. Wide shot initially — the cafeteria large around him. Slow push-in to medium shot. He takes a breath. Picks up his fork. Starts eating, not looking up.

Audio: Cafeteria din — voices, trays, the PA system. But in a slight way the sound is softened around him, the loneliness creating its own quiet. No music.

16:9, 12 seconds. Fluorescent cafeteria lighting, which is harsh and unkind and correct.

A man steps off a train onto a small-town platform. He's in his 40s, carrying too much — bags, a coat over one arm. The platform is empty except for one person waiting at the far end. He spots them. They spot him. A long beat of stillness — distance between them. Then he starts walking, slowly at first, then not slowly at all.

Audio: Train doors closing behind him, hiss of brakes, the crunch of gravel underfoot. Wind. No music until the last two seconds — a single held string note.

16:9, 15 seconds. Overcast autumn light. Leaves on the platform.

A figure skating pair performing a dramatic lift sequence on an empty rink. The woman is thrown into a triple spin while the man holds a steady base. Camera tracks their movement from ice level. They land in perfect synchronization. The audience erupts.

Audio: Blades scraping ice, wind from the spin, crowd gasping then cheering. Orchestral crescendo on the landing.

16:9, 15 seconds. Cool blue-white rink lighting with warm spotlights.

A marathon runner enters the final straightaway. She's exhausted but accelerating — a closing sprint on depleted legs. Tracking shot from alongside at road level. The finish line banner visible ahead. She breaks the tape. Immediately crumbles to her knees.

Camera: Side tracking shot → wide shot as she crosses → tight close-up on her face immediately after.

Audio: Her labored breathing, crowd cheering, the crack of the timing tape, then the noise of the crowd washing over everything.

16:9, 15 seconds. Bright midday sun. Sweat-soaked kit. Raw and real.

A climber on a sheer granite face with no rope, hundreds of meters above the valley floor. She reaches for a hold, tests it, moves. The camera is on the wall beside her, tracking her movement — a technically impossible shot that AI makes possible.

Scene cuts to a wide shot from a drone perspective: she is a small figure on an immense wall of stone.

Audio: Wind at altitude, the dry scrape of chalk on rock, her controlled exhale. Silence otherwise. The silence is the point.

16:9, 15 seconds. Harsh alpine sun, deep shadows in the cracks. No music.

A red fox kit, around 6 weeks old with a fluffy winter coat, cautiously steps across a frozen pond. Low angle tracking shot, just above ice level, following alongside. Each step is tentative — the ice creaks.

Scene cuts to close-up on its face: ears forward, eyes fixed on something out of frame. Then it pounces — straight down through the snow. Comes up with a vole.

Audio: Ice creaking under each step, the silent pause before the pounce, then the muffled crunch of impact and the trill of the successful hunt. Wind in sparse trees nearby.

16:9, 15 seconds. Overcast grey-white winter light. Muted blues and the orange of the fox fur.

Time-lapse of a thunderstorm forming over open plains. Clouds build from nothing — white cumulus climbing, darkening, anvilling out at altitude. Beneath them, the light turns green-grey and wrong. A single bolt drops from the base of the storm.

Audio: Wind building from still to rushing over the time-lapse, the distant bass roll of thunder, a close lightning crack that makes the viewer flinch.

16:9, 15 seconds. The color of the sky is the main visual element — let it be strange and beautiful.

Extreme close-up exploration of a tidal pool. A small crab moves between anemones. A sea slug, improbably beautiful, moves across a rock. The camera drifts slowly, discovering each creature — a nature documentary aesthetic at macro scale.

Audio: Gentle water movement in the pool, the sound of the larger ocean beyond, the occasional plop of a small wave refilling the pool. No music. Natural Documentary.

16:9, 15 seconds. Bright tide-pool light — clear water catching sun, dappled on the bottom.

A golden retriever in a park is presented with a stick that is approximately 12 feet long. The owner holds one end. The dog looks at the stick. Looks at the owner. Back at the stick. Attempts to pick it up, miscalculates badly, bonks a nearby pigeon. Sits and looks off-camera with the expression of someone who has made mistakes and is comfortable with that.

Audio: Park ambience, the thwack of the dog attempting to grab the stick, the startled pigeon, a brief dog-shaking-head sound. The owner, heard but not seen, suppressing laughter. No music.

16:9, 12 seconds. Bright park day. Slightly comedic handheld energy.

A man in pajamas confronts his espresso machine at 6am. He attempts every button combination. The machine makes increasingly aggressive sounds. Steam goes somewhere unexpected. He holds a completely empty cup. Stares at it. Stares at the machine. The machine emits one final triumphant hiss.

Audio: The buttons clicking, the machine's mechanical protests, unexpected steam venting, the anticlimactic silence of the empty cup. No music — just the sounds of defeat.

16:9, 10 seconds. Harsh morning kitchen light — fluorescent, merciless.

A tabby cat discovers a full-length mirror. Its initial encounter involves: staring, slow approach, full puff, sideways intimidation walk, sniffing the glass, and ultimately concluding the other cat is boring. The cat walks away mid-confrontation.

Audio: Near silence with soft paw pads on the floor, the subtle sounds of a deeply confused animal, and eventually footsteps retreating with dignity intact.

1:1, 12 seconds. Natural apartment light. Slightly elevated camera looking down on the unfolding situation.

@Image1 = Main character (a 10-year-old girl with braided pigtails and a yellow raincoat).
@Image2 = Forest setting reference.

The girl discovers a hidden path through the foggy forest. She pushes aside ferns (medium tracking shot). Lens switch to close-up of her face — eyes widen with wonder. Lens switch to her POV — a glowing treehouse is visible through the mist. She runs toward it (wide shot from behind, camera following).

Audio: Soft footsteps on wet leaves, bird calls, a magical shimmer sound when the treehouse appears. Whimsical orchestral undertone.

16:9, 15 seconds. Overcast diffused light, misty atmosphere.

@Image1 = Character reference: a man in his 50s, grey stubble, worn brown coat, tired eyes that see too much.

He stands in the rain outside a closed bar, collar up, studying the door. (Wide shot, locked-off.) Scene cuts to his POV: a light on in the upstairs window, a shadow moving behind the glass. Scene cuts back to his face in close-up — no readable expression, but he's already decided something. He pushes the door open and goes in.

Audio: Rain on awning, wet footsteps, the squeak of the door. Inside: a distant jukebox, low voices. No score.

16:9, 15 seconds. Night. Cold blue rain light. Warm bar light spilling under the door.

@Image1 = Elderly grandmother character reference — white hair, warm dark eyes, floral apron.
@Image2 = Child character reference — 8-year-old boy, freckles, striped shirt.

The grandmother teaches the boy to roll dumplings at the kitchen table. He tries to fold one and it falls apart. She gently redoes it, his hands over hers. He tries again. This time it holds. He holds it up triumphantly. She claps.

Audio: Kitchen sounds — the gentle slap of dough, voices in warm murmur (no specific dialogue), her soft laugh when his first one fails, his genuine delight when the second one works.

16:9, 15 seconds. Warm kitchen light, afternoon. Flour on every surface.

Refer to the shooting script in @Image1 (hand-drawn storyboard with 4 panels showing: 1. Wide establishing shot of café exterior, 2. Medium shot of woman entering, 3. Close-up of her ordering at counter, 4. Wide shot of her sitting by the window with coffee).

Character face and appearance from @Image2. Café environment style from @Image3.

Create a 15-second sequence following the storyboard. Warm, golden afternoon light throughout. Gentle background café ambience with soft acoustic guitar.

A tall stone lighthouse, 19th-century construction, white with a red stripe, stands on a rocky headland. The lamp room rotates slowly, its beam sweeping through low-lying sea fog. Wide locked-off shot from the waterline below, looking up. The camera holds completely still — the only movement is the rotating beam.

Audio: A low foghorn in the distance, waves on rocks below, wind. The beam passes twice in the duration of the shot. Near silence otherwise.

16:9, 12 seconds. Deep blue-black night, warm amber light within the lamp room, cold fog cutting the beam into a visible shaft.

A man in his early 30s sits at a kitchen table with a laptop open. His morning coffee steams beside him. He's been waiting. He reads something on screen. His expression moves — disbelief, then the realization it's real, then a laugh that starts as a breath through his nose and builds to something full.

Camera: Medium shot, locked-off at table height. The camera doesn't move. His face is the only thing that changes.

Audio: Morning kitchen quiet — refrigerator hum, distant birds, morning street sounds. His quiet. Then the laugh. No music.

16:9, 12 seconds. Real morning kitchen light — slightly overexposed by the window, warm and honest.

@Image1 is the product: a high-performance trail running shoe in electric blue and white. Show it faithfully throughout.
@Image2 is the visual style: high-contrast, gritty athletic photography. Real conditions, real effort — not a studio.

Shot sequence:
— Close-up of the shoe alone on wet gravel at early morning. A single raindrop falls on the upper. Locked-off. (4 seconds)
— Wide tracking shot at ankle-height: the shoe in motion, pushing off mud on a forest trail. We see only from the ankle down — the ground rushing past. (4 seconds)
— Wide shot: a runner reaches the crest of a hill at dawn. The city is visible in the valley below, the sky just beginning to lighten. She stops. Looks out. (7 seconds)

Audio: No dialogue. No music. Rain on the first shot. Mud and exertion sounds on the trail shot. Then wind, her breathing, and silence at the top.

16:9, 15 seconds total.
