Charm, wit and feeling beat cleverness. No mood pieces, no empty landscapes, no slideshow of pretty stills.9- Every shot has visible action: the protagonist does something, something changes, the camera moves with intent. A shot where nothing happens is cut.10- The film ends on a payoff: a reversal, a laugh, a small ache, or an image that re-colours the first one.11- Films are narrated by a warm voice-over. Characters may react, gesture and emote, but they do not deliver spoken lines (no lip-sync).12- Bright, readable, cinematic images: rich colour, clear subject, expressive light. Never murky, never underexposed.13- Never depict a real, identifiable person, a brand, a logo, a copyrighted character, or readable on-screen text.14- Generative video is good at: one or two expressive characters, animals and creatures, weather, light, steam, water, fabric, slow and medium camera moves. It is weak at: crowds, fine finger work in close-up, fast fights, readable text, exact counts of small objects. Design around its strengths.15- Fiction is fiction; facts are facts. Never present invented footage as a real event.`;1617const seriesBlock = (slug: string) => {18 const s = SERIES.find((x) => x.slug === slug);19 return s ? `Series: ${s.titleEn} (${s.kind}). ${s.descriptionEn}\nSeries rules: ${s.rules}` : "Series: none (standalone film).";20};21const briefBlock = (b: CreativeBrief) => [22 `Theme: ${b.theme}`, b.objective && `Objective: ${b.objective}`, `Audience: ${b.audience}`, b.mood && `Mood: ${b.mood}`,23 b.genre && `Genre: ${b.genre}`, b.constraints && `Constraints: ${b.constraints}`,24 `Spoken language: ${b.language === "bilingual" ?

Write it the way a photographer briefs a picture, in this order: (a) Subject first: one sentence naming the protagonist, what they are doing, what holds or supports them, and the setting. (b) Details and focal point: materials, counts, expression, and the camera angle. (c) Art direction: the two or three named props and colour fields. (d) Light: source, direction, hardness, and an exposure bright enough to read the subject clearly. (e) Colour: subject colours and background colours as separate fields. (f) Composition: "vertical frame", the crop, what stays sharp. Describe what IS in the picture; do not write lists of things to avoid. One scene, written as prose.68- SHOTS 2 and later are made by EDITING the first image, so the character stays identical. Write each as: "A new scene with the same <protagonist> and <signature accessory>, seen from a different angle: <new framing and place>. <What the protagonist is doing now, and what else is in the frame>. <Light and colour of this scene>. Keep the same <protagonist>, <accessory>, colours and film look." Every later shot must change the framing and the place or the action clearly, so the shots do not look like versions of one picture: alternate wide, medium, close and low or high angles.69- All frames are bright and readable. Night scenes are lit: lanterns, moon, windows, glow.7071\`videoPrompt\` rules — what happens during the 5–8 seconds:72- Start with the action as two or three beats in order ("The fox stirs the pot, steam billows up, then it looks toward the camera with an ear twitch."). Movement must be visible and expressive: gestures, reactions, weather, things entering or leaving the frame.73- Then one motivated camera move (slow push-in, tracking alongside, crane up, orbit, handheld follow, rack focus). Avoid a locked-off static frame unless stillness is the point.74- Then the sound: three or four specific diegetic sounds (bubbling broth, a ladle on copper, wind in pines). End with "No speech."75- Do not ask for on-screen text.7677Use "fade" only for the transition into a shot that jumps in time; otherwise "cut".`,78 user: `${briefBlock(b)}\n\nPitch: ${p.title} — ${p.logline}\nVisual world: ${p.visualWorld}\nRisks to avoid: ${p.artifactRisks}\n\nNarration, one line per shot:\n${s.beats.map((x, i) => `${i + 1}.
