Animated Character Performance Shot

Create one continuous {{visual_style}} character-performance shot.

Character, scene, and action

Reference and continuity contract: {{continuity_anchors}}

Motion direction
- Make the objective readable in the starting pose. Let intention travel through eyeline → breath/expression → torso → arms/hands → prop.
- Build anticipation, primary action, reaction, recovery, and a clear end pose in one continuous temporal progression. Every action needs weight transfer, plausible joint range, contact, and reaction force.
- Hair, cloth, accessories, dust, rain, or leaves should lag behind the primary action and settle with natural damping.
- If an input image defines appearance and composition, do not redescribe it into a new design; focus the text on what moves and how.
- Camera motion must support the acting beat without random shake, impossible intersections, unrequested cuts, or sudden lens changes.
- When audio is supported, synchronize footsteps, cloth, prop contact, and ambience; use dialogue only when explicitly supplied.

Continuity constraints: preserve one character's face, body, costume, held prop, lighting, and background geometry. No extra people or limbs, duplicate props, identity drift, sliding feet, teleporting, or random cuts. Set duration in the generation UI, not in the prompt.

Shared execution rules
- Treat selectors as production constraints that change format, intensity, camera language, and validation—not as decorative labels.
- Do not invent missing facts, cultural details, or rights status. When current facts matter and search is available, prioritize official documents, original sources, and academic or institutional evidence; state the as-of date and cite sources.
- Separate fact, interpretation, and creative invention. Do not copy protected characters, scenes, dialogue, or a distinctive living-artist/studio style; translate intent into observable visual and narrative attributes.
- Work through analysis → draft → continuity check → minimal revision. Do not change every variable at once.
- Validate the result against the request and repair omissions, conflicts, duplicates, impossible motion, and unsupported claims before returning only the finished artifact.
