POV Horror Shorts

This skill creates a 10-second vertical (9:16) horror clip in YouTube Shorts/TikTok format from a first-person (POV) perspective. The user specifies a theme (e.g., "abandoned hospital," "dark basement," "forest at night"), and the skill generates an ultra-realistic video where the camera acts as the eyes of a terrified protagonist, featuring continuous movement (footsteps, head bobbing, breathing, camera shake, and a flashlight beam). For the first ~8 seconds, the entity remains unseen; suspense is built solely through sounds, footsteps, whispers, and the sense of emptiness. At the 8-second mark, a fully visible 3D supernatural entity suddenly appears in front of the camera (utilizing user-uploaded monster images), and during the final 1–2 seconds, it lunges directly at the lens, accompanied by a violent camera shake. The skill uses the uploaded entity images as references for the final jump scare and allows the user to regenerate the clip with a new theme or a different entity.

# POV Horror Shorts

## When to use
- The user wants a 10-second ultra-realistic first-person POV horror video built from a topic/idea (e.g. "abandoned hospital", "old house", "forest at night", "basement").
- The user wants to redo/change a single step: new topic, or re-render the video.

## Reference files
- `references/entity-fronts.md`: the 5 randomly-selectable supernatural entity descriptions used for the final jump scare. Read this file before generating.

## Steps
1. Take the horror topic from the user. If none is given, ask for one (a place/setting is enough). Confirm the topic with the user before generating.
2. Check the video channel: call `list_models(model_type='video')` and confirm `t2v` is available before generating.
3. Randomly select ONE of the 5 entity fronts from `references/entity-fronts.md` (pick at random — do not always reuse the same one).
4. Build the full video prompt: the POV scenario template below, with the selected entity description embedded into the 8–10s reveal.
5. Generate the 10-second video with `generate_video`:
   - `model='t2v'`, `orientation='portrait'`, `duration=10`, `resolution='480P'` (t2v caps at 480x864; do not request higher)
   - `prompt` = full POV scenario + selected entity description
   - `name='POV horror short'`, `entity_type='final_videos'`
6. Generate an ambient horror soundscape with `generate_music` (footsteps, whispers, breathing, low drones, creaks) matching the topic:
   - `prompt` = a dark horror ambient soundscape for the topic, with footsteps, whispers, breathing, low drones and creaks
   - `name='POV horror soundscape'`, `entity_type='music'`
7. Overlay the soundscape onto the video with `mix_clips` (one clip: `video` = the generated video, `audio` = the soundscape) to produce the final video with sound.
8. Reply with the final video link in natural language (no large URL blocks).

## POV scenario template (embed into the video prompt)
"Ultra-realistic first-person POV horror footage, 10 seconds, 9:16. The entire video is shot through the frightened protagonist's eyes — the camera moves with real human body motion: natural head bob, realistic footsteps, body sway, breathing movement, slight handheld instability. The protagonist continuously physically moves: walk, slow down, turn, stop, step forward, hear footsteps, turn back, step backward, walk faster, panic, final step, entity appears, creature lunges, violent camera reaction, cut. No third-person camera, no floating/drone/cinematic camera, no protagonist visible.

0–2s: walking forward through [TOPIC ENVIRONMENT]; natural footsteps and breathing; a strange unexplained sound ahead; the protagonist slows but keeps walking, the camera turns slightly toward the sound while the body continues. Nothing visible.
2–4s: a sudden loud knock/scratching/whisper from the side; the protagonist stops, the POV rapidly turns toward it; the environment is empty; hesitates, then takes nervous steps forward with natural head bob. Nothing visible.
4–6s: walking deeper; a second set of footsteps begins behind; the protagonist stops and the footsteps stop; slowly turns around while stepping backward; empty; a faint breathing sound extremely close to the ear; turns forward and walks faster. Nothing visible.
6–8s: walking rapidly, heavier faster footsteps, intense breathing, increasingly unstable camera; looks left then right while moving; something moves extremely fast at the edge of frame; turns toward it; nothing; frightened steps backward, violent camera shake; turns forward and moves again. Still no entity.
8–9s: one slow step forward; silence; a faint whisper directly in front; the camera slowly turns; for an instant the environment is empty, THEN the supernatural entity suddenly appears directly in front of the camera — [SELECTED ENTITY DESCRIPTION]. The entity must be a fully visible, physical, three-dimensional supernatural creature (NOT a shadow, NOT a silhouette, NOT a dark blob), with a clearly readable frightening face
