# Epic Historical Mystery Cinema

## When to use
- The user wants a cinematic historical or mystery story video built from a one-line idea, a complete script, or reference images.
- The user wants to revise an epic historical/mystery video: change the script, swap a character, redo one scene's video, adjust music/voiceover, or continue to the next episode.

## Output specs (fixed)
- Scenes: 8–12 per video
- Scene duration: 5–8 seconds each
- Visuals: highly realistic, cinematic, dramatic lighting, historical accuracy (architecture, costumes, props, locations)
- Characters: strong visual continuity across every scene (identity, clothing, age, appearance)
- Music: suspenseful orchestral background
- Voiceover: emotional narration per scene
- Subtitles: SRT file alongside the final video
- Transitions: smooth and cinematic — continuous music, matched motion/grading, stitched with mix_clips
- Storytelling: strong emotional arc and mystery hooks; professional pacing

## Workflow

### 1. Analyze the input
- Ask what the user has (or infer): a one-line idea, a complete script, or reference images (character/location/prop refs).
- One-line idea → expand into a logline, premise, and emotional arc.
- Complete script → use it directly, condensing to 8–12 scenes.
- Reference images → use them as the anchors for characters, locations, and props.
- For historical stories, optionally use `search_web` to verify facts, dates, and period details.

### 2. Story structure & emotional arc (document)
- `create_document` (name: "<title>_story_structure", entity_type: "scripts"):
  - Logline, genre, time period, setting
  - Characters: name, appearance, role, emotional goal
  - Mystery hook / central question
  - Emotional arc beats (setup → rising tension → revelation → climax → resolution)
  - Planned scene count (8–12)

### 3. Scene breakdown (document)
- Expand into a scene-by-scene breakdown: `update_document` on the structure doc, or `create_document` (name: "<title>_scene_breakdown", entity_type: "scripts").
- Per scene: number, location, characters present, action, camera direction, emotional beat, narration text (1–2 short sentences, fits 5–8s), subtitle text, duration (5–8s), transition into next scene.

### 4. Character & location references
- One character reference per main character: `generate_image` (model: "t2i", orientation: "landscape", resolution: "1080P", name: "character_<name>", entity_type: "characters"). Prompt for realistic cinematic style, dramatic lighting, period-appropriate costume, fixed age/appearance.
- One location reference per key location: `generate_image` (model: "t2i", orientation: "landscape", resolution: "1080P", name: "location_<slug>", entity_type: "locations").
- Optional prop references for story-critical objects (e.g. a cursed letter, a relic): name: "prop_<slug>", entity_type: "props".

### 5. Scene visuals
- For each scene, `generate_image` with model: "i2i.hd" and input_urls = [character refs present, location ref, optional prop] (name: "scene_<n>_<slug>", entity_type: "storyboard_images", orientation: "landscape", resolution: "1080P").
- Prompt: exact action, camera angle, dramatic lighting matched to the emotional tone; keep character identity, clothing, and setting consistent; realistic cinematic film-still look.
- QA: optionally use `recognize_image` on a scene image to confirm characters match their references before animating.

### 6. Scene videos
- For each scene, `generate_video` with model: "ref2v" and input_urls = [scene image] + [character refs present], orientation: "landscape", resolution: "720P" (auto-downgraded if the channel caps lower), duration: 5–8, name: "scene_<n>_<slug>", entity_type: "storyboard_videos".
- Prompt: subtle cinematic motion — slow push-in, dolly, pan, gentle character movement; smooth motion that continues into the next scene; keep lighting and composition stable.

### 7. Voiceover narration
- Per scene, `generate_tts` (model: "tts.design", mode: "design", text = the
