Celestial Majesty: A Baroque Craft Over Frost-Bitten Valleys

{
  "shot": {
    "type": "single_continuous_establishing",
    "camera_position": "low ridge above a frost-blue valley city, facing a colossal baroque-disc craft hovering just above the skyline",
    "camera_motion_primary": "very slow push-in with a gentle 6° upward tilt over time",
    "motion_path": "start 120m from the craft's rim at 12m elevation; end 70m from rim at 20m elevation (subtle arc toward centerline)",
    "stabilization": "gimbal-stable; micro-shake < 2%",
    "depth_of_field": "deep focus from foreground rocks to mountains"

  "subject": {
    "foreground": "dark, snow-dusted rocks and a broken parapet silhouette at frame bottom",
    "midground": "ornate valley city of domes and spires connected by arched bridges; river gorge with low-lying mist",
    "principal": "enormous hovering saucer-megastructure with gothic/temple filigree, luminous window band around rim, cathedral-like underside converging into a central finial",
    "background": "serrated mountain range in blue hour; star-dotted sky with faint dawn glow at horizon"
  },
  "scene": {
    "time_of_day": "blue hour pre-dawn",
    "weather": "dry cold, high pressure",
    "atmosphere": "layered ground mist hugging streets and river; strong aerial perspective",

    {
      "time": "2.5-5.5s",
      "beat": "The hovering disc dominates frame. Read the gilt filigree along the rim, thousands of tiny windows shimmering. Parallax slides the nearest spires across the craft's underside geometry."
    },
    {
      "time": "5.5-8.0s",
      "beat": "Approach beneath the rim; the cathedral-like underside reveals layered vaults converging to a central finial, suspended meters above a plaza. Rim lights flicker subtly; ground mist curls upward. Hold on the awe."
