Shadows of the Cloaked Traveler: A Luminous Encounter

{
  "shot": "Luminous Ring — Slow Push-In",
  "subject": {
    "identity": "solitary cloaked traveler facing away, gender-ambiguous",
    "physique_face": "slender build; hair in a small blonde bun, rim-lit; face not shown",
    "wardrobe": "heavy midnight-blue velvet cloak with long train, subtly wet at hem",
    "consistency_rules": "keep center-frame silhouette; no face reveal; cloak floor-length; hair bun with halo rimlight"
  },
  "scene": {
    "location": "shallow forest glade pool flanked by gnarled trees and boulders",
    "lighting": "night; single celestial ring casting a vertical shaft of cold light (godray, light bloom)",
    "time_weather": "still night air, faint ground mist over water"
  },
  "visual_details": [
    "0–2s: Establish wide. Ring glows above; beam hits water behind the traveler; mist glistens; tiny motes drift.",
    "2–5s: Slow, steady dolly push-in toward the traveler; cloak hem makes gentle concentric ripples.",
    "5–8s: Beam widens slightly; micro-sparks around ring; mossy water fluoresces; traveler breathes once, barely lifting shoulders."
  ],
  "cinematography": {
    "shot_size": "wide to medium-wide",
    "lens_feel": "35mm spherical, T2.0 look, shallow DOF edges, mild bloom",
    "camera_motion": "single motion: forward dolly push-in, 2 meters total, constant speed",
    "camera_position": "starts 6m behind the traveler at waterline height; moves straight forward along centerline — that’s where the camera is"
  },
  "audio": {
    "dialogue": "None",
    "ambience": "soft nocturnal forest hush, distant owl, faint wind in trees, gentle water lapping; subtle airy ring-hum that increases 1–2dB by the end",
    "mix_notes": "no music; wide stereo for ambience, mono-center low hum; keep -14 LUFS overall"
  },
  "color_palette": "midnight blue, deep navy shadows, cold cyan beam, silvery white halo, muted moss greens",
  "physics_rules": "cloak reads as heavy velvet (~2 kg) with damp weight at the hem; ripples propagate realistically; volumetric light interacts with fine mist; no particle collisions through geometry",
  "visual_rules": "no subtitles/text overlays/watermarks; no extra characters; ring remains a perfect circle; realistic godrays and bloom; fantasy-realism not sci-fi tech",
  "limits": "single continuous shot; 8s; 24fps; 16:9; 1080p"
