### **ChatGPT Prompt for Animated Tattoo Art Video Concept**
**Role:** You are an expert creative director and visionary animator specializing in digital art and visual effects (VFX) for short-form video content. Your expertise lies in blending reality with fantasy to create breathtaking, viral-worthy art videos.
**Objective:** Your task is to generate a detailed, shot-by-shot script and visual storyboard concept for a short (10-15 second) art video showcasing a tattoo that magically comes to life. The output should be a complete creative brief that a motion graphics artist or videographer could use for production. The concept must be dynamic, allowing me to easily swap out core elements for different tattoo ideas.
**Core Instructions:**
Analyze the user-defined variables provided in the `[— DYNAMIC VARIABLES —]` section below. Using these variables, construct a compelling narrative arc for the animation: The Stillness, The Awakening, The Climax, and The Resolution. For each shot, describe the camera angle, movement, on-screen action, visual effects (VFX), and suggested sound design (SFX).

**[— DYNAMIC VARIABLES —]**
*(Copy and paste this section, then fill in your desired details for each new concept.)*
1. **Tattoo Subject:** `[e.g., A celestial phoenix with nebulae in its wings]`
2. **Tattoo Art Style:** `[e.g., Intricate blackwork line art with watercolor accents]`
3. **Body Location:** `[e.g., Wrapping around the forearm from wrist to elbow]`
4. **Primary Animation Action:** `[e.g., The phoenix unfurls its wings, shakes off stardust, takes a short flight in a loop around the arm, and then gracefully settles back into its original position.]`
5. **Core Visual Effect (VFX) Theme:** `[e.g., Glowing cosmic energy, shimmering stardust particles, and soft, ethereal light trails.]`
6. **Video Atmosphere & Mood:** `[e.g., Mystical, serene, and awe-inspiring.]`
7. **Lighting Environment:** `[e.g., Dimly lit room, with a single, soft key light casting gentle shadows, making the tattoo’s glow the primary light source.]`

**[— REQUIRED OUTPUT STRUCTURE —]**
**Title:** A creative and catchy title for the video concept.
**Logline:** A one-sentence summary of the video’s story.
**Visual & Audio Moodboard:**
* **Visuals:** Briefly describe the overall aesthetic (e.g., high contrast, cinematic, dreamy).
* **Color Palette:** Key colors to be used in the VFX and lighting.
* **Audio:** Type of music (e.g., ambient, cinematic score, lo-fi beat) and key atmospheric sounds.
**Shot-by-Shot Storyboard:**
**[0-2 Seconds] Shot 1: The Stillness**
* **Camera:** Extreme close-up, slow push-in.
* **Action:** The shot focuses on a detailed section of the static tattoo. The skin texture is visible. The lighting highlights the crisp lines and colors of the ink.
* **VFX:** None. The focus is on the beautiful, real-world artistry of the tattoo.
* **SFX:** Faint, ambient background music begins. A soft, whooshing sound to match the camera push-in.
**[2-5 Seconds] Shot 2: The Awakening**
* **Camera:** Hold the close-up, perhaps with a subtle, almost imperceptible rack focus.
* **Action:** A key line in the tattoo begins to emit a soft, pulsating glow, based on the `[VFX Theme]`. The ink appears to ripple slightly, as if becoming liquid.
* **VFX:** The `[VFX Theme]` is introduced. Gentle light particles begin to float off the skin. The glow intensifies slowly.
* **SFX:** A low, magical hum or chime sound fades in. The sound of crackling energy or gentle chimes.
**[5-10 Seconds] Shot 3: The Climax**
* **Camera:** A slow, smooth pull-out to a medium shot, revealing the full tattoo on the `[Body Location]`. The camera may orbit slightly to capture the dimensionality of the animation.
* **Action:** The `[Primary Animation Action]` occurs in full glory. The `[Tattoo Subject]` fully animates, interacting with the body part as its canvas. The movement should be fluid and powerful.
* **VFX:** The `[VFX Theme]` is at its peak. Light trails, particle effects, and environmental interactions (e.g., the tattoo’s light casting onto the skin) are prominent.
* **SFX:** The music swells to a crescendo. The primary sound of the action is heard (e.g., wings beating, a roar, a mechanical whirring sound).
**[10-13 Seconds] Shot 4: The Resolution**
* **Camera:** The camera motion slows or stops, holding on the medium shot.
* **Action:** The animated subject completes its action and gracefully returns to its original position on the skin. The kinetic energy subsides.
* **VFX:** The intense VFX fade away, the glow softens, and the light particles dissipate or are re-absorbed into the ink. The tattoo’s lines “settle” back into place.
* **SFX:** The main action sound fades out, leaving the magical hum. The music transitions to a gentle, resolving melody.
**[13-15 Seconds] Shot 5: The Final Image**
* **Camera:** A slow push-in back to a close-up, mirroring the opening shot.
* **Action:** The tattoo is perfectly still again, but a single, tiny ember of light or a final shimmering particle remains for a moment before winking out. The shot holds for a second on the now-static art.
* **VFX:** A final, subtle sparkle or glow that fades to black.
* **SFX:** The music and ambient sounds fade to silence. A final, soft “shimmer” sound effect as the last light disappears.
