Here is a practical example of the template filled out to generate a specific, high-quality scene.
***
**[I. CORE DIRECTIVE & AESTHETIC]**
* **Shot Type:** A cinematic, emotionally resonant key scene from a high-budget animated feature film.
* **Art Style:** A modern 3D animated style reminiscent of a blend between Disney’s “Raya and the Last Dragon” and the environmental depth of “Avatar: The Way of Water,” featuring hyper-realistic water and crystal textures but with stylized, expressive characters.
* **Genre & Tone:** Epic High Fantasy, Awe-Inspiring, Moment of Discovery, Magical.
* **Overall Mood:** A profound sense of ancient, untouched magic and personal revelation.
**[II. CHARACTER(S) & PERFORMANCE]**
* **Subject(s):** A teenage human girl named Lyra, with braided dark hair, bright, curious hazel eyes, and a dusting of freckles across her nose.
* **Costume & Gear:** She wears a practical, dark teal tunic made of a tough, woven fabric, worn leather bracers, and a simple pendant around her neck that faintly glows in response to the environment.
* **Key Action & Animation:** Lyra is standing on a smooth stone platform, having just waded through a shallow, crystal-clear underground river. She slowly, reverently reaches out her right hand towards a massive, floating shard of amethyst crystal that hums with gentle power. Her movements are filled with wonder, not fear. As her fingers get closer, the crystal’s light intensifies, reflecting in her wide eyes.
* **Facial Expression & Emotion:** Her expression is one of pure, unadulterated awe. Her mouth is slightly open, and her eyes are wide, reflecting the pulsating purple light of the giant crystal. There is a single, slow-forming tear of joy and relief welling in the corner of her left eye.
**[III. ENVIRONMENT & WORLD-BUILDING]**
* **Location:** A vast, subterranean cavern known as the “Heartcave.” The walls and ceiling are entirely covered in clusters of glowing crystals of varying sizes and shades of purple, blue, and pink. The floor is a shallow, perfectly clear body of water that reflects the glittering ceiling like a starry sky.
* **Atmosphere:** The air is still, silent, and filled with a palpable energy. Shimmering, translucent motes of light drift lazily through the air like magical dust. The atmosphere is serene and sacred.
* **Time of Day & Weather:** Timeless; the only light sources are the millions of bioluminescent crystals, creating a perpetual, magical twilight.
**[IV. CINEMATOGRAPHY & VISUALS]**
* **Camera Shot & Angle:** An initial wide shot showing Lyra as a small figure in the immense cavern, then slowly pushing into a medium close-up from a slightly low angle, focusing on her face and hand as she reaches for the central crystal.
* **Camera Movement:** A very slow, smooth dolly-in, creating a sense of intimacy and escalating significance. The camera subtly orbits around her as it pushes in, revealing more of the cavern’s scale behind her.
* **Lighting:** The scene is exclusively lit by the multi-faceted, internal glow of the crystals. The giant amethyst heart-crystal is the key light, casting soft, purple, caustic light patterns onto Lyra’s face and the water around her feet.
* **Color Palette:** A dominant palette of deep purples, magentas, and indigo blues, contrasted by the warm, human tones of Lyra’s skin and the dark teal of her tunic.
**[V. EFFECTS & MICRO-DETAILS]**
* **Magical/Special Effects:** As Lyra’s hand nears the crystal, faint, hair-like tendrils of purple energy arc from the crystal’s surface to her fingertips. The pendant around her neck pulses with a soft, white light in sync with the heart-crystal’s hum.
* **Environmental Details:** The water around her feet has perfectly rendered, gentle ripples that are created by her presence and the subtle vibration from the crystal. The reflections in the water are crystal clear, mirroring the entire cavern above.
* **Fidelity & Detail Level:** Hyper-realistic, cinematic quality. 8K detail on the crystal facets and water caustics. Focus on subsurface scattering for the crystal’s light and Lyra’s skin.
