### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is a complete, filled-out prompt using the dynamic template above.

—

**1. Core Scene Concept & Shot Type:**
* **Logline:** A tense and fast-paced animated battle scene.
* **Core Action:** A cybernetically enhanced knight duels with a massive crystal golem in a collapsing ancient library.
* **Key Moment:** The shot should capture the moment the knight parries a crushing blow from the golem, causing a shockwave that sends books and debris flying.
* **Shot Type:** Dynamic tracking shot that arcs around the characters.

**2. Key Subjects & Characters:**
* **Protagonist (Character A):** A stoic female warrior named Kaelen.
* **Appearance:** Late 20s, sharp jawline, short-cropped silver hair, a cybernetic glowing blue right eye, and a long scar over her left brow. Lean, athletic build.
* **Attire/Armor:** Wears sleek, form-fitting obsidian-colored nanotech armor that has cracks and glowing blue circuitry showing through. A tattered grey cloak is draped over her shoulders. The armor is battle-damaged, scuffed and dented.
* **Weaponry/Abilities:** Wielding a “Phase Blade,” a meter-long energy sword that hums and glows with unstable, crackling blue energy.
* **Expression & Stance:** A determined grimace, teeth gritted in exertion. Poised in a low, balanced fencing stance, holding her sword in a two-handed grip.

* **Antagonist (Character B / Enemy):** A massive Crystal Golem.
* **Appearance:** 12-foot-tall humanoid construct made of jagged, semi-translucent quartz crystals. A pulsing, bright magenta crystal serves as its core, visible in its chest. It has no face, only a glowing core light.
* **Weaponry/Abilities:** Attacks with its oversized, club-like crystalline fists. It can cause the ground beneath it to erupt with sharp crystal spikes.
* **Behavior:** Moves with heavy, deliberate, and overwhelmingly powerful force.

**3. Environment & Setting:**
* **Location:** The battle takes place in the “Grand Archive,” a collapsing, circular library with towering, decaying wooden bookshelves reaching into a domed, shadowy ceiling.
* **Time of Day & Weather:** Night. The only light comes from a fractured hole in the ceiling, letting in pale moonlight, and the glow of the characters.
* **Key Environmental Features:** Massive oak tables are overturned, scrolls and books are scattered everywhere, and large stone support pillars are cracked and crumbling.
* **Interactivity:** The environment is highly destructible; the golem’s attacks shatter the stone floor and send bookshelves toppling down in a cascade of paper and wood.

**4. Core Action & Choreography (Sequence of Events):**
* **Opening:** The shot begins with the Crystal Golem swinging its massive fist downwards at Kaelen.
* **Mid-Action:** Kaelen, instead of dodging, slides forward and angles her Phase Blade upwards to meet the blow in a powerful parry.
* **Climax/Impact:** The moment her blue energy blade connects with the crystalline fist, a violent shockwave of blue and magenta light erupts from the point of impact. The shockwave blasts outwards, sending hundreds of books flying off the shelves and kicking up a massive cloud of dust and paper.

**5. Cinematography & Camera Work:**
* **Camera Movement:** The camera starts low and behind Kaelen, then rapidly arcs around to her side as she parries, capturing the impact in a dramatic sweep that emphasizes the scale of the shockwave.
* **Angle & Perspective:** Starts with a low-angle hero shot of Kaelen, transitioning to a side-on eye-level view at the moment of impact.
* **Lens & Focus:** Wide-angle lens to capture the golem’s scale and the environmental destruction. A momentary rack focus to the crackling energy on Kaelen’s sword just before impact.

**6. Lighting & Color Palette:**
* **Primary Light Source:** The magenta glow from the golem’s core and the electric blue of Kaelen’s sword and eye. Faint, cold moonlight provides ambient fill.
* **Lighting Style:** Extreme high-contrast chiaroscuro. The bright glows cast long, dancing shadows across the library. Dramatic rim lighting highlights the characters’ silhouettes.
* **Color Palette:** Dominated by deep blacks and browns of the library, contrasted sharply by electric blue, pulsating magenta, and pale silver/white.

**7. Animation Style & Aesthetics:**
* **Overall Style:** Modern, high-detail 2D anime style, similar to the work of Studio MAPPA or Ufotable. Fluid, high-frame-rate animation.
* **Artistic Details:** Featuring bold ink outlines, incredibly detailed textural work on the armor and crystals, and dynamic speed lines during the parry.

**8. Visual Effects (VFX) & Details:**
* **Impact Effects:** A bright, anamorphic lens flare erupts from the clash. Volumetric particle effects show shattering crystal fragments and paper debris. Visible screen shake conveys the force of the blow.
* **Character Effects:** Kaelen’s sword leaves a trailing ribbon of blue light. The golem’s crystal body refracts the light around it in a distorted, menacing way.
* **Atmospheric Effects:** Swirling dust motes are illuminated by the clashing lights. Individual pages of books flutter through the air in slow motion after the shockwave.

**9. Negative Prompts (Optional but Recommended):**
* **Avoid:** static camera, blurry motion, cartoonish proportions, weightless impact, characters clipping through the floor.
