## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this video

This is a visual reference. No original creator prompt is available. The following brief was written by Reference after inspecting the work.

Keep one recognizable subject across contrasting environments, using scale, contact shadows, and local color to make each placement feel grounded. Alternate wide contextual views with subject-height close-ups, then reinterpret the same motif through an aged illustrated artifact and a structured scientific spread. For a new subject, replace the animal, activity props, and printed diagrams while preserving the recurring silhouette and finish with a restrained white end card.

1. Open the live work or source and inspect the frame images below.
2. Adapt its layout, hierarchy, palette, and interaction patterns to the user's own content and brand.
3. Compare the result against the reference. Use your own assets and credit the original creator.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A chameleon appears in richly detailed photographic-looking scenes, alongside expressive signs, embroidered lettering and printed ephemera.

- Color: Varied, saturated colors: teal and green character tones, warm yellow, hot pink, deep navy, and bright accents.
- Type: Bold uppercase signs, embroidered script, glowing neon handwriting and small calendar or program text are integrated into the pictured objects.
- Framing: Wide scenes are inset against generous white margins, with centered subjects and close details that make each environment recognizable.
- Structure: An embroidered kitchen towel, patterned bathroom, yellow taxi, blue street sign, neon club sign, toy car, theater program, gym scene and decorated calendar.
