## 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.

Build a cast from a small shared vocabulary of faceted spheres, cylinders, cones, and slender limbs, varying proportions to make each silhouette recognizable. Fuse each character's body with its defining object, as the visible drum bodies and wrapped tubing do here. Use saturated color blocks, a pastel ground, and subtle contact shadows rather than detailed materials. For a new subject, replace the instruments with subject-specific objects while retaining the common geometry and varied ensemble scale.

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 playful, minimalist marching-band world made from brightly colored geometric figures and instruments, with occasional photographic scenery and sketch-like drawings.

- Color: Vivid pink, lime green, blue, yellow, and red, contrasted with pale cream panels and muted photographic browns and grays.
- Type: Flat, simple vector shapes with a few thin, hand-drawn line illustrations; some figures appear against a photographic background.
- Framing: A grid of separate rectangular scenes with narrow light gutters. Panels show individual band-like figures, small groups, and arrangements of illustrated objects.
- Structure: Three rows of varied scenes: cream line-art objects and colored figures above; mixed photographic and flat-color scenes in the middle; and several pink-background groupings of colorful characters below.
