## 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 miniature theatrical world with visibly weathered surfaces, oversized character features, and contrasting fabric and wood textures. Use frontal room compositions with a single warm practical light, then introduce an unexpected viewpoint framed by a physical foreground, as the teeth frame the dentist here. For a new subject, replace the character, occupational props, and airborne object while retaining the tactile material system and muted blue-to-pink palette contrast.

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.

Stylized 3D animated scenes featuring an older bespectacled man in a blue wooden room, alongside close-up dental imagery and a lush, oversized garden setting.

- Color: Deep teal and blue, muted browns and greens, with warm amber lighting and occasional pink flowers.
- Type: Sparse cream serif credits appear on a black closing card. The broader inspected film uses irregular cream block lettering for its title.
- Framing: A mix of centered wide shots, intimate character close-ups, and detail inserts; the dental view is framed from inside a mouth, while the garden scene uses a centered figure amid dense foliage.
- Structure: The solitary character in a narrow blue room, a centered seated view, a dentist seen from inside a mouth, heavy curtains, an oversized garden, a worn shoe, a close portrait, a mirror view, and a black credit card.
