# A quiet evening of self-care

> A woman receives a shoulder massage, stretches at home, rests beside a steamy bath, and settles into bed. Soft neutral interiors and close portraits connect the scenes, with a water-droplet detail between bathroom and bedroom.

## 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.

## Prompt

```text
CAMERA:
DV 16mm tape camcorder handheld feel. POV of CHASE holding the camera herself throughout each location, occasionally propped briefly for hands-free moments. Hand shake, misaligned framing, delayed focus pulls, clumsy zooms, occasional face cut-off framing, imperfect shots. Camcorder never appears on screen.
LOOK:
Soft, slightly blurry tape quality, faint tape noise, bloomed highlights, flickering auto-exposure, muted contrast, realistic skin tones — lighting shifts per location (clinical soft light at physio → warm home light for stretching → soft steamy bathroom light → dim cozy bedroom light).
STYLE:
Slow, gentle montage feel — calmer and more tender than her usual bubbly vlogs. Quiet reflective voiceover narration plays over the visuals instead of synced dialogue. Mood stays soft and caring throughout, centered on rest and self-care.
Character
CHASE — Korean idol, 20s. Long straight black hair, natural and softly tied back, dewy glass skin, minimal to no makeup, tired but peaceful expression. Wearing a modest robe or oversized loungewear throughout — fully covering arms, torso, and legs at all times, including during the bath/shower segment (framed only from shoulders up or via steam/robe coverage, nothing revealing shown).
Setting Progression
Physio/massage clinic (afternoon) → her room, stretching mat (early evening) → bathroom, steamy warm light (night) → bedroom (late night).
Storyboard (20s, 6 cuts)
(~3.5s, physio clinic, propped camera, medium shot) She lies on a treatment table as a therapist's hands (off-camera) work on her shoulder, wincing slightly then relaxing. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "Some days, taking care of myself has to come first."
(~3s, physio clinic, close handheld) She sits up slowly afterward, rolling her shoulder, small relieved exhale. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "That already feels so much better."
(~3.5s, home, stretching mat, medium propped shot) She stretches gently on a mat in her room, slow and unhurried, soft evening light. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "A little more stretching never hurts."
(~3s, bathroom, steamy soft light, framed modestly — shoulders up only, robe visible) She sits wrapped in a robe near a warm bath or shower, steam softly filling the frame, eyes closed peacefully. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "And then... just letting the day melt away."
(~3s, bathroom, macro insert) Close-up on water droplets and steam, soft warm light, no exposed skin beyond hands/face. No narration — ambient water sound only.
(~4s, bedroom, dim cozy light, closing shot) She climbs into bed early, pulling the blanket up, eyes already heavy, a small content smile before the screen fades. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "Some nights, the earlier the better."
