## 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
Reference layer: Based on image, the rider's face, hair, build, and clothing stay identical in every frame. Same person, same outfit, no identity or appearance drift.

Storyboard:

0-4s: Low angle on a cliff ledge. The rider vaults onto the dragon's neck and grips the saddle ridge. The dragon's wings snap open, blasting dust and loose stones off the rock as the wind builds.

4-10s: The dragon launches off the cliff with one heavy downward wingbeat, creating a stomach-drop fall before its wings catch air and it climbs hard. The rider flattens low against the neck, hair and clothing ripped back by the wind. The camera falls with them, then rises alongside.

10-16s: They punch up through the cloud layer, vapor tearing around the wings in streaks, then break into open golden light above the clouds. The rider slowly sits upright, squinting into the sun, briefly lifting one hand from the ridge. The camera drifts into a wide side profile, with the dragon's wings spanning the frame.

16-23s: The dragon folds one wing and dives into a steep banking turn along a cliff face. Stone blurs past as the rider leans into the turn, straps straining against the force. At the bottom of the dive, the dragon levels out low over the ocean, its wingtips skimming spray from the water. The camera chases from behind and above.

23-30s: The dragon climbs toward the low sun, wings beating slowly and heavily. The rider looks back over their shoulder once, then turns forward. They crest the highest peak into full golden light, the dragon silhouetted against the sun. Hold on the wide cinematic frame until 30 seconds.

- Type: Cinematic, realistic-looking fantasy digital artwork.
- Framing: The rider and dragon are set against open skies, rugged cliffs, distant mountains, and ocean; the rider is small in relation to the dragon.
