"Hyper-realistic 10K, rendered with Unreal Engine 5 quality, cinematic lighting, sharp textures, and a deliberate 'diorama' aesthetic where backgrounds are rich but slightly stylized, evoking 2D depth.",
"setting": {
"location": "A vibrant, lush fantasy world with stacked, parallax-scrolling layers of realistic foreground, midground, and background elements.",
"key_elements": "Foreground: Ancient moss-covered stone blocks, glowing mushrooms, animated pixel-art-inspired foliage (but rendered realistically). Midground: A flowing river, distant waterfalls, a crumbling castle. Background: Stylized mountain range with a vibrant, dual-tone sunset (e.g., purple and orange)."
},
"subject": {
"description": "A classic retro-game hero character, rendered with incredible detail. (e.g., A valiant knight in shining, slightly worn armor, with a large, gleaming sword, or a space marine with chunky, iconic armor and a laser rifle).",
"action": "The hero performs exaggerated, iconic retro game actions: a high, arcing jump over a chasm, a precise double-jump onto a floating platform, or a dramatic, wind-up sword swing/laser blast at an unseen enemy just off-screen."
},
"lighting": {
"type": "Dynamic, vibrant, and highly contrasted fantasy lighting.",
"details": "Strong directional light from the sunset casts long, dramatic shadows. Occasional 'game event' lighting bursts, like a magical glow from a collected item or a flash from an attack, briefly illuminating the scene with saturated color."
},
"camera_movement": {
"style": "**Constant, smooth, horizontal dynamic side-scrolling movement, with subtle vertical shifts.** Mimicking a player-controlled camera, but with cinematic smoothness.",
"sequence": [
"Sec 0-2: Hero Intro & Scroll. Camera starts close behind the hero, tracking perfectly as they run across a detailed foreground. The background elements scroll at a slower, parallax rate, emphasizing depth.",
"Sec 3-5: Dynamic Jump & Vertical Shift. As the hero performs a high, arcing jump over a gap, the camera smoothly and quickly tilts *upwards* to follow the peak of the jump, then quickly tilts *down* as they land, maintaining focus and emphasizing the height of the leap. The horizontal scroll continues.",
"Sec 6-8: Action & Reveal. The camera continues its horizontal scroll, but with a slight, subtle zoom-out, revealing more of the lush environment just as the hero performs their dramatic attack. The camera slightly pulls back and settles on the hero's triumphant pose, showing off the environmental detail around them."
],
"lens": "Wide-angle cinematic lens (e.g., 24mm or 35mm) to capture both foreground detail and expansive backgrounds. Focus racking slightly between hero and key environmental features."
},
"sound_design_note": "Classic retro game 'bleeps' and 'boops' for movement and actions, but hyper-realistic (e.g., a *thump* for landing, a *shiiing* for a sword, a *pew-pew* for a laser, all with modern sound design fidelity). An orchestral, epic fantasy score with retro synth undertones. No dialogue."
