Prompt Cards

As a facilitator, create a 6-week book club plan around one title. Include weekly agenda, icebreakers, spoiler walls, character arcs to track, quotes to unpack, and a final meeting activity such as a mock jacket redesign or alternate ending workshop.

Take a novel you love and craft a studio-ready adaptation pitch. Provide a logline, theme, target audience, tonal comps, 10-episode or 2-hour structure beats, casting ideas, and what to cut or combine while honoring the core of the book.

Pick a noir classic and reverse-engineer its lighting. Identify key scenes, draw a simple lighting plan with sources and angles in words, note lens choices and contrast ratios if known, and suggest a low-budget way to recreate the look at home.

Design a thematic watchlist that traces the evolution of Japanese horror from folklore to digital-era hauntings. Include 8 films, signature motifs, cultural context, spoiler-light talking points, and a post-watch reflection prompt.

Curate a mini-course on slow cinema. Pick 5 films from different countries, summarize each film's premise, describe formal traits like long takes and ambient sound, and propose a viewing ritual and discussion questions to help first-time viewers engage without boredom.

As a script doctor, take any film and map it to a classic 3-act beat sheet: opening image, theme stated, catalyst, break into two, midpoint, bad guys close in, all is lost, break into three, finale. Add approximate timestamps, the emotional turn, B-story notes, and a 200-word critique on pacing.

Create a 10-second art piece in a dark room where narrow laser beams and fog carve volumetric ‘solid’ shapes. Camera: slow orbit; clean geometric slices; minimal soundtrack implied.

Render a 9-second stabilized chase cam of a MTB rider descending a forest singletrack; dirt roost, root chatter. 60fps; dynamic exposure under canopy; full pads and helmet visible.

An 8-second evening scene of hundreds of warm lanterns drifting down a calm river; reflections ripple. Camera: gentle crane down to reveal crowd on banks, faces soft-blurred for privacy.

Create a 10-second surreal but real shot of post-rain salt flats acting as perfect mirror for passing clouds. Camera: ultra-wide slow dolly; horizon disappears. Minimalist, meditative.

Render a 9-second nature sequence of red-crowned cranes taking off from frosty riverbanks at dawn. Camera: telephoto pan; wingbeats in slow-mo for a few frames, mist curling around legs.

A 10-second high-speed capture of black sumi-ink splashing into a white basin, forming momentary crown shapes that resemble sculpture. Camera: 240fps macro; stark black & white; clean studio.
