description

Use this skill when planning cinematic interior designer websites, video-led portfolios, AI-generated room films, scroll-driven showroom pages, or full spatial web experiences where brand diagnosis must become scene sequence, image/video prompts, portfolio proof, and website choreography. Activated by "cinematic showroom", "video-to-website", "AI room video", "cinematic portfolio", "scroll-driven interior website", "Awwwards interior site", or when `spatial-experience-design` needs prompts and section choreography. Do NOT use for generic video backgrounds, product launch pages, backend work, or decorative motion without brand/spatial proof.

Cinematic Showroom Strategy

WHEN TO USE THIS

• Load only after a territory is selected and evidence supports a genuinely media-heavy, video-led, generated-media, or tightly choreographed showroom experience.
• Load when multiple scenes, room films, media states, text-safe zones, prompt inheritance, and portfolio proof must operate as one system.
• Load when portfolio, proof, AI video, scroll choreography, and text overlays must work as one experience.

NEVER DO

• Never write standalone "luxury room" prompts detached from brand diagnosis and context files.
• Never treat video as wallpaper behind normal sections.
• Never make every project use the same Awwwards mechanic.
• Never let spectacle replace proof, inquiry clarity, or designer authority.
• Never approve prompts that lack belief, taste world, light, camera, depth, text-safe zone, and rejected cliche.
• Never turn portfolio work into generic cards before showing judgment, transformation, or material decisions.
• Never activate this specialist merely because the brand is an interior studio or the user wants a premium result.
• Never make a cinematic showroom the default answer when still imagery, editorial pacing, or ordinary document flow serves the brief better.

CORE MODEL

Translate strategy into cinema:

Evidence dossier -> Creative brief -> Selected concept -> Experience blueprint -> Media choreography -> Asset directive -> Cinematic prompt pack when needed -> Risk prototype -> Build

Every scene must answer:

1. What should the visitor believe here?
2. Which brand context proves that belief?
3. What room, threshold, object, material, light, or human trace carries the scene?
4. What should be withheld, revealed, or transformed?
5. Where can text live without damaging the room?
6. What web behavior turns the media into a section?

BRAND-TO-SCENE TRANSLATION

Add a brand-to-scene translation section to experience-blueprint.md or an approved equivalent. Legacy projects may keep brand-to-scene-translation.md.

Include:

• Perception gap.
• Desired visitor belief.
• Taste world.
• Enemy/cliche to reject.
• Spatial metaphor.
• First scene.
• Whole-site scene sequence.
• Prompt implications.
• Portfolio/proof implications.
• Inquiry implication.

Reject translations that only describe style. The translation must explain why this brand needs these scenes.

SHOWROOM CHOREOGRAPHY

Add showroom choreography to production-plan.md or an approved equivalent. Legacy projects may keep showroom-choreography.md.

For each section define:

Section:
Journey stage:
Belief/proof job:
Primary room/object/material:
Media type: still | loop | source-image-to-video | frame sequence | WebGL | SVG mask | CSS-native
Scroll behavior:
Text zone:
Reveal rhythm:
Motion track:
Portfolio/proof role:
Fallback:
Asset prompt required: yes | no

Use video only when it performs a spatial job: threshold, reveal, light movement, transformation, object guidance, material behavior, proof, or inquiry slowing.

CINEMATIC PROMPT PACK

Create cinematic-prompt-pack.md only when approved generated media is required and the upstream contracts exist.

The prompt pack is not a prompt dump. It is the final cinematic translation of the approved brand, story, spatial, material, motion, and choreography contexts.

Start with Context Inheritance; use the project's actual approved files, for example:

Derived from:
- evidence-dossier.md
- creative-brief.md
- concept-directions.md selection record
- experience-blueprint.md
- production-plan.md
- portfolio-proof-chapters.md when present

Every image/video prompt must include Strategic Source:

Perception goal:
Taste world:
Section / journey stage:
Desired visitor belief:
Visual thesis connection:
Room / material / object source:
Motion role:
Website placement:
Text-safe requirement:
Enemy / cliche rejected:

If a prompt cannot trace its choices back to approved context files, reject and rewrite it.

PORTFOLIO PROOF

Create portfolio-proof-chapters.md only when detailed project decision narratives are required beyond the experience blueprint.

For each project chapter define:

• Client/context.
• Room or space.
• Original problem or weak state.
• Design decision.
• Material/light move.
• Before/after or transformation proof.
• Cinematic media.
• Caption/proof text.
• Interaction.
• Inquiry relevance.

Use broad grids only after at least one curated project chapter has proven the designer's judgment.

OUTPUT SHAPE

Showroom strategy: Brand belief -> scene sequence -> choreography map -> prompt pack requirements -> portfolio proof -> gates.

Prompt audit: Context inheritance -> missing strategic source -> weak prompt risks -> rewrite direction.

Implementation handoff: Showroom choreography -> media/asset types -> section text zones -> scroll behavior -> fallback gates.

NON-NEGOTIABLE CHECKLIST

1. Desired visitor belief is named before visuals.
2. The selected concept and brand-to-scene logic exist before prompts.
3. The production plan maps media, text, scroll, proof, and fallback.
4. cinematic-prompt-pack.md, when required, has Context Inheritance.
5. Every prompt has a Strategic Source block.
6. No generic luxury-room prompt survives.
7. Portfolio proves decisions before becoming a grid.
8. Video is section-specific proof, atmosphere, transformation, or inquiry, not wallpaper.
9. This specialist is inactive when the approved concept is still-led or does not need media choreography.
