@avatar is the lone warrior. @avatar defines IDENTITY ONLY - face, hair and skin. Gender, face, hair and skin come entirely from @avatar and never from this text; the clothing, pose, background and lighting of @avatar are ignored completely. Wardrobe (comes from this text, never from @avatar): a heavy dark grey hooded coat with a long torn cloak over one shoulder, dark wrapped forearms and dark boots, all of it scorched and ash-dusted, unisex cut, no logos or lettering. The same in every shot. Stylized cinematic CG dark-fantasy, 30 seconds, one continuous firestorm over a scorched black ash plain with industrial towers and wind turbines far off in the smoke and heat haze. Long lens, handheld weight, low angles and straight overheads, real motion blur, embers and ash crossing the lens. The world and every enemy burn in deep ember orange, and the light from @avatar's blade is the only white-hot light in the film. 0-5 seconds - A horde of burning beast-riders, their bodies cracked black rock with fire running in the seams, charges in from the horizon. @avatar slides low across the ash crust toward them, the long sword held back, its edge cutting a thin white-hot line through the embers. 5-9 seconds - @avatar plants both feet and raises the sword overhead in both hands; the blade ignites into a long horizontal bar of white-hot light. Straight overhead: the bar comes down into the ash and opens a wide crater ringed with burning embers, the horde curving around the rim into concentric rings. 9-15 seconds - @avatar drops into the centre of the crater and a radial shockwave throws the nearest ranks outward, then dashes low across the plain, the sword dragging one continuous white-hot line that blasts a whole row of burning beasts into cinders and smoke. 15-21 seconds - A wave of white-hot energy sweeps an entire flank and bodies lift off the ground into a rising column of fire and ash, and the column takes shape as a long dragon of flame and embers uncoiling up out of the firestorm. 21-27 seconds - A molten colossus heaves up out of the ash behind @avatar, lava glowing in every seam of its cracked black crust, and swings one huge arm across the frame. @avatar slides flat under the arm and drives the glowing blade up under its jaw; the giant goes over and slides across the crust, throwing up a bank of cinders. 27-30 seconds - The fire dragon collapses back into falling embers. Final wide: @avatar walks away, small in the frame, two tracks in the ash, the plain burning dark orange behind. Sound: the low roar of fire throughout, ash crunching under the boots, blade impacts, beast roars, a deep low hit on each energy release, and a restrained low orchestral score. No subtitles.

ASSET REFERENCING

@avatar is the lone warrior and the only referenced asset. @avatar defines IDENTITY ONLY - face, hair and skin. Gender, face, hair and skin come entirely from @avatar and never from this text. The clothing, pose, framing, background and lighting of @avatar are ignored completely.

WARDROBE (comes from THIS TEXT, never from @avatar) - a heavy dark grey layered travelling coat with a deep hood pulled up, a high collar, a long torn cloak over one shoulder, dark wrapped forearms and dark boots, all of it scorched and ash-dusted. Unisex cut, no logos and no lettering, and the garment never implies a gender. The same coat, hood and cloak in every single shot.

ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY

@avatar, one warrior with a long sword, holds a burning ash plain against a charging horde of fire beasts and two giant burning creatures, in a stylized cinematic CG dark-fantasy battle shot on a long lens with handheld weight, low angles and overheads.

DETAILED PLOT

0-3 seconds - Wide low angle across a scorched black ash plain under a firestorm, industrial towers and wind turbines standing far off in the smoke and heat haze. A horde of burning beast-riders charges in from the horizon, their bodies cracked black rock with fire running in the seams. @avatar slides low across the ash crust toward them, the long sword held back, its edge cutting a thin white-hot line of light through the embers.

3-5 seconds - The camera tracks beside @avatar at knee height, matching speed. Ash and sparks spray off the blade. The dark grey coat and torn cloak stream flat behind @avatar in the hot wind.

5-7 seconds - @avatar plants both feet and raises the sword overhead in both hands. The blade ignites into a long horizontal bar of white-hot light. The hood stays up, the cloak snapping.

7-9 seconds - Straight overhead. The bar of light comes down into the ash and opens a wide crater ringed with burning embers. The horde curves around the rim into concentric rings.

9-12 seconds - @avatar drops into the centre of the crater. A radial shockwave throws the nearest ranks outward, and rings of glowing ember circles bloom across the ash around @avatar.

12-15 seconds - @avatar dashes low across the plain, the sword dragging one continuous white-hot line. Along that line a whole row of burning beasts is blasted apart into cinders and smoke.

15-18 seconds - Wide. A wave of white-hot energy sweeps an entire flank, and bodies lift off the ground into a rising column of fire and ash behind @avatar.

18-21 seconds - The column of fire takes shape: a long dragon of flame and embers uncoils up out of the firestorm, its eyes two points of white heat.

21-24 seconds - Behind @avatar a molten colossus heaves up out of the ash, its crust cracked black rock with lava glowing in every seam, and swings one huge arm across the frame. @avatar slides flat under the arm, the sword trailing white light.

24-27 seconds - Close. @avatar drives the glowing blade up under the colossus's jaw. The giant goes over and slides across the crust, throwing up a bank of cinders and sparks.

27-30 seconds - The fire dragon coils once around @avatar and collapses back into falling embers. Final wide: @avatar walks away, small in the frame, two tracks in the ash, the plain burning dark orange behind.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

The same @avatar throughout - one warrior, one long sword, the same dark grey coat, hood and torn cloak in every shot. Gender, face, hair and skin stay exactly as in @avatar from the first frame to the last and never come from this text, and the wardrobe of @avatar never appears.
Look: stylized cinematic CG dark-fantasy in the register of a high-end game cinematic - photoreal ash, smoke, fire, cloth and rock, stylized characters and stylized energy.
Palette: black and charcoal ground under a deep red-orange sky. The world and every enemy burn in deep ember orange, and the light from @avatar's blade is the only white-hot light in the film, so @avatar always reads against the fire.
Camera: long lens, handheld weight, real motion blur, low angles and straight overheads, whip pans on the impacts, embers and ash crossing the lens.
Weather: one continuous firestorm - drifting embers, ash falling through the air, heat shimmer, smoke moving at every depth.
Sound: the low roar of fire throughout, ash crunching under the boots, blade impacts, beast roars, a deep low hit on each energy release, and a restrained low orchestral score under the whole film. No subtitles.

CHARACTER LOCK - HIGHEST PRIORITY: The person in every frame is exactly the person in @avatar. Preserve their facial identity, facial structure, eye shape and spacing, eyebrows, nose, mouth, exact skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, hair length, texture and colour, freckles and distinctive marks, apparent age, build and body proportions - identically, shot to shot. Preserve their gender presentation exactly as shown; do not masculinize, feminize or otherwise reinterpret it. Do not beautify, slim, de-age or restyle them. No identity drift, no other people in the film. ATTACHED IMAGES ARE MANDATORY AND FINAL: If an avatar image is attached, that is the person - reproduce them exactly in every frame. The attached images outrank every word below them; wherever image and text disagree, follow the image. @avatar defines identity only - its clothing, pose, background and lighting are ignored completely. Wardrobe (comes from this text, never from @avatar): a loose cream-and-navy striped knit sweater, straight-leg blue jeans, worn trail sneakers and a small dark backpack, unisex cut, no logos or lettering. Fit each garment to the character's body naturally without altering its design, cut, proportions or colour - the garment is fixed, only its drape adapts. The same in every second of the film. Ultra-realistic cinematic outdoor cinematography, 30 seconds, one continuous immersive handheld follow with no cuts anywhere. @avatar runs without ever breaking stride while the ground transforms under the feet, each new world spreading outward from where a foot lands. The stride, speed and direction never change. Hands stay correct in every frame: five fingers per hand, natural running arm swing. 0-5 seconds - GREEN. The film opens already at full speed: @avatar mid-stride, running hard across a high alpine meadow at golden hour, grass whipping past the lens, burning meteors already streaking down the sky behind. No fade in and no still opening frame. The camera runs behind at shoulder height. 5-10 seconds - LAVA. Mid-stride the grass darkens and splits into black volcanic rock veined with molten orange, heat shimmer and drifting ash. The camera swings around into a front-on lead shot. 10-15 seconds - ICE. The molten crust freezes over into blue glacier ice with wind-driven snow streaming across it. Breath fogs. @avatar runs straight at the camera as it leads backwards, close enough that the face is fully readable. 15-20 seconds - DESERT. The ice turns to sand: red-gold dunes, hard flat light, sand smoking off the crests. The camera drops to ground level beside the feet, then rises back behind @avatar. 20-25 seconds - JUNGLE. The sand greens over into dense wet jungle, huge leaves and shafts of light through the canopy, leaves brushing past the lens. 25-30 seconds - GREEN AGAIN. The jungle thins back into the same golden meadow. @avatar slows, stops and turns to look straight into the lens, face fully readable, then out at the way the world has come. Final wide, clouds below the ridge. Light travels with the terrain: warm golden hour, hot orange bounce, cold blue, hard flat sun, green filtered light, then golden hour again. Sound: breathing and footfalls all the way through plus the sound of each world in turn, and a restrained low score. No subtitles.
