# Cinema Storyboard Pitch

Create complete 16:9 Japanese slide images in the Cinema Storyboard Pitch style. Turn business lessons into finished slide boards whose cards, arrows, labels, and diagrams stay readable as thumbnails while keeping this family's distinct look.

Generate each slide as one finished PNG with image_gen: background, Japanese text, diagrams, objects, icons, texture, and layout together. Do not rebuild the design with PPTX shapes, HTML/CSS, SVG, or local text overlays.

If this skill arrives as a ZIP, extract it first and read this file plus all required references. Do not infer the style from the ZIP name or cover alone.

## Required Reading

Read these before generating:

1. references/input-workflow.md
2. references/visual-system.md
3. references/slide-recipes.md
4. references/quality-bar.md

Inspect assets/reference-slides/style-reference.png, samples/contact_sheet.png, and all ten sample slides. Treat the ten samples as authoritative finished examples. Preserve the whole family's matte black charcoal-grain background with dry-brush sweeps; vertical film strips with sprocket holes and monochrome graphite storyboard sketches on both edges; hanging fresnel lamp with a warm amber light cone; rough dry-brush warm white Japanese gothic headline with a deep red emphasis word and a thin red brush underline; thin gray keyline subline box with registration crop marks; storyboard frames on aged warm-white paper with pencil tooth and loose hatching; small solid red square shot-number chips; graphite and ink artwork limited to red and amber accents; amber camera-move block arrows; three deep red label slabs with warm white text and a thin white keyline; clapperboard slate, director's chair, fountain pen, lens flare and chalked continuity marks; black bottom band with a thin amber rule and an amber phrase. Do not copy only the cover layout.

## Non-Negotiable Workflow

1. Parse numbered user text into an ordered slide plan.
2. Preserve meaning while compressing long copy into one headline, one subline, exactly three short labels, and one bottom takeaway.
3. Choose one role from references/slide-recipes.md.
4. Generate exactly one complete 16:9 Japanese slide image at a time with image_gen.
5. Save as slide_01.png, slide_02.png, and so on.
6. Compare each result with the bundled contact sheet and quality bar.
7. Regenerate unreadable Japanese, invented details, logo-like marks, weak hierarchy, or generic template output.
8. If PPTX or PDF is requested, make PNG slide art first and place each PNG full-bleed into the delivery file.

## Design DNA

Style: Cinema Storyboard Pitch — film pre-production pitch board rendered as a Japanese slide. Design DNA: matte black background with charcoal grain and broad dry-brush sweeps; the left and right edges are vertical film strips with punched sprocket holes, each frame filled with a small monochrome graphite storyboard sketch (a figure in a street, a hand writing, a landscape with rails, a person at a laptop, two people talking); a hanging fresnel studio lamp is clamped at the top-left, throwing a warm amber light cone across the title area; the headline is a rough dry-brush Japanese gothic in warm white with torn painterly edges, the emphasis word in deep cinema red, underlined by a single thin red brush stroke; the subline sits inside a thin gray keyline box with registration crop marks at its corners, in warm white; the main body is ONE dominant diagram of storyboard frames drawn on aged warm-white paper with visible pencil tooth and loose hatching, each tagged by a small solid red square shot-number chip at the top-left; the artwork inside is graphite and ink sketch with only red and amber allowed as accent color; connectors are solid amber block arrows shaped like camera-move indicators; exactly three label bars are deep red slabs running across the base of each frame with warm white text and a thin white keyline; decoration is on-set props: a clapperboard slate, a director's chair, a fountain pen, a lens flare on the lamp and short chalked continuity marks; the bottom is a black band with a thin amber rule above it, warm white text and one phrase in amber, with a small round spotlight emblem at one end; overall moody, monochrome-with-red, hand-drawn and cinematic; hand-drawn storyboard illustration, no photo, no realistic people.

Make every metaphor a pre-production artifact: blockers become rejected takes X-ed across a continuity strip with torn splices; change becomes a scribbled contact sheet redrawn as two clean storyboard rows; steps become three storyboard frames joined by camera-move arrows; improvement becomes a shot cycle that cuts back to the first frame; checks become call-sheet rows marked with grease-pencil strokes; roadmaps become a film strip whose three frames enlarge into milestones; priority becomes a 2x2 shot grid with the winning frame lit and grease-pencil circled; daily use becomes scenes one, two and three with handwritten timecodes; recap becomes one taped pitch board holding three shot chips. Do not reduce the family to three equal cards with the right colors.

## Prompt Contract

Use this structure for every image:

Create exactly one complete 16:9 Japanese slide image.
Style: Cinema Storyboard Pitch.
Design DNA: matte black charcoal-grain background with dry-brush sweeps; film strips with sprocket holes and graphite storyboard sketches along both edges; a hanging fresnel lamp casting a warm amber light cone; rough dry-brush warm white Japanese gothic headline with a deep cinema red emphasis word and a thin red brush underline; thin gray keyline subline box with registration crop marks; one dominant diagram of storyboard frames on aged warm-white paper with pencil tooth and loose hatching, each tagged by a red square shot-number chip; graphite and ink artwork with only red and amber accents; amber camera-move block arrows; exactly three deep red label slabs across the frame bases with warm white text; clapperboard, director's chair, fountain pen and chalked continuity marks; black bottom band with a thin amber rule, one amber phrase and a spotlight emblem
Required Japanese text:
- Headline: [short headline]
- Subline: [short subline]
- Labels: [exactly 3 short labels]
- Bottom takeaway: [one concise sentence]
Slide role: [cover / problem / before-after / three-step / loop / checklist / roadmap / matrix / case / recap]
Composition: follow the matching recipe and inspect samples/contact_sheet.png. Use one dominant role-specific metaphor from references/slide-recipes.md instead of a generic card grid.
Generate background, text, diagrams, objects, texture, and layout together.
Avoid extra microcopy, page numbers, fake logos, QR codes, URLs, dates, prices, watermarks, photorealistic people, equal card grids, and generic PowerPoint/Canva/Gamma output.

## Output Defaults

- One 16:9 PNG per slide, Japanese text only, thumbnail-readable.
- File names slide_01.png through slide_NN.png in content order.
- Keep the family look consistent across every slide in a deck.
