Slide Function

S-00 is the textless MV cover base. It must carry the whole film's visual promise before the first story shot: muddy road, broken starlight, a small back-view traveler, and one restrained distant fire. It is not a normal narrative frame and not a finished text poster.

First Read

Dark wet muddy road and puddle first; broken cold star reflection second; tiny traveler walking away third; distant fire last. The upper dark negative space must remain usable for manual post-production title placement.

Risk Class

cover image, mixed C/D motif, distant character identity, post-production safe-area requirement

Reference Plan

• Style module: mixed C / Muddy Starlight and D / Night Road Fire, with the global road-film kernel.
• Active style references:

• Accepted prior shot references for continuity only, not as direct copy targets:

• Visible-context roles for generation:
  • Image 1 = master character anchor for outfit, backpack, and identity continuity.
  • Image 2 = walking-back crop for posture and back-view silhouette.
  • Image 3 = repaired C muddy starlight reference for puddle texture and broken star reflection.
  • Image 4 = D night-road fire reference for restrained distant warm signal.

Visual Requirements

• 16:9 horizontal photorealistic cinematic documentary still.
• Textless base image only: no generated title, subtitle, logo, watermark, or readable sign.
• Foreground: real wet muddy road and irregular puddle in the lower 25%-35% of the frame.
• Puddle: broken cold-white star reflection visible inside dark dirty water, fragmented by mud, ripples, stones, and road grit.
• Midground: one small 50-year-old male traveler walking away or three-quarter away, dark long coat, old backpack, old boots.
• Traveler scale: about 1/10 to 1/8 of frame height, smaller than the road and world.
• Road: starts near the foreground and recedes toward the distant fire.
• Distance: one tiny restrained warm-orange roadside fire, with at most one or two weaker far fire points.
• Upper area: dark, quiet, visually clean negative space suitable for later manual title placement.

Character Handling

Use the current active character anchor and walking-back crop/slice. Identity should read through silhouette, long dark coat, backpack shape, walking direction, and road-worn posture. Do not show a face or make the traveler a portrait subject.

Composition / Scale

Wide road-film cover frame. Keep environment first, road second, puddle/starlight third, traveler fourth, fire fifth. The traveler should sit below or near the middle third, small enough to remain a coordinate in the landscape. The fire should be small and distant, not a camp scene and not the destination.

Light / Color / Texture

Low-saturation deep blue-black night, wet dark blue-gray, earth brown mud, coal black coat, cold-white reflected stars, and one restrained warm-orange fire signal. Mud, water, stones, road grit, coat fabric, backpack wear, and boot edges should feel physically real.

Forbidden Drift

No generated text, Chinese characters, English characters, subtitle, title, logo, watermark, UI, readable sign, poster layout, hero backshot, centered large person, face close-up, travel advertisement, camping lifestyle, tents, chairs, cookware, group reunion, victory, arrival, fantasy magic glow, cyberpunk, neon, bright sunrise, bright sunset, clean tourist road, clean mirror lake, or full S-46/S-51 duplication.

Acceptance Checklist

• Image is textless and usable as a cover base for later manual title design.
• First read is muddy night road and puddle, not a large person or campfire.
• Broken star reflection is visible but not a full close-up repetition of S-46.
• Traveler is small, walking away, and anchored to the active character references.
• Distant fire is tiny and restrained, not a campsite or final reunion.
• Upper dark negative space remains available for title placement.
• Output may be recorded as production-pass under the production-stage default.

Prompt Handoff

Build the final prompt through the gpt-image-2 Advisor / host-native workflow. Load the active character anchor and walking-back crop/slice before generation, plus the C muddy starlight and D night-road fire style references. Save selected host output as projects/2026-06-23-在路上/slides/s00/s00-v1-image.png and update slides/slides.md.
