==================================================
IMPORTANT OUTPUT WORKFLOW
==================================================

Always work in stages and stop after each stage.

STAGE 1:
Generate only 10 viral topic ideas.
Then stop and ask:
“Which topic do you want to build?”

STAGE 2:
After I select a topic, generate only 4–5 YouTube thumbnail / first-image prompt options.
Then stop and ask:
“Which thumbnail option do you want to finalize?”

STAGE 3:
After I select a thumbnail, generate:
A. final thumbnail prompt
B. full roadmap
C. full image prompts in batches
D. full video prompts in batches

Never jump directly to full prompts before I select the thumbnail.

==================================================
STAGE 1 — TOPIC IDEA GENERATION
==================================================

When I paste this master prompt, generate ONLY:
- 10 highly viral topic ideas
- ranked from most viral to least viral
- English only
- optimized for American / western audience

- topics must fit abandoned-to-luxury restoration niche

For each topic provide:
1. Topic number
2. Main video idea title
3. One-line reason why it would attract American viewers

Do not generate thumbnails yet.
Do not generate image prompts yet.
Do not generate video prompts yet.
Then stop.

==================================================
STAGE 2 — THUMBNAIL / FIRST-IMAGE OPTIONS

Do not generate full image prompts yet.
Do not generate full video prompts yet.
Then stop and ask:
“Which thumbnail option do you want to finalize?”

==================================================
STAGE 3 — FULL BUILD PACKAGE
==================================================

When I select a thumbnail option, generate the full build package in this order:

A. FINAL THUMBNAIL PROMPT
B. FULL ROADMAP
C. FULL IMAGE PROMPTS
D. FULL VIDEO PROMPTS

Default project target:
- 120 image prompts total
- sequential smooth-flow story
- designed for Veo3 8-second image-to-video chaining
- final video approximately 16 minutes
- image prompts must be designed to flow naturally as 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and so on
- no BGM

==================================================
MOST IMPORTANT RULE — SINGLE FORWARD FLOW
==================================================

Design all image prompts as one smooth forward-moving visual story.

That means:
- each image must continue naturally from the previous image
- each next image must feel like the next logical moment
- do not create random jumps
- do not create repeated stagnant frames
- do not create near-identical consecutive frames with no visible progress
- do not create huge impossible jumps
- every image should show controlled visible progress, usually around 10%–20% forward change from the previous image

The sequence must feel like:
one continuous restoration journey from abandoned → cleanup → repair → rebuilding → finishing → final reveal.

The viewer should feel that the video flows forward smoothly without needing trimming tricks.

==================================================
EXTERIOR-FIRST RULE
==================================================

Complete the full exterior restoration first before entering the interior.

Do not begin interior rebuilding until the exterior is fully restored and complete.

Exterior restoration should include:
- abandoned intro
- worker arrival
- cleanup
- trash removal
- weed cutting
- washing
- foam wash if relevant
- repairs
- roof / walls / windows / sign restoration
- paint
- exterior branding/theme
- patio / outdoor seating / landscaping
- final exterior completion

==================================================
ENTRY BRIDGE RULE
==================================================

Whenever moving from one major area to the next, create natural bridge images.

Example:
- full completed exterior front
- slightly closer entrance view
- close doorway / threshold view
- just inside entrance looking inward
- locked lobby view

Use similar bridge logic between interior sections:
- lobby to dining
- dining to counter
- counter to kitchen
- kitchen to support zone
- support zone to restroom/corridor
- corridor to storage/staff
- storage/staff to pickup/delivery

These bridge images must visually guide the viewer into the next area.
Do not teleport randomly into a different room.

==================================================
BACKGROUND CONTINUITY LOCK
==================================================

Every section must preserve strong background continuity.

Exterior continuity must preserve:
- same structure identity
- same road position
- same parking lot
- same sign location
- same mountains / skyline / background landmarks
- same sky direction
- same camera angle within a locked section
- same lens feel
- same size and position of the structure in frame

Interior continuity must preserve:
- same room geometry
- same wall positions
- same ceiling height
- same windows and doors
- same floor shape
- same counter / furniture placement logic
- same room depth
- same camera placement inside each locked section
- same lens feel

Never randomly change the environment inside the same area.

==================================================
OBJECT PROGRESSION RULE
==================================================

No object may suddenly appear in a final image unless it was gradually introduced earlier.

If the final result contains:
- benches
- tables
- patio lights
- plants
- pavers
- signs
- kiosks
- digital displays
- booths
- counters
- shelves
- kitchen equipment
- lockers
- mirrors
- epoxy flooring
- decorative elements
- outdoor furniture

Then earlier images must show workers:
- bringing them in
- unpacking them
- positioning them
- installing them
- aligning them
- polishing them

No teleporting objects.
No instant furniture.
No instant sign.
No instant garden.
No instant lights.
No instant counters.
No instant dΓ©cor.

==================================================
NO STATIC DUPLICATE RULE
==================================================

Do not create two consecutive images that feel almost frozen or visually identical.

Each image must clearly show:
- meaningful restoration progress
- changed worker actions
- changed object progress
- changed cleanup / repair / installation status

Even when the camera stays locked, the scene must visibly advance.

==================================================
INTERIOR FLOW ORDER
==================================================

After the exterior is fully complete, move through interior in this order:

1. entrance / lobby
2. dining hall
3. ordering counter / front service
4. kitchen / prep
5. support / drive-thru service area
6. restroom / corridor / customer utility zone
7. storage / staff / backroom
8. pickup / delivery / special service zone

After all interior sections are complete:
- show final interior reveal images
- then show final exterior day drone reveal
- then show final exterior night drone reveal

==================================================
FINAL REVEAL RULE
==================================================

After the whole project is complete, the ending must include:

1. FINAL INTERIOR COMPLETE REVEALS
Show the best completed interior sections in polished final form.

2. FINAL EXTERIOR DAY DRONE REVEALS
Show multiple completed exterior drone views in daylight.

3. FINAL EXTERIOR NIGHT DRONE REVEALS
Show matched completed exterior drone views at night / evening with lights on, sign glowing, patio lighting visible, and realistic premium ambience.

The final day and night drone views should feel highly satisfying and rewarding.

==================================================
IMAGE ROADMAP STRUCTURE
==================================================

Use this improved default 120-image roadmap unless the topic requires minor adaptation:

1–5 = abandoned exterior intro montage
- five different exterior drone views of the abandoned property
- these are introductory anchor shots showing the full outside from multiple sides

6–20 = full exterior restoration flow
- continue smoothly from abandoned exterior into worker arrival, cleanup, washing, repair, repainting, sign installation, patio/landscaping, and final exterior completion
- these images should feel like one smooth exterior story, not random repeated angles
- use a controlled combination of matching exterior views so the sequence flows naturally

21–24 = exterior-to-interior entrance bridge
- completed exterior front
- closer entrance
- doorway / threshold
- just inside entrance

25–34 = lobby / entrance rebuild flow

35–38 = lobby-to-dining transition bridge

39–48 = dining hall rebuild flow

49–52 = dining-to-counter transition bridge

53–62 = ordering counter / front service rebuild flow

63–66 = counter-to-kitchen transition bridge

67–76 = kitchen / prep rebuild flow

77–80 = kitchen-to-support / drive-thru service transition bridge

81–88 = support zone / drive-thru service rebuild flow

89–92 = support-to-restroom / corridor transition bridge

93–98 = restroom / corridor rebuild flow

99–102 = corridor-to-storage/staff transition bridge

103–108 = storage / staff / pickup / delivery rebuild flow

109–112 = final interior complete reveal images

113–116 = final exterior day drone reveal images

117–120 = final exterior night drone reveal images

==================================================
CAMERA RULES
==================================================

Exterior:
- use real-world exterior camera logic
- opening can use multiple drone views
- restoration sequence should still flow smoothly from shot to shot
- the camera must feel realistic and stable
- do not use chaotic random jumps
- full structure should remain understandable at all times

Interior:
Every interior prompt must include this exact sentence:
“INTERIOR ONLY — camera is physically inside the room, surrounded by walls and ceiling, do not show the whole exterior building, do not show drone view, do not create cutaway/dollhouse view.”

Interior must never show:
- full exterior building
- outside drone view
- sliced building
- cutaway wall
- transparent dollhouse look
- impossible floating camera outside the room

Small natural exterior glimpses through doors or windows are allowed only if minor and realistic.

Exterior prompts should strongly imply:
“EXTERIOR ONLY — full outside structure visible, no cutaway building, no sliced interior view, no dollhouse composition.”

==================================================
WORKER RULES
==================================================

Use realistic worker counts based on space.

Exterior large scenes:
- approximately 20–80 visible workers, depending on scale
- never overcrowd
- spread them naturally

Large interior areas:
- approximately 10–30 visible workers

Small interior areas:
- approximately 4–12 visible workers

Final reveal shots:
- 0–5 visible workers maximum
- workers may be doing final polish or standing aside

Workers should wear matching yellow construction uniforms unless topic needs a different but consistent outfit.
Workers must look realistic.
Avoid crowd distortion, extra limbs, broken anatomy or unnatural density.

==================================================
IMAGE PROMPT RULES
==================================================

When generating image prompts:
- all prompts must be in English
- number exactly like:
1....

2....

3....
- one blank line between prompts
- no extra explanation between prompts
- each prompt must be detailed
- each prompt must preserve structure identity
- each prompt must reinforce continuity
- each prompt must make the next transition easier for Veo chaining
- each prompt must clearly indicate whether it is EXTERIOR ONLY or INTERIOR ONLY
- each prompt must show visible forward progress from previous image

==================================================
VIDEO PROMPT RULES
==================================================

When generating video prompts:
- all prompts must be in English
- number exactly like:
1-2....

2-3....

3-4....
- one blank line between prompts
- each prompt must be written for Veo3 8-second image-to-video workflow
- prompts must assume the lower-numbered image is the current starting image and the higher-numbered image is the next destination image
- every prompt must support a smooth forward-moving transition
- do not write video prompts like slideshow instructions
- do not create reverse motion
- do not create loop behavior
- do not freeze awkwardly at the start or end
- every prompt must feel like the next live action moment in the same story

Each video prompt must include this mandatory line once:
“Use the uploaded first image only as the START FRAME and the uploaded second image only as the END FRAME. Create one continuous forward transformation from START to END.”

Each video prompt must also include this mandatory lock:
“MASTER VIDEO LOCK: Keep the motion realistic and documentary-style. Preserve camera logic, perspective continuity, structure identity, room continuity, and progressive object installation. No CGI, no cartoon, no text, no watermark, no fantasy, no reverse motion, no looping, no split-screen before/after, and no sudden teleporting objects.”

Every video prompt must:
- describe exactly what workers are doing
- describe exactly how progress happens between the two images
- describe the visible motion
- describe the matching ASMR sounds
- end with:
“No background music, only real ASMR work sounds.”

==================================================
CRITICAL VIDEO FLOW RULE
==================================================

The video prompt sequence must follow the same narrative logic as the image prompts:
- exterior full completion first
- then smooth entrance into interior
- then one interior area at a time
- then final interior reveals
- then final exterior day reveals
- then final exterior night reveals

Do not break the story flow.
Do not jump randomly backward.
Do not introduce an area before the previous area logically leads into it.

==================================================
RETENTION / SATISFACTION RULE
==================================================

The sequence must stay satisfying and never boring.

Include strong satisfying moments such as:
- abandoned reveal
- worker arrival
- major trash removal
- pressure wash
- foam wash
- roof / wall repair
- sign installation
- paint reveal
- patio / paver work
- plant installation
- lights turning on
- doorway entry into interior
- epoxy pour
- booth installation
- counter installation
- screen / kiosk installation
- stainless kitchen setup
- mirror / sink install
- shelf organization
- final polishing
- day reveal
- night glow reveal

Each section should contain at least one strong satisfying beat.

==================================================
BATCH DELIVERY RULE
==================================================

Because the output is large:
- deliver image prompts in batches
- deliver video prompts in batches
- keep numbering continuous
- do not restart numbering
- after each batch ask:
“Next batch?”

==================================================
FINAL REMINDER
==================================================

Always follow this order:
1. topic ideas
2. wait for selection
3. thumbnail options
4. wait for selection
5. final thumbnail prompt
6. roadmap
7. image prompts in batches
8. video prompts in batches

Always optimize for:
- American audience
- high CTR
- strong realism
- strong continuity
- satisfying progression
- no BGM
- smooth Veo chaining
- no fake AI feel

Now begin with STAGE 1 only:
Generate 10 highly viral abandoned-to-luxury restoration topic ideas for my American audience.
Then stop and ask which topic I want to build.
