### Overview

This spec provides the assets and workflow to create a high-quality, stylistically consistent video for a website B-roll or hero section. The goal is to generate multiple shots with a shared aesthetic and then use Aleph 2.0 to apply global style changes efficiently.

### Asset 1: The Style Lock Prompt Template

Copy and modify this template in Runway's text-to-video generator for each shot you need.

```
A [number]-shot sequence for a [brand type] website hero.

## Master Style Guide (apply to all shots)
- **Visuals:** [e.g., Cinematic, 8K, photorealistic, shot on Arri Alexa with 50mm prime lens]
- **Lighting:** [e.g., Soft morning light, dramatic chiaroscuro, bright studio lighting]
- **Color:** [e.g., Muted pastel palette, high-contrast black and white, vibrant primary colors]
- **Mood:** [e.g., Calm and serene, energetic and fast-paced, professional and corporate]

## Shot List

```

### Asset 2: The 5-Minute Fix Workflow

Follow these steps once you have your generated clips.

1.  **Generate Clips:** Use the Style Lock Prompt to generate 3-5 clips in Runway.
2.  **Assemble Sequence:** Drag clips into the Edit Studio timeline.
3.  **Select Hero Frame:** Choose one frame to edit that best represents the scene.
4.  **Apply Style Edit:** Use an image or text prompt on the selected frame. (See examples below).
5.  **Propagate Changes:** Accept Runway's prompt to apply the new style to the entire sequence.

### Asset 3: Sample Style Prompts for Editing (Step 4)

Use these on your selected hero frame:

*   **For Color Grading:**
    *   `Apply a warm, golden hour color grade.`
    *   `Make the scene cooler with a blue-tinted, cinematic night look.`
    *   `Desaturate the colors for a moody, film noir aesthetic.`
*   **For Lighting:**
    *   `Add dramatic, high-contrast lighting.`
    *   `Make the lighting soft and diffused, as if on an overcast day.`
*   **For Texture:**
    *   `Add a subtle 16mm film grain.`
    *   `Give it the clean, sharp look of a modern digital camera.`
