Sample output

**Cinematic Sizzle Reel Brief — Summit Trail Co. "Made for the Climb" (30s)**
Emotion arc: stillness → effort → triumph. Style refs: Patagonia field films, the muted-but-vivid grade of *The Rescue*.

**SCENE-01 | 0:00–0:05**
- *Visual:* a lone hiker laces a boot at a dark trailhead, breath visible in cold pre-dawn air.
- *On-screen text:* (none — let it breathe)
- *VO:* "Every climb starts before the light does."
- *Music cue:* low drone, single piano note
- *Seedance prompt:* Close-up of weathered hands lacing a hiking boot at a misty trailhead, pre-dawn blue light, breath fog, slow push-in, 50mm, shallow DOF, muted teal-and-amber grade, filmic grain.

**SCENE-02 | 0:05–0:14**
- *Visual:* fast-cut ascent — boots on scree, hand grabbing rock, calf muscle straining.
- *On-screen text:* MADE FOR THE CLIMB
- *VO:* "Built for the part of the trail that fights back."
- *Music cue:* percussion enters, building
- *Seedance prompt:* Rapid handheld cuts of hiking boots gripping loose scree and a hand pulling on granite, harsh morning sidelight, 35mm, kinetic energy, same teal-amber grade.

**SCENE-03 | 0:14–0:24**
- *Visual:* hiker crests a ridge as sun breaks over distant peaks, arms loose, exhaling.
- *On-screen text:* (none)
- *VO:* "And the part that makes it all worth it."
- *Music cue:* full swell, strings
- *Seedance prompt:* Wide drone reveal of a single hiker cresting a mountain ridge as golden sunrise floods the valley, slow pull-back, anamorphic, epic scale, warm grade.

**SCENE-04 | 0:24–0:30**
- *Visual:* product hero — the boot on rock, logo catching light.
- *On-screen text:* Summit Trail Co. — summittrail.com
- *VO:* "Summit Trail. Made for the climb."
- *Music cue:* resolve, single sustained note
- *Seedance prompt:* Hero close-up of the Summit Trail boot planted on sunlit granite, logo catching warm rim light, static, 85mm, shallow DOF, premium product grade.

Scene IDs and timestamps are stable — reference "SCENE-02" for any revision and I'll edit it in place.
