SPATIAL ANCHOR — NEVER BREAK THIS
==================================================

parallel rows of giant gothic columns.
The central aisle runs SOUTH → NORTH.

Never swap their physical positions.
IMPORTANT CAMERA PRINCIPLE:
The camera may rotate, roll, orbit, dive, rise, overtake or pass close to characters,
BUT THE CHARACTERS THEMSELVES MUST KEEP THEIR ESTABLISHED PHYSICAL POSITIONS.
Dynamic camera movement must never be interpreted as character teleportation.
Use architectural landmarks — altar, columns, stained glass, central aisle — as visual anchors during moving shots.
==================================================
0:00–0:03

==================================================
CAMERA CHOREOGRAPHY RULES
==================================================
Camera should feel physically attached to the momentum of the action.
Use aggressive perspective changes while preserving character geography.
Preferred camera vocabulary:
18mm ultra-wide tracking,
extreme foreground occlusion,
ground-skimming tracking,
reverse tracking,
camera overtake,
crash zoom,
snap zoom,
whip pan,
snap tilt,
vertical boom,
controlled Dutch angle,
partial orbit,
arc tracking,
POV-like blade tracking,
camera dive,
camera rise,
rapid push-in,
rapid pull-back,
parallax,
foreshortening,
foreground wipe,
dolly zoom.
IMPORTANT:
During a complex character movement,
camera follows ONE predictable vector.
During a simple character movement,
camera may perform the more complicated movement.
Never make BOTH the character and camera perform unrelated complex rotations simultaneously.
==================================================
ACTION CONTINUITY
==================================================
Every action must preserve:
START POSITION
→ ANTICIPATION
→ MOVEMENT VECTOR
→ CONTACT
→ REACTION
→ END POSITION.
Knight always progresses SOUTH → NORTH.
Queen remains at NORTH altar.
Monster appears BETWEEN them.
When camera crosses around an object,
show architectural landmarks immediately afterward to re-establish orientation.
Use altar as NORTH visual anchor.
Use collapsed entrance as SOUTH anchor.
Use WEST/EAST columns to maintain lateral orientation.
==================================================
ANIMATION DIRECTION
==================================================
Strong pose-to-pose animation.
Use anticipation before every leap and sword strike.
Use arcs for sword motion.
Use drag and follow-through on cloak.
Use overlapping action and delayed follow-through on Queen's enormous hair.
Use dynamic foreshortening during movements toward lens.
Use smear frames selectively.
Use multiple-image animation for extremely fast sword-arm motion.
Use directional speed lines.
Use 1-frame crimson/black impact frames.
Use 2–3 frame hit-stop on major collisions.
Use camera shake ONLY at physical impacts.
Do not continuously shake camera.
==================================================
STRICT CHARACTER STABILITY
==================================================
QUEEN:
one head,
two eyes,
two humanoid arms,
two hands,
five fingers per hand,
one humanoid torso.
Shoulder teeth are decorative organic armor.
Black hair remains hair.
Crimson structures remain separate from arms.
KNIGHT:
one head,
two arms,
two legs,
two hands,
one sword.
Sword always remains physically connected to his hands during attacks.
==================================================
AVOID
==================================================
No teleportation.
No position swapping.
No accidental character mirroring.
No unexplained screen-direction reversal.
No midair direction changes.
No floating without force.
No random spinning.
No repeated dodge.
No repeated sword attack.
No repeated camera composition.
No full 360-degree random orbit during combat.
No camera movement that implies character teleportation.
No duplicate characters.
No duplicate sword.
No extra limbs.
No fused hands.
No detached hands.
No Queen hair transforming into arms.
No monster spawning inside characters.
No costume changes.
No face changes.
No modern objects.
No text.
No subtitles.
No logos.

16:9 cinematic composition.
PRIORITY ORDER:
1. Exact character identity from reference images.
2. Physical continuity and spatial consistency.
3. Readable action choreography.
4. Dynamic cinematic camera choreography.
5. Spectacular anime effects.
Make the camera extremely energetic and visually surprising,
but never sacrifice the physical readability of the Knight, Queen, monster, sword, or cathedral space.
