A magenta-to-gold striped sun sinks behind wireframe mountains while a neon perspective grid scrolls toward camera; chrome italic display type and a glowing script subtitle punch in on VHS tracking glitches, under scanlines and a fake camcorder HUD.",

  "guide": "- Fixed set: sky gradient #07021a → #5a0f6e → #ff5f9e with the horizon at y=640, seeded starfield, sun r≈290 with a #fff07a → #ff9d3c → #ff2a8a gradient and black mask bands (3→27px tall) scrolling upward, wireframe mountains in #12042b with #ff3fd8 ridges and #2ff3ff struts.\n- The floor is one wide div with transform: perspective(520px) rotateX(78deg), transform-origin 50% 0, magenta vertical and cyan horizontal 4px gradient lines; tween only its background-position (linear, never stops). Add a pink haze at the horizon.\n- Chrome type: Bungee, skewX(-10deg) on an inner span, text-clipped gradient #f8fcff → #9cd9ff → #24165c (hard horizon at 51%) → #ff7fd4 → white, white 2px stroke, a #3b0b62 7px drop shadow plus magenta bloom. Sweep a white specular band across it.\n- Script subtitle in Mr Dafoe, pale pink #ffe1f6 with layered #ff4fd8 / #ff2fa0 glows, rotated -7°, revealed with a clip-path wipe. Feature words in Monoton cyan neon, one per 0.5–0.6s beat.\n- Every cut is a VHS glitch (≤0.16s): world x ±34px + skewX ±9°, colour bars in screen blend, a tracking-noise band sweeping down. Keep a camcorder HUD (VT323: ▶ PLAY, running SP timecode, date, channel number that changes per cut) outside the glitching layer.\n- Always overlay 2px scanlines (28% black) and a vignette. Avoid flat backgrounds, sans-serif body copy and pastel colours."
