FRANCE - PAPER CUTS (PROMPTS)

Scene 1: Paris, the Eiffel Tower over the Seine at dusk

Paper-cut collage illustration in the exact style of the reference image: flat layered cut-paper shapes with soft drop shadows, torn and scissor edges, matte paper texture, muted documentary palette. Wide view of Paris at dusk: the Eiffel Tower rising in the centre as a dark lattice paper cut, the Seine as flat blue-grey water planes in front, the Paris rooftops as low cream paper blocks on both banks, one stone bridge with arches, one barge moored front left. A large orange sun disc and cut-paper cloud strips. Light from the left, warm. No other elements. Palette: iron grey, cream, Seine blue, orange. 16:9.

Scene 2: Mont Saint-Michel at low tide

Paper-cut collage illustration in the exact style of the reference image: flat layered cut-paper shapes with soft drop shadows, torn and scissor edges, matte paper texture, muted documentary palette. Wide view of Mont Saint-Michel at low tide: the abbey mount rising alone in the centre, its walls and spire stacked as flat grey paper shapes, the tidal flats as wide pale sand planes in front, the sea as a thin blue plane behind, the causeway as one straight line. A pale gold sun disc and cut-paper cloud strips. Light from the right, soft. No other elements. Palette: stone grey, pale sand, sea blue, cream. 16:9.

Scene 3: Provence, lavender rows to one farmhouse

Paper-cut collage illustration in the exact style of the reference image: flat layered cut-paper shapes with soft drop shadows, torn and scissor edges, matte paper texture, muted documentary palette. Wide view of Provence in summer: one stone farmhouse with a tiled roof standing in the centre on a low hill, lavender rows as flat purple paper bands running toward it from the front edge, one cypress tree beside the house, dry hills in two paper planes behind. A large mustard sun disc and cut-paper cloud strips. Light from the left, warm. No other elements. Palette: lavender purple, stone cream, cypress green, mustard. 16:9.

Scene 4: Etretat chalk arch

Paper-cut collage illustration in the exact style of the reference image: flat layered cut-paper shapes with soft drop shadows, torn and scissor edges, matte paper texture, muted documentary palette. Wide view of Etretat in Normandy: the white chalk arch cliff rising on the right with its needle rock beside it, the sea as flat blue-green water planes in front, a pebble beach plane on the left, the grass on the cliff top as a green plane, one small fishing boat front centre. A pale sun disc and cut-paper cloud strips. Light from the left, cool. No other elements. Palette: chalk white, sea green, grass green, cream. 16:9.

TIMELINE (5 seconds)
00:00-00:00.3  Only the torn orange and blue paper dusk sky, nothing else on screen.
00:00.3-00:00.9  The big orange sun disc rises into its place on the left; the torn peach cloud strips slide in from the left and right edges one at a time and settle.
00:00.9-00:01.6  The Paris rooftop blocks rise from the bottom edge on both banks and settle with a tiny paper wobble.
00:01.6-00:02.6  The Eiffel Tower rises alone in the centre from its four legs up to its tip and locks.
00:02.6-00:03.3  The stone bridge with its arches slides in from the right and locks across the river.
00:03.3-00:03.8  The blue-grey Seine planes slide in from the bottom edge one strip at a time, and last the moored barge slides in from the left and locks front left.
00:03.8-00:04.9  LIVING HOLD. The composition is complete and nothing changes position. Only three gentle motions: the barge bobs gently at its mooring, the gold sun reflection shimmers on the water, the cloud strips drift very slowly. Paper-cut motion, small and calm.
00:04.9-00:05.0  Settle: identical to the attached image.

AVOID
Camera movement, cross-fades, morphing, elements changing shape or colour, extra elements not in the image, people walking, vehicles moving, text, watermarks, music, any frame after 00:04.9 that differs from the attached image.
