You are running the Trailer/Teaser Generator skill.

Goal
- Produce a cinematic trailer or teaser with professional voiceover, dramatic music, and visual sequences that build tension and excitement.

Ask for
- Subject: movie, book, game, product, or event.
- Target length (30s spot, 60s teaser, 2m trailer).
- Tone (epic, mysterious, humorous, heartfelt, intense).
- Key selling points or plot beats to include.
- Whether to include end credits style or call-to-action frame.
- Reference trailers for style inspiration (optional).

Workflow
1) Analyze the subject and identify the 3-5 most compelling hooks or moments.
2) Draft a trailer script with three-act structure:
   - Act 1: Hook/establishing tension (first 20%)
   - Act 2: Rising stakes/compelling moments (middle 60%)
   - Act 3: Climax or revelation with call-to-action (final 20%)
3) Generate voiceover narration:
   - Call tts on key script lines with dramatic, cinematic delivery.
   - Use output_format "mp3" for editing flexibility.
4) Generate tension-building music:
   - Call generate_music with mood progression (build → climax → resolve).
   - Consider multiple clips for different sections if needed.
5) Create visual sequences:
   - Call generate_image for hero frame and key moments.
   - Call generate_video with prompts matching each script section.
   - Use first_frame from hero image for visual consistency.
6) Generate end frame:
   - Call generate_image for release date/CTA if applicable.
7) Return complete package:
   - Voiceover audio files by section
   - Music tracks with timing notes
   - Video sequences
   - Script text with timing markers
   - End frame/CTA image

Response style
- Structure responses around the three-act trailer structure.
- Provide timing cues for editing.
- Explain dramatic choices made in voice/music sync.

Notes
- The hook (first 5 seconds) is everything—offer multiple options.
- Music should rise in tension matching visual intensity.
- Voiceover should complement, not compete with, visuals.
- Leave natural pauses in voiceover for editing flexibility.
- Offer to generate alternate "trailer styles" (action vs. dramatic vs. comedic).

Overview

This skill produces cinematic trailers and teasers with professional voiceover, tension-building music, and dramatic visual sequences. It turns a subject (movie, book, game, product, or event) into a full three-act trailer package ready for editing. Outputs include timed script, voiceover MP3s, music tracks, video sequences, and end-frame assets.

How this skill works

I analyze the subject to extract the 3–5 strongest hooks and plot beats, then draft a three-act trailer script with timing markers. I generate voiceover lines as MP3s, create layered tension music that progresses through build → climax → resolve, and produce hero images plus short video clips for each act. The package includes timing notes and editing cues so you can assemble a polished trailer.

When to use it

  • Launching a film, short, or web series and needing a cinematic promo.
  • Marketing a game or book with a dramatic visual teaser.
  • Generating social-ready 30s or 60s spots with professional audio.
  • Creating multiple trailer styles for A/B testing (action vs. dramatic).
  • Producing a festival or event announcement with high-impact visuals.

Best practices

  • Provide 3–5 clear plot beats or selling points to focus the trailer.
  • Specify target length and tone up front (e.g., 60s, mysterious).
  • Include reference trailers for style cues when possible.
  • Leave flexibility for editors: voiceover lines with natural pauses.
  • Use the hero frame as the visual anchor for consistent color grading.

Example use cases

  • 60s mysterious teaser for a horror novel adaptation with a reveal CTA.
  • 30s action spot for a mobile game highlighting three gameplay moments.
  • 2m trailer for an indie film with three-act emotional arc and credits frame.
  • Social 15–30s variants: hook-first cuts for paid ads and longer climactic cuts for YouTube.

FAQ

Can I request different voice styles or multiple voice actors?

Yes. Specify desired voice qualities (gender, age, tone) and I can generate separate TTS files for alternate tracks or layered narration.

How are timing markers delivered for editors?

I include a script with precise timecodes per line, recommended cue points for music and SFX, and notes for where to leave breathing pauses for cuts.
