## Example 3: Fashion/Streetwear Ad

### User Input

- **Reference**: Nike-style urban ad
- **Character**: Brand ambassador photo
- **Instructions**: "Same energy, different person, add our logo in post"

### Key Considerations

1. **Multiple outfit changes** → Create character reference without specific outfit
2. **Urban locations** → Keep environment descriptions generic enough to recreate
3. **Dynamic camera** → Note specific movements (tracking, handheld, etc.)

### Character Reference Setup

```python
mcp__go-bananas__create_character(
    character_name="streetwear_ambassador",
    base_prompt="Athletic 25-year-old man, confident stance, urban style",
    reference_image_ids=[uploaded_id],
    # Note: Don't include outfit in base_prompt if it changes per scene
)
```

### Per-Scene Generation

```python
# Scene with hoodie
mcp__go-bananas__generate_with_character(
    character_name="streetwear_ambassador",
    scene_prompt="wearing black hoodie and joggers, urban alley with graffiti walls, walking toward camera with confident stride, natural overcast lighting, wide angle tracking shot, streetwear hypebeast urban, no text no logos",
    aspect_ratio="9:16"  # Vertical for social
)

# Scene with jacket
mcp__go-bananas__generate_with_character(
    character_name="streetwear_ambassador",
    scene_prompt="wearing bomber jacket and cargo pants, rooftop at golden hour, looking over city skyline, warm golden hour lighting, medium shot slight dolly, cinematic urban aspirational, no text no logos",
    aspect_ratio="9:16"
)
```

## Common Patterns

### Pattern: BTS Opening

Many successful ads start with behind-the-scenes footage. This creates authenticity.

```json
{
  "scene_number": 1,
  "subject": "Production crew with cameras and lighting",
  "environment": "Professional studio with visible equipment",
  "action": "Camera panning across setup",
  "lighting": "Practical lights visible in frame",
  "camera": "Wide angle, slow pan",
  "metatokens": "Documentary, raw, authentic, BTS"
}
```

### Pattern: Hero Product Shot

Center the product for maximum impact.

```json
{
  "scene_number": 3,
  "subject": "Product centered, hero position",
  "environment": "Clean backdrop, minimal distractions",
  "action": "Slow rotation or static beauty shot",
  "lighting": "Three-point product lighting",
  "camera": "Eye-level, slow dolly in",
  "metatokens": "Commercial, premium, sharp focus, 8K"
}
```

### Pattern: Lifestyle Integration

Show product in natural use context.

```json
{
  "scene_number": 4,
  "subject": "Person naturally using product",
  "environment": "Relevant lifestyle setting",
  "action": "Authentic interaction with product",
  "lighting": "Natural or motivated lighting",
  "camera": "Medium shot, observational",
  "metatokens": "Lifestyle, authentic, relatable"
}
```
