📋 Copy Master Prompt

A cinematic ASMR woodcarving montage, filmed in continuous real workshop time not sped up, not rushed. The pacing should feel like a slow satisfying time-lapse: fast enough to show progress, slow enough that every cut and motion is clearly visible and believable. Same hands, same workbench, same lighting throughout for full continuity - this must feel like one uninterrupted crafting session, not disconnected clips.

SHOT 1 - The Raw Material:
A rough, unshaped chunk of hardwood - bark still visible on one edge, natural grain, irregular surface - is placed onto a worn wooden workbench. A pencil is used to sketch the rough side-profile silhouette of the [Vehicle] directly onto the wood block as a carving guide. Overhead workshop lighting, warm and directional, casting soft shadows across the grain.

SHOT 2 - Rough Shaping:
Hands use a large carving knife and mallet-driven chisel to remove the bulk excess wood, following the sketched guideline. Large chunks and thick curls of wood fall away and land on the workbench, where they remain and begin to accumulate into a small pile they do not disappear between cuts. The block slowly reveals the rough silhouette of a car body. Visible tool marks remain on the surface at this stage - intentionally rough, not yet refined.

SHOT 3 - Defining the Body:
Switching to a smaller detail chisel, hands carve the hood line, windshield angle, roofline, and rear slope with clean deliberate strokes. Wood shavings continue building up around the base of the model on the workbench. The car's proportions become clearly recognizable by the end of this shot.

SHOT 4 - Wheel Wells and Doors:
Using a narrow gouge chisel, hands carve out the wheel arch curves on both visible sides. A fine scoring blade is used to etch clean door seam lines, a trunk line, and panel gaps into the surface subtle but visible detail lines that read as doors and panels rather than a solid block.

SHOT 5 - Sanding Pass:
Hands wrap sandpaper around a fingertip and sand the entire body in smooth back-and-forth motions, progressively smoothing the chisel marks. Fine wood dust drifts and settles onto the bench and the shavings pile below. The wood grain becomes visibly smoother and catches the light differently than the rough stage.

SHOT 6 - Fine Detail with Rotary Tool:
A rotary Dremel-style tool is used at close macro range to carve the front grille slats, headlight recesses, and side mirror mounts. Fine wood dust sprays lightly with each pass. This is the most intricate, slowest-paced shot - real-time, not time-lapsed, to let the detail register.

SHOT 7 - Assembling the Parts:
Separately hand-carved small wooden wheels already rounded and smoothed in an earlier stage, shown briefly in-hand - are fitted onto axle pegs and pressed into the wheel wells until they sit flush. Tiny carved details - a spoiler piece, side mirrors - are dabbed with wood glue and pressed into place by hand, held for a beat to set.

SHOT 8 - The Cleanup:
Hands use a soft brush to sweep all the accumulated wood shavings and dust off the workbench and off the model itself, revealing the clean, fully carved and assembled wooden car sitting alone on the now-clear bench. This is the calm-before-the-finish beat.

SHOT 9 - The Finish:
An airbrush sprays a smooth, even, glossy paint finish onto the body in slow controlled passes, the matte raw wood transforming into a rich, reflective, showroom-glossy surface. Chrome-finish rims are pressed onto the wheels as the final touch.

SHOT 10 - Transition (optional finale):
Match-cut from the finished glossy miniature to the real, full-sized [Vehicle] parked on a wet reflective city street at night.

STYLE: 8K resolution, hyper-detailed wood grain texture in every carving shot, macro studio lighting with warm directional shadows during the crafting shots, shifting to moody anamorphic urban bokeh only in the final transition shot. Ultra-photorealistic. Continuous realistic hand movement - natural grip, natural tool contact, no floating or disconnected motion. Wood shavings and dust persist and accumulate realistically across shots rather than resetting.

SOUND DESIGN (ASMR): chisel taps, wood scraping and splintering, sandpaper friction, rotary tool whirring, soft brush sweeping, airbrush hiss. No music, no voiceover.
