Load this skill whenever you are writing or reviewing scene-by-scene video direction JSON. Use the example files to calibrate the expected level of phased detail, physical metaphor, and visual richness for each scene.
Analyze the script first, then read ONLY the example files whose category matches the visual patterns your scenes will need. Most scripts match 2-4 categories. Do NOT read every file.
