Step 1 Describe the task

A thriller-tinged Alice story: find a key in a willow drawer, race through the black forest, dissolve a purple mushroom, and reveal a yawning door beneath her feet.

Design a video script (about 30–40 seconds). It’s a story with a thriller vibe: a dark version of Alice (her outfit tinged with dark-academia, slightly gothic) runs to the willow by a pond. Suddenly, a small drawer slides open in the tree trunk; inside lies a key. A cold gleam flashes in Alice’s eyes. Clutching the key, she sprints into the woods and stops before a giant purple mushroom. The moment the key touches it, the mushroom dissolves into violet smoke. She bursts into laughter as the ground yawns open into a great door. The overall mood is eerie and foreboding, yet bathed in natural warm light.

Step 2 Understanding Context

Upload reference images for your dark Alice look—dress, hair, and accessories. Share forest and mushroom visuals, plus how gothic vs. whimsical you want the palette. Indicate lighting: warm natural rays cutting through an eerie woodland.

Reference props (key design, drawer texture) keep the magic effects grounded. Images ensure the violet smoke and ground-door transition match your vibe.

Step 3 What Video SuperAgent creates

We’ll craft a 4-beat storyboard covering the willow discovery, the chase, the mushroom dissolve, and the door reveal—paced for 30–40 seconds with thriller undertones.
