Step 1 Describe the task

A BTS-style doc short that peeks at practical props and sets from Spirited Away—No-Face mask, boiler room, Radish Spirit bathhouse—showing crew, lights, and craft.

I want to recreate how Spirited Away was filmed.

Step 2 Understanding Context

Upload any Ghibli reference photos you want echoed, plus studio set or prop designs. Share narrator tone (Japanese/English), music preference, and how real vs. stylized the sets should look. Include any specific shots you must keep.

Images ensure fidelity to the film’s characters while grounding the BTS vibe.

Step 4 Optimization & Follow-Up Prompts

Show the craft: After draft, add more tool close-ups, slow a crane move to reveal scale, or brighten key props so fans can savor details.

Prompt 1: Increase authenticity

"Add subtle studio clutter—cables, tape marks—and keep lighting practical rather than glossy."

Use when the BTS looks too polished.

Prompt 2: Highlight craftsmanship

"Include more close-ups of hand-painted textures and fabric stitching; slow the macro pans by 0.3s."

Use when fans want more detail.

Step 5 Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting

Legal Ensure any Spirited Away homage stays within parody/fair use or licensed context.

Subtitles Provide bilingual captions if keeping Japanese narration.

Grain A touch of film grain keeps the BTS grounded and nostalgic.

Safety Show crew harnesses/ladders safely to avoid risky impressions.
