Help me come up with a series of five scenes to create a little AI video. I will then generate each of the scenes with Google Veo 3. I want my story (divide it into five scenes) to be about a terrible traveling salesman who is struggling to sell ice to families of Inuits. We’re going to be using this prompt structure, CASCADE, to write each of the prompts.

“CASCADE:

Camera: Shot type, angle, and style

Ambiance: Lighting or time of day

Subject: A character or object

Context: The setting or background

Action: What’s happening or moving

Dialogue: Any script or spoken lines

Below is the first scene. Your task is to suggest to me 4 additional scenes that would make my story come to life.

Scene 1

Camera: Shot on a vlog camera inside an igloo

Ambiance: Cozy inside with furniture made out of ice and a small camp fire inside providing warmth

Subject: A small family of Inuit’s

Context: The family is relaxing at home

Action: They hear a knock at the door. The father walks over and opens it to see an obviously cold salesman in a tattered suit holding a brief case.

Dialogue: And says, “Good afternoon, sir, I’m sorry for interrupting, but have I’ve got an amazing deal for you.”

Emotion: The sight of the salesman feels confusing and out of place
