Mars Colony Crisis Project

Prompt

Goal: Create a cinematic sci-fi storyboard contact sheet showing a tense emergency inside a Mars colony during a red dust storm, in the style of high-budget film stills with anamorphic widescreen framing. Canvas: A single 16:9 horizontal image divided into exactly 8 rectangular widescreen panels arranged in a clean 2-column by 4-row grid. Use thin white dividers between panels and no captions, no logos, no visible text except tiny incidental signage. Setting and mood: {argument name="setting" default="a domed human colony on Mars during a violent red dust storm"}. The entire sheet should feel dark, dramatic, and cinematic, with heavy red-orange atmosphere, emergency lighting, volumetric dust, glass reflections, and realistic production design. Panel count and layout: Include exactly 8 distinct frames: 1. Top-left: Wide exterior establishing shot of a futuristic city or research base protected by a transparent dome on a barren Martian landscape, distant towers glowing through a massive red storm cloud. 2. Top-right: Close-up silhouette of a large human hand pressing against or emerging behind a dusty translucent surface, almost abstract, surrounded by swirling red dust. 3. Second row left: Symmetrical view down a cylindrical metal tunnel or airlock corridor with circular ribs, red emergency lights, and small suited figures far in the distance. 4. Second row right: Close-up of {argument name="main character" default="a frightened astronaut"} inside a helmet visor, face lit by red alarms and a bright headlamp flare, with a blurred figure running in the background. 5. Third row left: Interior biodome or greenhouse walkway with trees and dense vegetation under orange emergency haze, railings in the foreground, a doorway at the right edge. 6. Third row right: Two astronauts in bulky suits running down a dark industrial corridor toward a group ahead, red alarm lights and motion blur emphasizing urgency. 7. Bottom-left: Low-angle view under a curved glass or transparent dome ceiling with red warning lights, flying debris, scratches, cracks, and storm particles battering the surface. 8. Bottom-right: Close-up from above or through glass of a dark human hand pressed flat against a dusty transparent panel, with faint cracks, condensation, and glowing red reflections around it. Visual style: Photorealistic cinematic stills, gritty hard sci-fi, realistic astronauts and architecture, shallow depth of field in close-ups, strong contrast, smoky atmosphere, anamorphic lens flares, subtle film grain, deep blacks, saturated rust-red palette with occasional white headlamp highlights. Constraints: Maintain exact 8-panel grid, no comic speech bubbles, no explanatory labels, no extra frames, no cartoon style. Make every panel feel like a different shot from the same suspenseful film sequence about {argument name="story event" default="a breach or crisis threatening the Mars colony"}.
