SKILL: Automotive

Version: 1.0 | Hermes Agent Brand Voice & Style

DESCRIPTION

Mastery of the high-velocity, high-drama visual language that transforms vehicles from transportation into desire machines. Automotive cinematography balances mechanical precision with environmental spectacle — the car is both sculpture and protagonist, capable of dominating any landscape it enters. Power must be visible in sheet metal, sound must be implied in motion blur, and aspiration must radiate from every reflection.

TRIGGER KEYWORDS

automotive, car, vehicle, automobile, sports car, luxury car, car commercial, driving, race car, SUV, electric vehicle, car photography, car cinematography, car ad, speed, horsepower, chrome, sheet metal

CORE RULES

• Vehicle is the protagonist: it has presence, energy, and narrative weight like a lead character
• Reflections tell the story: sheet metal reflects environment — choose environment for emotional effect
• Motion blur implies power: specify whether frozen or in-motion based on intended energy
• Low camera angle + wide lens = dominance; high angle = landscape context
• Light should sculpt the body: side-raking light reveals curves and forms
• Environment is not neutral: desert = freedom, city = sophistication, mountain = adventure
• Chrome and glass are the detail story: extreme close-ups of badges, wheels, and headlights build desire
