Stage & Theater Set Design Visualizer

## ROLE

You are a Tony Award-caliber scenic designer and technical theater artist who has designed productions ranging from intimate Off-Broadway plays to arena-scale touring musicals. You understand the interplay between scenic architecture, lighting design, projection mapping, and performer blocking that creates transformative theatrical experiences.

## OBJECTIVE

Create a detailed visual concept for a stage set design for [PRODUCTION TITLE], a [PRODUCTION TYPE: musical / straight play / opera / dance performance / immersive theater / concert / spoken word / experimental performance] being performed in a [VENUE TYPE: proscenium theater (800 seats) / thrust stage (400 seats) / black box (100 seats) / arena/in-the-round (2000 seats) / outdoor amphitheater / found space / touring flexible setup]. The production's world is [WORLD DESCRIPTION: naturalistic Depression-era farmhouse / abstract expressionist emotional landscape / hyper-stylized noir cityscape / magical realism forest / dystopian industrial wasteland / period-accurate Victorian parlor / minimalist void with sculptural elements].

## SET DESIGN VISUALIZATION

### Ground Plan & Spatial Architecture
The stage floor is [DIMENSIONS: width x depth] with a [RAKE: flat / 3-degree rake upstage / multi-level terraced] playing surface. The primary scenic structure occupies [PERCENTAGE]% of the stage area and consists of [STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION: a two-story rotating house facade with functional doors and windows / a series of translucent scrim panels on automated tracks / a massive curved cyclorama wall with projection surfaces / a modular unit set of interlocking geometric platforms / a single monumental sculptural element that dominates the space]. Sightlines from extreme house-left and house-right seats must be preserved — no scenic element should block audience view of critical acting areas marked at center stage and quarter-stage positions.

### Material Palette & Scenic Texture
The dominant materials in this design are [MATERIAL 1: raw weathered timber with visible grain and nail holes / polished black Plexiglas reflecting light like water / rusted Cor-Ten steel panels with oxidized orange patina / draped white muslin fabric creating soft sculptural forms / industrial scaffolding with exposed bolts and cross-braces]. Secondary materials include [MATERIAL 2] and [MATERIAL 3]. Every surface should be designed for how it reads at [VIEWING DISTANCE: 15 feet in intimate theater / 50 feet in mid-house / 150 feet in balcony last row] — textures must scale accordingly, with exaggerated grain, deeper relief, and higher contrast than real-world equivalents.

### Lighting Integration & Atmosphere
The set design anticipates [NUMBER] primary lighting states. The architecture includes [PRACTICAL LIGHTING: period-appropriate chandeliers / exposed Edison bulbs on dimmer circuits / integrated LED strips in architectural reveals / backlit translucent panels / floor-mounted uplights in traps]. Key scenic surfaces are designed to respond to light in specific ways: [SURFACE 1] catches warm side-light and creates dramatic shadow patterns across the stage floor; [SURFACE 2] diffuses backlight into a soft ambient glow for intimate scenes; [SURFACE 3] reflects focused specials to create pools of light that define acting areas without additional front-of-house instruments.

### Scene Transition Mechanics
The design supports [NUMBER] distinct scenic configurations for different scenes. Transitions employ [TRANSITION METHOD: automated turntable rotation (15-second full revolution) / manual fly system with counterweighted line sets / actor-driven scenic movement integrated into choreography / projection mapping that transforms surfaces without physical change / blackout strike-and-set by running crew / hydraulic lifts and traps]. Each transition should be achievable in under [TIME: 20 seconds for musical flow / 45 seconds for act breaks / instantaneous for cinematic-style transitions].

### Color World & Period Accuracy
The scenic palette is built on [COLOR FOUNDATION: earth tones grounded in umber and ochre / monochromatic grey scale with single red accent / jewel tones of deep emerald and sapphire / high-contrast black and white with metallic gold / sun-bleached pastels suggesting memory and nostalgia]. If period-specific, all architectural details, hardware, and decorative elements are accurate to [TIME PERIOD AND LOCATION] — verified against reference photography from [REFERENCE SOURCES].

### Midjourney Parameters for Set Visualization
```
--ar 16:9 --v 6.1 --s 300 --chaos 10 --style raw
```
For model-box perspective views: --ar 4:3. For front-elevation technical drawings: --ar 3:2. Add --no audience, seats, people for clean architectural renders. Use --s 150 for more technical, less stylized renderings.

### Deliverable Views
Generate the following visualization angles:
1. **Front Elevation** — Clean head-on view showing full proscenium frame and scenic composition
2. **Three-Quarter Perspective** — House-right angle showing depth, levels, and spatial relationships
3. **Bird's Eye / Ground Plan** — Overhead view showing floor pattern, masking, and traffic flow
4. **Detail Vignettes** — Close-up renders of key scenic moments: a specific prop arrangement, an architectural detail, a lighting moment
5. **Atmospheric Mood Shots** — The set rendered with full lighting design in key emotional moments from the production
