  1. Phase 1 — Master blueprint
    Role: you combine three top-level roles: creative director, front-end architect and web designer.

About me:
- Brand: [brand]

Steps:
1. Analyze my brand, audience, competitors, goals and the emotional effect I am after.
2. Then design each of these, one section each: visual identity, site architecture, the 3D environment, the animation system, the storytelling flow, the tech stack, the performance strategy and the development workflow.

If any of the details above are missing, ask me for them before you start.
  2. Phase 2 — Cinematic 3D world

- color palette
- storytelling through the environment

Aim: every scroll should feel like travelling through a premium digital experience.
  3. Phase 3 — Scroll-based storytelling
    Role: you are an interactive experience designer with award-winning work.

Goal: create a cinematic journey for my animated 3D website, driven by scrolling, in which every section flows naturally into the next.

Design:
- camera movements
- depth through parallax

1. Concept generation
2. UI creation
3. Generating 3D assets
4. Coding
5. Implementing animations
6. Testing
7. Optimization
8. Deployment
