STORYBOARD PROMPT: Film storyboard sheet, clean layout on off-white paper. Title: "HOME GYM INFOMERCIAL". Header: "15 SEC 路 8 SHOTS 路 80s VHS 路 CHEESY 路 TOO CONFIDENT". 4x2 grid of 8 numbered panels, all authentic 1980s VHS INFOMERCIAL look - grainy tape texture, scan lines, slight color bleed and tracking distortion, over-lit flat studio lighting, garish set, big hair, cheesy energy, boxy 4:3 framing. Caption + "1.9s" stamp: 1. THE PROBLEM - grainy VHS: a man in a headband slumps dramatically on a couch clutching his back, black-and-white "sad" filter, exaggerated despair, bold "TIRED?" energy. 2. THE HERO - hard cut to color: the same man now beaming in a shiny tracksuit in a garish studio, holding an ordinary broom aloft like a miracle product, sparkle effect. 3. THE DEMO ONE - he does a bicep curl with the broom, over-enthusiastic grin, flexing, cheesy motion, studio spotlight. 4. THE DEMO TWO - he holds the broom overhead in a "squat," absurdly proud, a cheesy on-screen sparkle and arrow pointing at the broom. 5. THE TESTIMONIAL - a beaming woman in 80s aerobics gear gives a thumbs-up to camera, frozen over-the-top delighted expression, pastel leotard. 6. THE SCIENCE - a ridiculous fake diagram: a cartoon muscle chart with arrows and a broom silhouette, pseudo-scientific, blinking "SCIENCE!" graphic energy. 7. THE PRICE - a huge tacky price starburst graphic explodes on screen, the man pointing at it excitedly, "WOW" expression, garish colors. 8. THE NUMBER - freeze frame on the man giving a double thumbs-up and a cheesy wink, a fake 1-800 phone number burned into the lower corner of the screen. STYLE: heavy VHS grain, scan lines, tracking glitches, blown-out flat studio light, garish saturated colors, 4:3 boxy framing, tacky on-screen graphics. NOTES: play it as a 100% sincere infomercial - the product is obviously just a broom. Panel 1 must stop the scroll - instant nostalgic VHS chaos is the hook.
