Oracle Image Library - Shot List & Plan (v1)

Date: 2026-06-28. A reusable bank of oracle-in-room plates for the Origin Blueprint customer report AND the investor document. Principle: do NOT cram all figures into one frame. Use FEW figures per image, varied moods, varied rooms, so each plate carries one feeling and one message. Some get text overlays.

The spaces (locked rooms, in Council/OracleSheets/Olympus Rooms/)

• Council Chamber (astrolabe rotunda) - gravitas, authority, "the system." Best for council/group + investor hero.
• The Library (domed hall, armillary, mosaic floor) - knowledge, credibility, "the reading." Scholarly.
• Sky Terrace (cloud-level pool at dawn) - aspiration, transformation, lightness, hope.
• The Lunar Salon (moon-window, candles, drapes; + open-floor variant) - intimacy, care, rest, sleep, the feminine. Warmest.

Mood palette (deliberately mixed, not all stern)

Serious/reverent · Caring/compassionate · Joyful/warm (smile, even laugh) · Intimate/tender · Playful/personality · Triumphant/uplifting.

The plates (figure count, room, mood, where it's used, text?)

1-figure (heroes, emotional anchors)

1. Sophia, caring - Lunar Salon, warm near-smile, hand to heart. Report cover / "You are seen" opener. TEXT: optional headline left.
2. Apollo, uplifting - Council Chamber by the astrolabe, arms open, radiant. Investor hero / report "Path Forward." TEXT: "Your Origin Blueprint."
3. Agastya, wise & kind - Library, holding the scroll, gentle eyes. Report "the science / traditions" section.
4. Athena, confident - Library or Chamber, owl on arm, half-smile, strong but not cold. "Clarity / wealth codes" teaser.
5. Prometheus, fierce-warm - Chamber, fire crown, slight knowing smile. "The spark / activation." High drama; good investor accent.
6. Hestia, tender - Lunar Salon, cupped flame, soft. Sleep/rest audio context. TEXT: "Rest."
7. Gaia, grounding - Sky Terrace or Library, holding the earth-sphere, warm elder smile. "Foundation / grounding."

2-figure (relationship, dialogue, care)

8. Sophia + a seeker (silhouetted human) - Lunar Salon, Sophia leaning in caringly. "We read YOU." Report intro. TEXT space.
9. Hermes + Athena - Library, mid-exchange, light expressions. "The council deliberates." Investor "how it works."
10. Eros + Concordia - Lunar Salon, tender. "Relationships" membership teaser.

3-figure (small councils, balanced casting)

11. Sophia, Apollo, Agastya - Library, around a glowing chart, engaged warm faces. Investor "the synthesis." Female-led.
12. Athena, Hermes, Prometheus - Chamber, dynamic, varied expressions. "The engine."

5-figure (signature council, DONE)

13. The Five (Hermes, Agastya, Apollo, Athena, Prometheus) - Council Chamber. BUILT (Council/Rooms/CouncilChamber_Hero_v1a/b.png). Investor product hero. NOTE: male-heavy; rebalance future group shots with Sophia/Athena/Gaia/Hestia forward.

8-figure (full pantheon, use sparingly)

14. Grand council - Council Chamber, all principal oracles, Apollo conducting, balanced gender. ONE epic establishing shot only (investor cover or report finale). Risk of muddiness; keep as a single showpiece, not a workhorse.

Text-on-image candidates

Put type only on plates with built-in negative space, set in our fonts (Cinzel display / Cormorant headline). Strong picks: #1 (cover), #2 ("Your Origin Blueprint"), #6 ("Rest"), #8 (intro line). Keep investor plates mostly text-free so the deck adds its own captions.

Casting-balance rule

The core roster skews male/Greek. For every male-heavy group plate, make a female-led or warm counterpart (Sophia, Athena, Gaia, Hestia, Persephone, Echo, Concordia). Vary skin/material per the casting doc so the library reads diverse, not monochrome marble.

Production notes

• Tool: Higgsfield Nano Banana Pro, 2K, 16:9, reference = room image + 1-3 oracle sheets. ~1-2 credits per 2-up.
• Keep figure count low for face fidelity; 1-3 figures hold likeness best, 5 is the safe ceiling, 8 is a showpiece gamble.
• Save keepers to Council/Rooms/ (group/scene) or a new Council/Plates/ (single-oracle), named Affirmology_<Oracle-or-Scene>_<Room>_v<n>.png.
• Eyes/kintsugi: push "glowing gold orb eyes + visible kintsugi gold veins, living marble not polished statue" harder than v1, which rendered a touch too clean.
