Create a cinematic 15-second vertical 9:16 architectural tour of a colossal futuristic palace in a hyper-advanced megacity.  Use the uploaded reference image  as the primary visual anchor for the palace architecture, city scale, material language, lighting, atmosphere and color palette. Preserve the monumental layered circular towers, suspended terraces, curved megastructures, dark metallic construction, glass walls, warm amber interior lighting, soaring spires, aerial traffic routes, extreme vertical scale and pink-gold sunset atmosphere.  The palace must feel like the private imperial residence of an ultra-advanced civilization rather than a hotel, office tower or ordinary apartment. No medieval styling. No fantasy stone castle. The architecture is futuristic, elegant, ceremonial, vast and believable. follow storyboard  
MULTIPLE SHOTS — continuous luxury palace tour: 
 [0.0–2.5s] EXTERIOR ARRIVAL Begin high above the futuristic city. Camera glides toward the enormous palace complex built into the upper levels of the megastructure. Massive circular terraces extend into open air thousands of meters above the city. Aerial roads, distant towers and suspended structures create extraordinary depth. Camera smoothly approaches a gigantic ceremonial entrance cut into the curved palace facade.  
[2.5–5.0s] GRAND ATRIUM Seamlessly move inside into a breathtaking multi-level atrium several stories tall. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass overlooks the futuristic skyline. Curved metallic columns, floating staircases, suspended bridges, reflective dark stone flooring, warm recessed lighting, sculptural water features and subtle holographic illumination. Camera performs a slow forward dolly with a gentle upward tilt to reveal the immense vertical volume.  
[5.0–7.5s] IMPERIAL HALL Transition into the palace's grand ceremonial hall. A vast open chamber with an elevated minimalist throne platform, enormous curved windows, monumental geometric ceiling structures, polished obsidian surfaces, bronze-gold accents and floating architectural light elements. No people. Camera performs a slow elegant lateral orbit around the central space.  
[7.5–10.0s] SKY GARDEN Move through transparent doors onto a gigantic suspended sky garden. Mature trees, sculpted greenery, reflective pools, futuristic fountains, curved walkways and terraces project outward over the city. The sunset glows through distant needle-like towers. Camera floats low across the garden, then gently rises to reveal the terrifying height and skyline.  
[10.0–12.5s] PRIVATE ROYAL CHAMBER Enter a luxurious private royal living chamber combining advanced technology with restrained elegance. Huge curved panoramic glass walls, low sculptural furniture, dark metal, warm wood, soft textiles, subtle illuminated surfaces, integrated holographic controls and a dramatic view of the megacity below.
