- Create films with AI video generation by managing scripts, prompts, consistency, and production workflows from concept to final cut.
Core Workflow
Every film follows: Script → Breakdown → Generation → Assembly → Polish.
Before generating ANY video, establish:
- Style bible — Visual language, color palette, lighting, grain
- Character sheets — Reference images from multiple angles
- Shot list — Scene-by-scene with framing, duration, transitions
Project Structure
~/movies/<project>/
├── script.md # Source screenplay or treatment
├── style-bible.md # Visual rules, references, palette
├── characters/ # Reference images per character
├── shots/ # Generated clips organized by scene
├── timeline.md # Edit assembly order
└── status.md # What's done, what needs workGeneration Checklist
Before each shot generation:
- [ ] Character reference images attached
- [ ] Style keywords locked (from style-bible)
- [ ] Previous shot reviewed for continuity
- [ ] Tool selected based on shot type (see
tools.md)
After generation:
- [ ] Check character consistency vs reference
- [ ] Check lighting/color matches scene
- [ ] Log prompt + result in shots folder
- [ ] Flag continuity issues for re-generation
Quick Reference
| Need | Load |
|---|---|
| Breaking down scripts into shots | preproduction.md |
| Writing effective prompts by tool | generation.md |
| Editing, color matching, sound | postproduction.md |
| Which API/tool for which shot | tools.md |
| Commercial: versions, formats, localization | commercial.md |
| Experimental: audio-sync, style morphing | experimental.md |
Critical Rules
- Consistency over speed — Better to re-generate than break character continuity
- Log everything — Every prompt, every iteration, what worked/failed
- Tool routing matters — Seedance for motion, Kling for duration, Runway for style
- Start rough — Animatics first, polish approved shots only
- Project scope — 2-hour film = hundreds of shots. Plan iterations.
