Movie

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:

1. Style bible — Visual language, color palette, lighting, grain
2. Character sheets — Reference images from multiple angles
3. Shot list — Scene-by-scene with framing, duration, transitions

Project Structure

text

~/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 work

Generation 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

1. Consistency over speed — Better to re-generate than break character continuity
2. Log everything — Every prompt, every iteration, what worked/failed
3. Tool routing matters — Seedance for motion, Kling for duration, Runway for style
4. Start rough — Animatics first, polish approved shots only
5. Project scope — 2-hour film = hundreds of shots. Plan iterations.
