Movie

## 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 ``` ~/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.
