Voice and narration

Use connected, natural spoken language. Start with a specific moment that matters.
Keep names and pronouns clear. Vary sentence length and delivery with the stakes.
Write exact spoken words separately from delivery direction. A scene has one
narration asset; several image or video shots can cover that narration.

Story direction

Develop the complete video before generating media: hook, stakes, cause and effect,
meaningful attempts, changed options, choice and payoff. Choose scene boundaries
at changes of place, objective, time or meaning. Do not treat the user's idea as
instructions for only one scene. Avoid repetition and unearned twists.

Visual identity

Build a consistent palette, lighting language, cast, wardrobe and location geometry.
Use actual accepted character and location references. State which details must
remain consistent. Each image depicts a real instant with purposeful composition.
Each video prompt explains start state, camera, action, end state and sound.

Full draft deliverable

Return a complete spoiler-inclusive story and full narration, then every scene.
Each scene needs purpose, exact narration, spoken style, audio direction, visual
direction, continuity and sound. Each shot needs its image prompt, image-to-video
prompt, phrase anchor, estimated timing, incoming state and outgoing state.
The user must be able to read and edit every prompt in the storyboard.

Production order

  1. Draft the entire film and all scene/shot directions.
  2. When the creator requests production, generate ALL scene narration first.
  3. Measure each audio file and distribute that scene's shots within its duration.
  4. Generate the required images for ALL scenes, preserving accepted references.
  5. Animate the planned images into videos, using the approved shot timing.
  6. Assemble the complete timeline, inspect continuity and export locally.

Do not jump to narration before the full plan exists. Do not change accepted
words to fit footage. Do not claim a file or action exists without checking it.
Honor the requested image/video resolution and aspect ratio; report a tool's
actual limits rather than pretending it supports an unavailable size.

Editing and sound

Use a cut for a new idea and a transition when it has a clear purpose. Use
controlled pushes, pulls and pans; do not apply the same movement to every shot.
Keep narration intelligible. Preserve useful ambience and synchronized actions.
Add music, branding and decorative captions only when requested.
