Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Plan a four-shot scene

Uses cinematic-director

  • The scene is included in the prompt; replace it with your own short scene if desired.
Use cinematic-director to turn this scene into a concise four-shot AI video plan for Runway in 16:9: A courier hesitates outside a Republican-era Shanghai apartment door before knocking, then slips an envelope under it and walks away. Include each shot's story function, blocking start and end states, camera behavior, continuity anchors, and motion prompt.

Suggested first task

Write one keyframe-to-video prompt

Uses cinematic-director

  • Supply a keyframe image and describe the desired action.
Use cinematic-director to turn my supplied keyframe into one AI video motion prompt. Specify one primary physical action, its start and end states, one dominant camera behavior, an environmental reaction, and the visual details that must remain unchanged. Keep negative constraints limited to this shot's actual risks.

Suggested first task

Repair a slideshow-like video prompt

Uses cinematic-director

  • Paste the original generation prompt.
  • Describe the observed result and intended movement; provide the failed clip if available.
Use cinematic-director to diagnose this failed video generation: the character barely moves and the rain appears frozen. Review my original prompt, explain the likely failure mechanism, and rewrite it with observable body movement, an environmental reaction, and a clear end state. Recommend the cheapest relevant repair.
