Shot design β’ Prompt craft β’ Edit pipelines
Overview
A sandbox for short cinematic experiments: stylized shots, micro-edits, and lightweight story beats. The goal is to refine a reliable pipeline from prompt β shot β cut, while keeping creative control and consistency.

Toolchain (rotating)
- Video Gen: Luma / Runway / Pika (per concept)
- Images & Style refs: Midjourney / FLUX variants
- Cut/Grade: Resolve / Premiere; LUTs for consistency
- Audio: royalty-free stems; AI VO for temp only

Workflow (high-level)
- Define the beat: emotion, action, exit frame.
- Lock the look: palette, lens, grain, time-of-day.
- Prompt β iterate β pick 2β3 best.
- Stabilize look via LUT + grain preset.
- Cut to 10β20s concept; add temp audio.
Continuity Checklist
- Character silhouette & wardrobe color
- Time of day + shadows direction
- Camera language (handheld vs locked)
- Grain / noise and tone-mapping consistency
- Aspect & safe area (IG/Reel vs 16:9)
Prompt Recipe (copy-paste template)
# Shot Prompt (single beat) SUBJECT: <who, wardrobe color, prop> ACTION: <what happens in this 3β5s beat> CAMERA: <lens mm, angle, movement> (e.g., 35mm handheld medium close-up, slow push-in) LOOK: <color palette, film stock/LUT vibe, grain level, time of day, weather> COMPOSITION: <rule of thirds, leading lines, negative space> MOOD: <two adjectives> # Example SUBJECT: lone runner in burgundy hoodie, reflective armband ACTION: exhales and prepares to sprint, streetlight flickers CAMERA: 35mm handheld MCU, slow push-in from right LOOK: sodium-vapor amber + teal shadows, Kodak 2383 print LUT, fine grain, night drizzle COMPOSITION: rule of thirds, wet asphalt bokeh MOOD: determined, intimate
Edit Notes / Shot List (mini)
S1 β Establish (2s): streetwide, neon reflections, slow pan RβL S2 β MCU (3s): runnerβs breath condensing; subtle push-in S3 β Insert (1s): laces tightening; quick whip SFX S4 β Profile (3s): first steps; parallax of parked cars S5 β Backplate (1s): puddle splash; match cut to logo color
Use Cases (safe)
- Spec reels and motion moodboards
- Short social teasers / loops
- Pitch frames for story development
Ethics & Rights
- Use licensed/royalty-free audio and fonts
- Do not depict real people as endorsements
- Disclose synthetic elements for clients
