- 1. Write a logline in one sentence and a five-beat structure.
- 2. Build a shot list of 15-20 shots with durations and shot sizes.
- 3. Generate a character sheet and lock a look block.
- 4. Produce every keyframe, repair flaws, then animate image-to-video.
- 5. Record voiceover, add a music bed, ambience and at least five spot SFX.
- 6. Edit: trim heads/tails, cut on action, apply one global grade.
- 7. Upscale only the final timeline, master to -14 LUFS.
- 8. Export 16:9 and 9:16 versions with an AI-generated disclosure label.
