Look inside the actual edition

A workshop page from the guide, followed by an original example included in the practical files.

Six practical workshop steps

1. Choose by the editorial job
2. Replace every subject placeholder
3. Preserve one controlled action
4. Read the tool and model requirements
5. Score observable defects
6. Build a small approved collection

Your first session

1. Open PROMPTS.md and choose one of the thirty shots.
2. Fill the subject, authorized reference and intended use before generation.
3. Run the optional storyboard example: python storyboard.py shots.json output
4. Generate a short test in your own video tool and record its model and settings.

Requirements and scope

A video generator of your choice. Each brief needs your subject and any reference assets you are licensed to use.

The library contains original text briefs and planning assets, not thirty generated clips. A prompt cannot guarantee physical accuracy or identical output across models. Model access, hardware and generation credits are separate.

Public tools behind the workflow

These tools are available from their original authors. This independent guide adds instruction and original exercises; tool access, model weights and service accounts are separate.

Try an editable prompt

Replace the bracketed fields with your own project details. This sample is part of the included prompt library.

Create a six-second close-up of [PRODUCT] on a matte stone surface. A large window on camera left provides soft daylight. Begin on the edge texture, then make a slow lateral camera move to reveal the full product. The product stays still and retains the exact shape, finish and markings of [AUTHORIZED REFERENCE]. Keep the background plain and depth of field sufficient to read the product outline. Review the result for drifting labels, changing geometry and implausible reflections before using it.
