AI Video Production

Pick any product or idea you care about. Use Claude Opus 4.8 to produce a four-shot vertical shot list with a paste-ready prompt per shot, totalling 20 seconds. Save it as 02-shotlist.md. Done when every row has a camera, a subject, and a prompt.

Create a still in Midjourney or Flux, upload it to Runway as the first frame, and animate only the motion. Generate it at least twice and keep the better take. Done when you have shot1.mp4 saved and named by shot number.

Generate all four clips, assemble them in CapCut with music and auto-captions, and export at 1080p vertical. Done when exports/final.mp4 plays start to finish with captions and no dead frames.

Play your finished short to three people in person with the sound off, then with sound on. Write down the first thing each person says. Done when you have three honest reactions and one concrete thing you would change.

Take three prompts that gave you mediocre clips and rewrite each as subject, action, camera, lighting, style. Regenerate and compare. Done when at least two rewrites visibly beat their originals.

Lock one reference image and use image-to-video plus references to put the same character in three different scenes. Done when a viewer agrees it is clearly the same person across all three shots.

Record or import two minutes of talking-head footage. Transcribe it, remove filler words, apply Studio Sound, and export a tightened cut. Done when the export is under 90 seconds with clean audio and no audible cuts.

Find a real person, ask them three short questions on camera, and record. The goal is raw material with natural pauses and filler. Done when you have a clip messy enough that Descript editing makes a real difference.

Sketch six frames by hand for a 15-second sequence, noting camera move and what each shot shows. Done when you could hand the paper to someone else and they could generate it.

Wire a workflow that takes a sheet row, writes four prompts with Claude Sonnet 4.6, calls a generator API, polls to completion, and stores the clips with a notification. Include a row cap. Done when adding one row produces four downloaded clips with no manual clicks.

Write a one-paragraph look bible, then grade a batch of clips from two different generators to match it. Save the grade as a reusable preset. Done when clips from both tools read as one cohesive piece.

Produce three openings that differ only in the hook, attach each to a shared body, publish all three, and record three-second retention. Done when you can name the winning hook and the reason it won.

Publish at least two finished videos to a real platform where strangers can see them. Track retention and one comment theme. Done when you have real-world numbers, not just a private export.

Show your signature look and pipeline to one real person who might hire or collaborate, and ask what would make them say yes. Done when you have written down their answer and one change you will make.
