60-second brand film for a family bakery: narration about the founder starting at 4am, three generations, a neighbourhood that gathers there.
Example output
| 3 | 0:08-0:12 | Close-up | Eye level | Static | Flour-dusted hands shape a loaf | LOC-1 bakery counter | VO: "Every morning since 1987..." | Cut | RISK: hands. Alternative: loaf already shaped, hands enter frame to dust flour. | Continuity bible CHAR-1 Founder: woman in her late 60s, short silver hair, round tortoiseshell glasses, navy apron over a cream knit jumper, flour on forearms. LOC-1 Bakery: narrow room, white subway tiles, worn oak counter, warm light from a window on the left.
Troubleshooting
- Shot timings don't add up to the runtime: ask the model to recalculate and show the running total column.
- Characters still drift between keyframes: use your image tool's character or style reference feature with one approved frame.
Known limitations
- The shot list is a plan; generated footage will often need re-planning when a shot won't render convincingly.
- Continuity descriptions improve consistency but don't guarantee it across different models.
