Cinematic Storytelling Director
The Lost Sky Whale — 33s vertical (9:16), stylized 3D fantasy animation Runtime: 32 seconds of film + a ~1 second platform end card (see notes at the bottom). 0:00–0:08 — The Legend Rises Opens on a small wooden sailing boat adrift on a calm ocean at sunset. A teenage boy with tousled dark-brown hair and large brown eyes sits near the bow, wearing a loose green field jacket with a brown hood, a cream button-up shirt with rolled sleeves, brown trousers and dark lace-up boots. Ropes, a weathered sail and coiled rigging surround him. Above and behind him hovers a fantasy blue whale — a humpback-like body with a pale ribbed underside, a luminous cyan eye, glowing spots along its head and back, and bright turquoise light around its fins and throat. The camera pushes steadily in; the boy's expression travels from worry to astonishment as his eyebrows lift and his mouth parts. By 0:06.5 he is in extreme profile at the left edge, watching as the whale lowers toward the waterline and disappears into mist and spray. Narration: "People believed Sky Whales were only legends... until one appeared above the clouds." Lighting: Warm orange sunset on the boy and boat against the creature's cool blue bioluminescence. 0:08–0:16 — The Hidden Valley An abrupt cut to a dark crystal cavern drenched in cold blue-green light. Enormous black metal chains hang vertically from above. The boy, now full-body and much smaller in frame, walks rightward along a damp rocky path while the colossal translucent whale floats alongside him at head height, its body carrying internal turquoise light. The camera tracks laterally with him; huge chain links pass between viewer and characters, briefly occluding both. He stops and turns, and the whale's head fills the left of frame — a pale grooved mouth, dark spots on the snout, one clear blue eye. Narration: "It wasn't searching for treasure... it was searching for someone brave enough to save it." Camera: Tracking shot that resolves into a cinematic orbit. 0:16–0:24 — The Awakening The boy swings an ancient hammer that glows icy blue-white. Strikes land in slow motion and the crystal chains rupture, fragmenting into shards and prismatic light; rainbow light and bloom flood the valley as the boy shields his face. The palette turns from cold cavern blue to a burst of magenta, gold and violet. Narration: "One act of courage... awakened a forgotten miracle." 0:24–0:32 — The Farewell The whale soars through a transformed sky, glowing clouds spreading across the horizon in pink, violet, orange and teal. A luminous, feather-shaped crystal — translucent, prismatic, veined with bright cyan — descends into the boy's open palms, casting a cyan aura on his skin. He looks down and smiles gently, adjusting his hands around it. The camera keeps pulling back to a grand wide: the boy small on a high mountain ledge, the whale drifting overhead, the low sun near the right edge. Narration: "Some legends don't disappear... they wait for the right hero." Design & audio continuity The boy is visually consistent across all four scenes — same face, hair, green jacket, cream shirt, brown trousers and boots throughout. The whale keeps one design language: pale ribbed belly, glowing blue eye, luminous flank markings, translucent ethereal body. The score is a 32-second orchestral fantasy piece with a wordless choir, mixed at 0.55 under a warm baritone narrator, and I verified the narration lands exactly on the scene boundaries (0.4s, 8.4s, 16.5s, 24.5s). Honest notes on the finished cut The scene joins are hard cuts at 0:08, 0:16 and 0:24. AI clips can't cross-dissolve through the mixer, so it reads as a well-cut montage rather than one unbroken take — the motion within each scene is smooth and continuous, but the transitions between scenes are cuts. The whale's apparent scale shifts slightly between shots, and its fins and mouth are occasionally stylized rather than anatomically exact. The chain break is not fully shown — the crystal feather appears in the boy's hands without an explicit on-screen moment of the whale shedding it. A "DIGEN" brand card appears in the final ~0.5s (around 0:32.8) after the film ends. This is added by the platform on the finished asset rather than part of the mixed cut itself, so it isn't removable through the edit — but you can trim it in any editor. Want me to try softening the three scene transitions, trim the end card, or re-cut the ending so the whale visibly drops the crystal? Next step: How about this result?

# Cinematic Storytelling Director
## When to use
- User wants a 30-second cinematic story / movie-trailer-style short from an idea, topic, genre, or mood.
- User wants a story broken into 4 connected scenes with cinematic prompts, camera direction, character consistency, sound design, and an ending hook.
## Reference files
- `references/storytelling-framework.md`: the full storytelling rules (hook, conflict, emotion, character consistency, visual continuity, cinematic direction, environment, audio). Read before writing the story.
- `references/output-format.md`: the exact output format (title, 4 scenes, prompts, camera, character notes, SFX, music, ending hook). Read before writing the story.
## Steps
1. Clarify the idea: topic / genre / mood / hook. If the user hasn't given enough, ask one short clarifying question before generating.
2. Write the story following the framework and output format (read both reference files first). Save it as a document: `create_document(content=<full story>, name='<Title> Story', entity_type='scripts')`.
3. Generate a character reference image (portrait 9:16): `generate_image(model='t2i', prompt=<consistent character description>, orientation='portrait', name='<Character> Reference', entity_type='characters')`. Keep the same face / hairstyle / clothing / age in every later prompt.
4. For each of the 4 scenes (in order):
a. Generate the scene keyframe image (portrait): `generate_image(model='t2i', prompt=<scene + character + environment + lighting>, orientation='portrait', name='Scene N', entity_type='storyboard_images')`.
b. Generate the scene video: `generate_video(model='ref2v', input_urls=[<character ref asset_id>, <scene keyframe asset_id>], prompt=<cinematic motion + camera direction>, orientation='portrait', duration=8, name='Scene N Video', entity_type='storyboard_videos')`.
5. Generate background music: `generate_music(prompt=<cinematic score description matching the mood>, name='<Title> Score', entity_type='music')`.
6. Mix the 4 scene videos in order with the music: `mix_clips(clips=[{video: scene1}, {video: scene2}, {video: scene3}, {video: scene4}, {audio: music}], name='<Title> Final', entity_type='final_videos', orientation='portrait')`.
7. Reply with the story title, a short scene-by-scene summary, and the final video link. Note any duration clamps.
## Notes
- Keep the same character description (face, hairstyle, clothing, body, age) in every image/video prompt — never change outfits or appearance between scenes.
- Keep lighting, weather, time of day, and atmosphere consistent across scenes; only change if the story explains it.
- Camera moves should be slow, smooth, and movie-like (tracking, dolly, crane, orbit, close-up, reveal).
- Video generation does not support NSFW/adult content; decline such requests politely.
- If a generation fails or a duration is clamped, report it honestly and retry once.
