# AI Film Production Build a narrative short from a premise. Two stages: **generation** (paid, slow) and **post-production** (free, fast, endlessly re-runnable). Keeping them in separate scripts is the most important structural decision here — subtitles, transitions, fonts, score and mixing get re-run dozens of times without spending again. ``` shots_<project>.py scenes: shot design, identity, props, audio rules, dialogue check_script.py lints the shot script against this catalogue free generate.py → out_<project>/*.mp4 paid, ~20–35 min for 12 shots audit_faces.py → audit_<project>/*.png face verification, free finish.py → concat → subtitles → score → mix → final.mp4 free ``` Copy `templates/` into a working directory, then `cp shots_template.py shots_<project>.py` and edit that. Every other script is generic and routes by `--project <name>`. Run `check_script.py` before spending anything. --- ## The one rule everything else follows from **The model executes descriptions. It does not execute negations. And it fills every space you leave it.** Nine times out of ten a defect is fixed by *changing what you described*, not by adding another "NO …". Measured, repeatedly: | Defect | Adding a negative | Changing the description | |---|---|---| | Extras appearing on a small boat | failed twice — "NO other passengers, NO crowd, NO boatman" | fixed first try — "shoot the whole boat bow to stern so the people can be counted" |
