STEP BY STEP
Run the workflow.
Work in sequence and keep each intermediate artifact. Review the result at every stage before spending time on the next one.
- 01
Lock the brief
Define audience, message, tone, duration, format and the one action the viewer should take. Approve this before generating frames.
- 02
Build a reference kit
Create consistent character, location, product and palette references. Name and approve the assets that every shot must reuse.
- 03
Design the shot system
Write each shot as subject, action, environment, camera, light and duration. Generate keyframes before spending time on motion.
- 04
Animate selectively
Test low-cost motion first, then render only approved shots at final quality. Keep prompts and settings beside each asset.
- 05
Edit for continuity
Assemble picture, sound, titles and transitions in an editor. Review identity, direction of movement, pacing and legal clearance.
