See It In Action

Watch your Mind turn a scene description into a finished cinematic clip.

2

What You Need Before You Start

  • A scene: characters, setting, mood, and target length
  • A style direction: Hollywood, Anime, or Asian Film
3

What Your Mind Can Do

  • Scene briefs: turns your plain-language description into a structured brief with mood, setting, and subject
  • Director Persona: applies a chosen cinematic style (Hollywood, Anime, Asian Film) to all framing and composition decisions
  • Shot list: drafts a multi-shot breakdown with camera moves and timing before generation starts
  • Video refinement loop: proposes tighter compositions and variations so you iterate before committing to generation
  • Clip generation: produces the video from the approved shot list and describes what was generated

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Equip the Skill

Message your Mind and send the prompt below. It installs the High-Fidelity Minds Video Production skill and confirms the pipeline is ready.

Sample prompt: "Equip skill ID F1E1443E-F36B-1410-8462-00039CE7DF11. Confirm you understand the video pipeline."

Step 2: Write a Scene Brief

Describe what, where, mood, and target length. Your Mind returns a structured brief — review it before moving to the shot list.

Sample prompt: "Write a one-paragraph brief for a 10-second clip: neon Hong Kong rooftop, rain, masked heroine stepping into a puddle, city lights reflected. Mood: tense but hopeful."

Step 3: Pick a Director Persona

Choose the persona that matches your output style. Your Mind applies it to all framing and composition decisions from this point.

PersonaUse for
Hollywood — polished, dramatic camera movementTrailers, product reveals, epic character beats
Anime — expressive, dynamic anglesAction, fantasy, character-driven stories
Asian Film — atmospheric, sense of placeIntimate drama, moody city or nature scenes

Sample prompt: "Use the Anime Director Persona. Expressive close-ups, dramatic lighting, cyberpunk shonen style."

Step 4: Build the Shot List

Send this prompt to get a full shot-by-shot breakdown before anything is generated. Review and adjust before moving on.

Sample prompt: "Draft a shot list for a 12-second clip: 3–4 shots, camera moves, timing. Then propose one tighter version with stronger composition."

Step 5: Generate and Iterate

Once the shot list is approved, send the generation prompt. Your Mind describes what it produced and suggests two variations to try next.

Sample prompt: "Generate the clip from our shot list. Describe what you produced and suggest two variations to try next."

Ongoing Management

Use these prompt patterns to get stronger results on every clip.

Weak promptStrong prompt
"Make a fight scene.""15-second Hollywood fight, rainy Tokyo street at night. Two fighters, handheld cam, neon signs flicker, rain sprays on each hit. End: slow push-in on winner breathing hard."
"Show my character.""20-second intro using my uploaded character ref. Back view on rooftop at dawn, slow turn to camera, close-up on eyes as city lights flare."
