One generation, fully exposed

Everything in the film starts from the same pieces: two character sheets, one location and a written prompt. Here is a real generation, input to output.

Character turnaround sheet of Manny in a Dominican Republic jersey

Character sheet. He calls the shots.

Character turnaround sheet of Malik in a yellow t-shirt and glasses

Character sheet. He suffers the consequences.

Location reference. Every scene starts here.

The prompt

SHOT 1 — Click. Start on a shot of the man (Manny) in the Dominican jersey, who lifts his arm and snaps his fingers on one hand. SHOT 2 — Payoff. Cut to a shot of the other man (Malik) in the yellow top and glasses, whose outfit instantly turns into a suit made out of raw steaks. He looks to his left and there's a Bengal tiger approaching him. He begins sprinting away yelling "Not cool, bro!"

The output: one generation from the references and prompt above, sound included. See the original post on X

Write your shots

Set up the click, then the payoff. Two shots is all a scene needs, and one generation gives you up to 30 seconds with sound.
