creativeclawco Plan Video
Read shared execution guidance once per task before using tools. It covers existing authorization, model discovery, optional cost checks, imports, and recovery.
Convert a concept into an execution-ready video plan before spending on clips. This skill stops at an approved plan or storyboard unless the user also asks for production.
Plan the story
- Define objective, audience, channel, aspect ratio, target runtime, brand, required Characters or products, audio approach, and call to action.
- Write a concise beat outline and script. Prefer a clear opening hook, progression, payoff, and ending.
- Break the piece into shots. Each shot gets one primary action, one camera idea, a start state, end state, dialogue or narration, and a model-supported duration.
- Choose likely models with
list_modelsand inspect them withget_model_params. Duration and reference limits are per model; never impose a universal clip length.
Write the plan in the user's language and preserve approved dialogue or on-screen copy exactly.
Build the storyboard
For a visual storyboard request, create the needed artifacts with creativeclaw-generate-image. A text-only plan does not require images; reuse approved frames and skip duplicate review boards when unnecessary:
- A review board or contact sheet for fast approval of composition, pacing, and continuity.
- One clean, text-free image per approved shot for use as a video start frame. Do not feed a labeled grid or multi-panel board to a video model as the shot reference.
Preserve Character identity, product geometry, wardrobe, palette, screen direction, time of day, and recurring locations across frames. Use Nano Banana 2 by default because it is the cost-efficient image model for most storyboard work.
Optional Film project
If the user intends to continue into production, call create_film_project and persist the approved shots with update_film_project. Use stable shot IDs and the actual tool fields: description, prompt, narration, storyboardUrl, durationS, model, and status. Set the project to script_ok only after script approval and storyboard_ok only after storyboard approval.
Approval gate
Present the requested plan/storyboard and honor review stages and existing approval. Planning alone does not authorize video generation. When production is also requested and its applicable stage is approved, continue with creativeclaw-build-film without asking the same question again.
