Muapi AI Fight Scene

AI Fight Scene Generator

Generate a high-cut-density action / fight scene by first composing a 16-cell storyboard image, then driving Seedance 2.0 image-to-video off that storyboard.

The core idea: action tension comes from cut density, not single-shot quality. Forcing the video model to follow a pre-drawn 4×4 storyboard grid gives you 16 distinct shots in a 15-second clip — landing punches, reverse angles, ECUs, whip-pans — that no t2v prompt could choreograph on its own.

Inputs

Steps

Phase A — Character Sheet

Generate a clean turnaround-style character sheet using muapi image generate (model=gpt-image-2-text-to-image):

• Prompt: Character reference sheet of {{character_description}}. Three views — front, 3/4, profile — on a neutral grey backdrop. Studio lighting, full body, no text overlays, photoreal. Asymmetric identifying details preserved on the correct side. {{style_direction}}.
• Aspect ratio: 3:2

Present the character sheet and confirm identity details look right before proceeding. This image becomes reference #1 for later phases.

Phase B — Environment Concept

Use muapi image generate (model=nano-banana-2) to design the scene/world:

• Prompt: Wide establishing shot of {{environment_description}}. No characters in frame — environment only. Strong perspective lines, depth, atmospheric haze. {{style_direction}}. Production-design concept art.
• Aspect ratio: {{aspect_ratio}}

Nano-Banana-2 is chosen here for its reasoning-driven composition — it's better than text-to-image-only models at producing locations with believable spatial logic (chokepoints, cover, sightlines) that an action scene can use. Present for approval. This becomes reference #2.

Phase C — 16-Cell Storyboard

Compose the action onto a single 4×4 storyboard image using muapi image edit (model=gpt-image-2-image-to-image):

• Reference Images: the character sheet from Phase A and the environment plate from Phase B.
• Prompt:

  Compose a 4×4 storyboard grid (16 numbered cells) for the following action sequence:
  {{action_script}}
  
  CHARACTER (use reference image 1 identity throughout, asymmetric details preserved):
  {{character_description}}
  
  LOCATION (use reference image 2 spatial layout):
  {{environment_description}}
  
  Each cell labels: SHOT # (1–16) · SIZE (WIDE / MS / CU / ECU) · CAMERA-MOVE arrow (push, pull, whip, dolly, crash-zoom, handheld) · 1-word RHYTHM note (BEAT / IMPACT / RECOVERY / RESET).
  
  Vary shot size aggressively — never two WIDEs in a row. Land every IMPACT on a CU or ECU.
  Hand-drawn comic-book ink-and-wash style, monochrome with selective red accents on hits.
  Numbered cells, clear gutters between panels.
  
  Aesthetic: {{style_direction}}.
  

• Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square works best for a 4×4 grid)

Present the storyboard to the user. Confirm:

• The 16 shots read clearly
• Identity stays consistent cell-to-cell
• Cut density / shot-size variation looks aggressive enough

If a panel reads poorly, regenerate just the storyboard with that cell's note bolded ("CELL 7 must be an ECU on the right fist").

Phase D — Storyboard → Video (Seedance 2.0)

Hand the storyboard to muapi video from-image (model=seedance-v2.0-i2v):

• Reference Image: the 16-cell storyboard from Phase C.
• Prompt:

  Generate a {{duration}}-second action sequence that strictly follows the 16-cell storyboard reference image, cell-by-cell, top-left to bottom-right.
  
  - Honour each cell's labelled SHOT SIZE and CAMERA-MOVE — match cuts to the storyboard's rhythm notes.
  - Strong cinematic feel and shot language. Exaggerated dynamics. Hits land hard with motion blur and impact frames.
  - Camera language: anamorphic, handheld where the storyboard calls for it, locked-off where it doesn't.
  - Native audio: impact sfx on every IMPACT cell, footsteps, fabric/Foley, restrained low score under the action.
  
  Action being rendered: {{action_script}}.
  Aesthetic: {{style_direction}}.
  

• Duration: {{duration}} (default 15)
• Aspect ratio: {{aspect_ratio}}

After generation, present the final video. If the cut density feels too low or shots don't match the storyboard, regenerate Phase D first (cheaper than rebuilding the storyboard) with the prompt emphasising "strict cell-by-cell adherence" more aggressively.

Notes

• Why the storyboard image and not a text storyboard? Seedance 2.0 i2v anchors its motion plan to the visual reference. A grid of 16 drawn cells gives it 16 visual targets to hit — text descriptions of shots get averaged into mush.
• Asymmetric character details matter. Without something like "scar over the right eyebrow" or "leather glove on the left hand only", identity drift between cells is the #1 failure mode.
• Use seedance-2.0-i2v-480p to draft. Cheaper preview pass before committing to the full-res seedance-v2.0-i2v run.
• For longer fights, chain two runs: first run uses storyboard A (cells 1–16, beats 1–15s); second run uses storyboard B (cells 17–32, beats 15–30s) with the last cell of A as a continuity anchor in B's first cell.
• Language: Both English and Chinese prompts work in all four models, so the storyboard cell labels can be in either language.

Notes for the Executing Agent

• This recipe is LLM-orchestrated: read each phase, gather any missing inputs from the user, then call muapi CLI commands. Use muapi auth configure first if MUAPI_API_KEY is unset.
• For model IDs without a CLI alias yet, fall back to the raw endpoint via curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/<endpoint> -H "x-api-key: $MUAPI_API_KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{...}' and poll with muapi predict wait <request_id>.
• Phase C uses TWO reference images (character sheet + environment plate). When calling gpt-image-2-image-to-image, pass them as a list under images_list (or the model's documented multi-ref field).
• Substitute {{input_name}} placeholders with the user's actual inputs before issuing each call.
