Building a cinematic shot list with Claude
Claude
Demo summary
The creator demonstrates uploading a custom 'skill' zip file to Claude to generate a detailed shot list and style prefix for an AI film project.
Step-by-step
- Click Customize in Claude
- Select Create new skills and click the plus button
- Upload the provided custom skill zip file
- Invoke the skill in a new chat by typing 'short list builder'
- Upload the script for the scenes you are working on
- Provide context to Claude specifying which scenes to include or skip
- Copy the style prefix from your asset canvas
- Paste the style prefix into the Claude chat and run the prompt
Options
- Skip specific scenes by mentioning them in the context prompt
Watch out for
- Kling 2.0 only provides one audio track, making it difficult to separate music from dialogue in post-production
Tips
- Define lighting, color, and composition in a style prefix to ensure consistency across large teams
- Specify 'natural light only' or specific light sources like windows to maintain visual style
- Instruct the AI to include only environmental sound effects and no music or subtitles to simplify editing
- Add your own music during the final edit rather than during AI generation
