AI Video Shot Prompts: 6-12 Consistent Clips + QA
Turn a short script into 6-12 consistent AI-video clip prompts with an anchor block, four blind reviewers and a regenerate-first list. Video Shot Prompt + Continuity Planner turns a short story, script or scene list for an AI-generated short video into 6-12 clip prompts you can paste into any image-to-video or text-to-video tool, and checks them before you spend credits. It plans and QAs the shots; it does not make the video.
Example input
[HAND-WRITTEN FICTIONAL SAMPLE - invented for testing.] Please plan the shots for my AI short "The Last Jar". Target 36 seconds, vertical 9:16, soft clay-like 3D cartoon style. Story: (1) A single bee lands on an amber honey jar. (2) Ilsa Moravec, 34, a beekeeper on a rooftop in a made-up city, gets a storm warning on her phone and lifts a hive box. (3) The storm hits and the swarm bursts out of the third hive. (4) She chases the swarm across the rooftops into the park. (5) In the park she hums and the swarm settles on a branch. (6) At dawn she hands the jar, labelled "LAST JAR", to her neighbor Teodor on his balcony. Voice-over comes later.
Example output
The Last Jar | soft clay-like 3D cartoon, 9:16 | 6 shots | planned 36s vs target 36s | READY TO GENERATE (after the 5 revisions below) ## Essentials - Story beats (6): bee on the jar; Ilsa checks the storm warning and lifts a hive; swarm escapes in the storm; she chases it over rooftops to a park; she calms it; dawn hand-over of the jar to Teodor. - Target runtime: 36 s. Format: 9:16 vertical. Style: soft clay-like 3D cartoon. Voice-over and captions to be added in the edit. - Character: Ilsa Moravec, age 34, beekeeper (fictional city). One-shot character: Teodor (S06). - Clip length limit: 4-8 s `DEFAULT-ASSUMED`. Shot count 6 (36 / 6 = 6 s average). `(assumed)`: Ilsa's trousers and boots colors, the jar's size, the park's look. - All essentials present, so no questions asked. ## Anchor block Ilsa Moravec, age 34, warm brown skin, sturdy build, short curly black hair, freckled face; mustard-yellow canvas jacket with patched left elbow, dark green trousers, brown boots; small amber glass jar with cork lid; rooftop apiary with three white hives above a fictional rain-washed city; soft dusk light; palette mustard, slate blue, forest green, amber; soft clay-like 3D cartoon. May change on purpose: lighting and weather (S02-S06), location (park in S05, balcony in S06), Teodor appears only in S06. ## Shot table (v1) | Shot | Purpose | Camera (size/angle/move) | Action | Sec | Start from | Ends on | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | S01 | hook | extreme close-up / eye-level / static | A single honeybee lands on the cork lid of the amber jar and walks across it; Ilsa is out of frame. | 4 | text-to-video | bee resting on cork lid | | S02 | establish | medium / eye-level / slow push-in | Ilsa glances at her phone, then lifts a hive box with both hands. | 6 | image-to-video from approved key image of Ilsa on the roof | Ilsa holding hive box, looking up | | S03 | reveal | wide / top-down / static | The swarm bursts from the third hive and spirals into the sky as rain begins; Ilsa stands small at the edge of the frame. | 6 | text-to-video | swarm spiralling above rooftops | | S04 | action | wide / eye-level / tracking | Ilsa runs across rooftops and down into a city park, following the swarm. | 7 | image-to-video from last frame of S03 | Ilsa entering the park gate | | S05 | payoff | medium / low / slow push-in | In the park, Ilsa hums with open arms while the swarm settles on a tree branch. | 6 | image-to-video from last frame of S04 | bees settled on the branch | …
