Scripts Reference

All scripts live in scripts/ and are invoked via CLI. Run any with --help for full options.

generate_image.py -- Nano Banana 2

# Text-to-image
python scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "A narrow Kyoto street at dusk" --output scene_01.png --aspect 16:9

# With character reference (for consistency across scenes)
python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --prompt "Use the attached reference. Keep facial features identical. [SCENE PROMPT]" \
    --ref refs/character.png \
    --output scene_02.png --aspect 16:9

# Edit existing image (inpainting)
python scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "Remove the person" --edit source.png --output clean.png

# Multiple references
python scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "..." --ref char.png --ref location.png --output scene.png

# Skip if already exists (for batch scripts)
python scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "..." --output scene.png --skip-existing

Model names change frequently. If "model not found", run:

python scripts/list_models.py --filter image

generate_video.py -- Veo 3.1

# Image-to-video (most common for films — storyboard still as first frame)
python scripts/generate_video.py \
    --prompt "Slow dolly forward. Cherry blossoms drift. Ambient: evening crickets, flowing water." \
    --image storyboard/scene_01.png \
    --output clips/scene_01.mp4

# First + last frame interpolation (for transitions with clear start/end states)
python scripts/generate_video.py \
    --prompt "Bird unfolds wings, lifts off workbench" \
    --image storyboard/bird_folded.png \
    --last-frame storyboard/bird_flying.png \
    --output clips/bird.mp4
    # NOTE: automatically switches to full model, duration=8s

# Text-to-video (no reference image)
python scripts/generate_video.py --prompt "A sunset over mountains" --output sunset.mp4

# Higher resolution
python scripts/generate_video.py --prompt "..." --image s.png --output clip.mp4 --resolution 1080p

Two models:

Model	Flag	Cost	Features
Lite	--model lite (default)	Cheap, fast	Image-to-video, text-to-video
Full	--model full	Expensive	+ first+last frame, extensions, refs

Constraints: --last-frame requires full model + duration=8. 1080p/4K require duration=8. Extensions are 720p only.

generate_video_seedance.py -- Seedance 2.0 (BytePlus Ark direct)

# Image-to-video (image auto-uploaded to R2, or pass an already-hosted URL)
python scripts/generate_video_seedance.py \

    --output clips/scene_01.mp4

# Already-hosted image URL
python scripts/generate_video_seedance.py \
    --prompt "..." --image-url https://example.com/img.png --output clip.mp4

# Portrait aspect ratio, longer clip
python scripts/generate_video_seedance.py --prompt "..." --image scene.png --output clip.mp4 \
    --duration 11 --ratio 9:16

Models: full = dreamina-seedance-2-0-260128 (quality). fast = dreamina-seedance-2-0-fast-260128 (drafts). API: POST to https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/v3/contents/generations/tasks, then poll /tasks/{id} until status=succeeded. Script handles polling automatically.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Seedance blocks photorealistic human faces. Error: content policy violation. Workarounds:

• Use 3D / Pixar-style characters (these pass the filter)
• Use product-only shots (no faces)
• Use texture/detail close-ups
• Switch to LTX 2.3 or Veo for photorealistic face shots

Film Production Workflow

Step 1: Script & Scene Breakdown

Write the narration script. Break into scenes with timestamps, camera directions, and VO lines.

Define two types of lock blocks -- identical text descriptions copy-pasted into every relevant prompt:

Character Lock Block -- one per recurring character:

TAKESHI (old) -- Elderly Japanese man, late 70s, thin white hair swept back,
wire-rimmed round spectacles, gentle weathered face. Worn dark brown wool vest
over cream linen shirt, leather work apron with tool pockets.

Set Lock Block -- one per recurring location:

WORKSHOP -- Traditional Japanese clock repair workshop. Wooden workbench against
back wall, single oil lamp on left side of bench. Walls floor-to-ceiling with
clocks: 3 grandfather clocks on the left, rows of pendulum clocks above the bench,
pocket watches on hooks to the right. Wooden stool. Scattered brass gears, tweezers,
magnifying loupe on the bench surface. Small mechanical brass bird near the right
edge of the workbench.

Step 2: Reference Images (Characters + Sets)

Generate references for BOTH characters AND locations. This is how you maintain visual consistency across scenes.

Character references -- 1:1 portraits, clean background:

python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --prompt "Character reference sheet. Front-facing portrait of: [CHARACTER LOCK BLOCK]. Simple neutral background. Clear lighting. Keep facial features exactly the same." \
    --output refs/character.png --aspect 1:1

Set references -- the key locations from specific angles:

# Wide reference of the full set
python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --prompt "[STYLE BLOCK] [SET LOCK BLOCK]. Wide establishing shot showing the full room layout. Clear lighting to show all details. This is a set reference for animation -- every object position must be remembered." \
    --output refs/workshop_wide.png --aspect 16:9

# Close-up reference of important surfaces (tables, desks, dashboards)
python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --prompt "[STYLE BLOCK] Close-up of the workbench surface from [SET LOCK BLOCK]. Show exact tool layout: oil lamp on left, scattered gears in center, magnifying loupe, tweezers, small brass bird near right edge. This is a prop reference -- object positions must stay consistent." \
    --output refs/workbench_closeup.png --aspect 16:9

Review and approve ALL references before generating any scene stills.

Step 3: Storyboard Stills

Generate a still for each scene, passing BOTH character ref AND set ref:

# Scene in workshop with character -- pass BOTH refs
python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --prompt "Use the attached references for character and set. Keep character features and room layout identical to the references. [STYLE BLOCK] [CHARACTER LOCK BLOCK] [SET LOCK BLOCK] [SCENE DESCRIPTION]" \
    --ref refs/character.png \
    --ref refs/workshop_wide.png \
    --output storyboard/scene_02.png --aspect 16:9

# Close-up scene -- pass workbench ref
python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --prompt "Use the attached reference for the workbench layout. Keep all object positions identical. [STYLE BLOCK] [SET LOCK BLOCK] [SCENE DESCRIPTION]" \
    --ref refs/workbench_closeup.png \
    --output storyboard/scene_03.png --aspect 16:9

# Scene in a different location (no set ref needed, just character)
python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --prompt "Use the attached reference for the character. [STYLE BLOCK] [CHARACTER LOCK BLOCK] [SCENE DESCRIPTION]" \
    --ref refs/character.png \
    --output storyboard/scene_06.png --aspect 16:9

Consistency checklist before approving stills:

• Same face across all scenes with that character?
• Same room layout in all workshop scenes?
• Same objects on the workbench in every close-up?
• Props introduced in earlier scenes still present in later ones?
• Lighting consistent within the same time-of-day?

Do not generate video until ALL stills are reviewed and approved.

Step 4: Video Clips

For each scene, choose the right method:

Scene Type	Method	Command
Single continuous action	Image-to-video	--image scene.png
Clear start/end transformation	First+last frame	--image start.png --last-frame end.png
No reference needed	Text-to-video	Just --prompt

# Most scenes: image-to-video
python scripts/generate_video.py \
    --prompt "[CAMERA] + [ACTION] + [LIGHTING] + [AUDIO DIRECTION]" \
    --image storyboard/scene_01.png \
    --output clips/scene_01.mp4

# Transformation scenes: first+last frame
python scripts/generate_video.py \
    --prompt "Smooth transition, wings unfold..." \
    --image storyboard/bird_start.png \
    --last-frame storyboard/bird_end.png \
    --output clips/bird.mp4

Step 5: Audio

Generate voiceover, music, and SFX as separate files:

# Voiceover (full narration or per-scene segments)
python scripts/generate_tts.py --file script.txt --output audio/narration.mp3 --speed 0.9

# Background music
python scripts/generate_music.py --prompt "..." --duration 120 --output audio/score.mp3

# SFX per scene
python scripts/generate_sfx.py --text "Clock ticking" --duration 10 --output audio/sfx/ticking.mp3

Step 6: Assemble

python scripts/assemble.py \
    --videos-dir clips/ \
    --narration audio/narration.mp3 \
    --music audio/score.mp3 \
    --sfx "audio/sfx/ticking.mp3:0:0.08" \
    --output final/film.mp4

Step 7: Review & Iterate

Watch the film. Identify gaps:

• Missing transitions -- generate additional clips or extend scenes
• Pacing issues -- re-generate VO segments with different speed
• Audio mix -- adjust volumes in assemble.py
• Character drift -- regenerate stills with character reference images
• Set drift -- regenerate stills with set reference images
• Prop continuity -- check objects don't appear/disappear between scenes

---

Visual Consistency Rules

These are hard-learned lessons. Follow them or the film will look like unrelated images stitched together.

Three Layers of Consistency

Layer	What it means	How to enforce
Character	Same face, hair, clothes, build across all scenes	Character ref image + Character Lock Block in every prompt
Set/Location	Same room layout, wall decorations, furniture positions	Set ref image + Set Lock Block in every prompt
Props	Objects don't teleport, appear, or vanish between shots	Workbench ref image + explicit prop descriptions

Reference Image Strategy

For a film with one main location and one character, you need at minimum:

refs/
  character_front.png      # 1:1 portrait, clean background
  location_wide.png        # 16:9 wide shot of the full set
  location_detail.png      # 16:9 close-up of key surface (desk, workbench)

For each scene, pass ALL relevant refs:

# Workshop scene with character = character ref + location ref (up to 4 refs total)
python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --ref refs/character.png --ref refs/location_wide.png \
    --prompt "..." --output scene.png

# Close-up of table/hands = workbench detail ref
python scripts/generate_image.py \
    --ref refs/location_detail.png \
    --prompt "..." --output scene.png

Common Continuity Mistakes

Mistake	Example	Fix
Table changes between shots	Scene 2 has cluttered bench, scene 3 has clean bench	Use same workbench reference for both
Object appears from nowhere	Mechanical bird wasn't on table in earlier scenes	Include the bird in the Set Lock Block from scene 1
Room layout changes	Clocks on left wall in one shot, right wall in next	Use same wide room reference for all workshop scenes
Lighting direction flips	Window on left in scene 2, on right in scene 4	Specify window position in Set Lock Block
Character outfit changes	Vest in one scene, no vest in next	Always include full outfit in Character Lock Block
Color palette drifts	Scene 2 is blue-cool, scene 4 is warm-amber for same room	Specify the palette in the Set Lock Block

The Set Lock Block Pattern

A Set Lock Block works exactly like a Character Lock Block -- identical text copy-pasted into every prompt for that location:

WORKSHOP -- Traditional Japanese clock repair workshop interior. Single room.
LAYOUT: Wooden workbench against the back wall, centered. Single oil lamp on
the LEFT side of the workbench. Wooden stool in front of the bench.
WALLS: Floor-to-ceiling clocks -- three tall grandfather clocks on the LEFT wall,
rows of smaller pendulum clocks ABOVE the workbench, pocket watches on hooks
to the RIGHT of the bench. Wooden shelves with tools on the far right.
WORKBENCH SURFACE: Scattered brass gears, fine tweezers, small screwdrivers,
a magnifying loupe, a small mechanical brass bird sitting near the RIGHT edge.
WINDOW: Single window on the LEFT wall, above the grandfather clocks.
LIGHTING: Single oil lamp on workbench provides the only warm light.
Rest of the room in cool shadows.

Key details to lock:

• LEFT/RIGHT positions of major objects (window, lamp, door)
• What's on surfaces (specific props, their positions)
• What's on walls (arrangement of decorations)
• Light source positions
• Floor material, ceiling height, room shape

---

Prompting Cheat Sheet

Images (Nano Banana 2)

[Subject + Adjectives] + [Action] + [Location] + [Composition/Camera] + [Style]

Write like briefing an artist. Full sentences, not keywords. Be specific about materials and lighting. See reference/nano-banana.md.

Video (Veo 3.1)

[Cinematography] + [Subject] + [Action] + [Context] + [Style & Ambiance]
[Audio direction: Ambient/SFX/Dialogue]

ONE camera movement per clip. Name physical light sources. Front-load what matters most. Keep under 175 words. See reference/veo.md.

Video (LTX 2.3)

[Shot Establishment] + [Scene Setting] + [Action Sequence] + [Character Definition] + [Camera Movement] + [Audio Description]

Write as single flowing paragraph in present tense. LTX responds best to long, detailed prompts — match prompt length to clip duration. For image-to-video, focus on motion not appearance (image defines the look). Break dialogue into short phrases with acting directions. Include audio descriptions ("sound of rain," "soft piano"). See reference/ltx.md.

Key differences from Veo:

• Longer prompts = better (Veo: under 175 words. LTX: more = better)
• Duration up to 20s (Veo: max 8s)
• Describe audio explicitly (Veo: built-in)
• No face blocking (Seedance blocks faces)
• Use physical emotion cues, never abstract labels ("sad" -> "eyes downcast, shoulders slumped")

Lock Blocks (copy-paste into EVERY relevant prompt)

Character Lock Block:

MAREN -- Nordic woman, early 30s, blonde hair in low messy bun, fair complexion,
high cheekbones, light blue-grey eyes. Dark charcoal wool cardigan over cream shirt,
dark indigo jeans, brown leather boots. Gold locket necklace.

Set Lock Block:

CABIN -- Small wooden cabin interior. Stone fireplace on LEFT wall, crackling fire.
Oak desk CENTERED against back wall with typewriter, stack of letters, oil lamp.
Window on RIGHT wall showing snowy forest. Braided rug on wooden floor.
Bookshelves flanking the fireplace.

Error Recovery

Problem	Fix
Model not found	python scripts/list_models.py -- names change frequently
No image in response	Check prompt isn't triggering safety filter
Character drifts between scenes	Use --ref with same character ref image every time
Set/room changes between scenes	Use --ref with same location ref image every time
Props appear/disappear	Include all props in Set Lock Block from the first scene
Veo audio sounds random	Always include Ambient: or SFX: in video prompt
Video jitter	Convert VFR to CFR: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -r 24 -vsync cfr out.mp4
ElevenLabs music TOS error	Remove artist/brand names, describe style only
generate_audio not supported	AI Studio doesn't support this param -- audio is always on
first+last frame fails on lite	Script auto-switches to full model
Color palette drifts across scenes	Specify exact palette in each prompt, say "NOT orange" etc
