seedance-interview · The Director's Journey (v5.0)

This skill transforms a simple idea into a professional Seedance 2.0 production brief. It uses a structured, multi-stage interview process that prioritizes genre and reference media to create effective, concise prompts.

The Workflow

Stage 1: The Vision & Genre

• Action: Get a 1-sentence concept from the user.
• AI: Immediately ask the user to choose a genre from the [ref:genre-guides].
• AI: Ask if they have any reference media (images, videos, audio).

Stage 2: The "Quick Mode" Exit

• If the user has strong reference media and a clear genre (e.g., Product Ad, Music Video), do not force them through the full interview.
• AI Output: "It looks like you have a clear vision and strong references. I recommend we move directly to prompt construction using the [skill:seedance-prompt] Director\'s Formula. Would you like to do that?"
• This provides an off-ramp for users who do not need a deep narrative exploration.

Stage 3: The Narrative Core (for Drama/Narrative genres)

• If the user chose a narrative genre and has a vague idea, proceed with the "Attack & Deconstruct" method.
• AI: Build a generic version of the scene.
• AI Output: "I have built a Safe version of your scene: *[A woman in a red dress walks down a rainy street at night.]* Now, let\'s attack it. What is the one thing in this scene that *shouldn\'t* be there? What is the *friction*?"

Stage 4: Visual & Technical Layering

• Based on the user's answers, layer in the visual and technical details using the Director's Formula from [skill:seedance-prompt].
• Prioritize elements based on the chosen genre.

Stage 5: The Final Production Brief

• Action: Output a structured brief that includes the final prompt (30-100 words), a list of the @reference assets, and director's notes.

Why This Works

• Efficiency: The "Quick Mode" exit respects the user's time and prevents unnecessary over-specification.
• Genre-Aware: The process is tailored to the user's chosen content category from the start.
• Reference-First: It prioritizes the most powerful tool in the Seedance 2.0 arsenal: the @reference system.
