Initialise a new film production from an idea — refresh live pricing, run the intake interview including budget and quality tier, produce a costed plan, and scaffold only after approval. Trigger - /film-setup, once at the start of a new film.
Re-measure every model's live credit cost and rewrite the cost matrix. MANDATORY at the start of every new film project, before quoting or planning. Trigger - /pricing-refresh, or automatically as the first step of film-setup.
Cut, grade, title and master the film locally with ffmpeg — zero credits. Trigger - /assembly, after all clips render and before qc-gate.
Extract real brand assets to clean alpha for post compositing instead of letting a model draw them. Trigger - /brand-lock, during pre-production before keyframes.
Render approved keyframes into video clips at the tier each shot actually needs. Trigger - /clip-render, ONLY after storyboard-review has recorded keyframes_approved.
Turn a vague idea into a defensible creative brief with one truthful promise, a signature visual device, and an explicit audience. Trigger - /concept-brief, first creative step after film-setup.
Price a batch before submitting it, using live `higgsfield generate cost` preflight rather than remembered numbers. Trigger - /cost-estimate, before every generation batch and whenever a budget is questioned.
Generate one still per shot at 2k with locked identity and brand references, before any video exists. Trigger - /keyframe-generate, after the script is locked and before clip-render.
