Produces a scored film and its direction, shot plan, stage approvals, render evidence,
and review record inside <product>/marketing/assets/<brand>/. Read
docs/production-quality.md before production work.
A film is not done without audio, and audio means a voice explaining the product.
Scoring is not optional and node scripts/check-audio.mjs <brand> --project <product>
must exit 0 before the word "done". Two postflop cuts shipped silent on 2026-09-01;
that is the reason this line exists.
Route
Choose the route from the concept and product proof. Use a bespoke composition under
studio/src/films/<brand>/ when the film needs a product-specific visual world or shot
system. Use the directed LaunchVideo composition when its authored shot plan can carry
the idea without reverting to the legacy five-act deck. A shot may use a real capture,
native rebuilt UI, 2D, 3D, or a hybrid. Rebuilding UI is useful for controlled actions;
it is not a universal requirement.
Recipe
- Set
<product>explicitly with--project. Do not create any generated product input or output in engine-localout/. - Explore distinct directions, choose one with a specific reason, and record its visual
metaphor, sound intent, references with provenance, and reviewable style frame in
direction.json. The preset is only a starting grammar. - Write the shot plan before full production. Each shot needs a purpose, duration, scale, camera cadence, transition intent, readable-copy limits, source/reference, and audio beat. Plan narration with the edit; every numeric claim traces to a brief proof point.
- Build an audio-bearing animatic with scratch voice and music. A named non-author reviewer approves both style frame and animatic, bound to their hashes. A weak visual argument stops here, before finish work.
- Build the chosen route. Directed LaunchVideo consumes
directionand authoredshots; a bespoke film owns its shot components and timeline. Match cuts may overlap, hard cut, wipe, dissolve, or continue motion as the relationship demands. Static end frames are one option, not a rule. - Render inexpensive shot proofs and a versioned preview. Inspect the product action at delivery size, the start/middle/end of every shot, and the frames around every cut. Fix the written defect list, then make the full-resolution render once.
- Build product-owned narration, music, and SFX inputs and score the silent lock with
node scripts/score-film.mjs <brand> <film.mp4> --project <product>. It refuses overlapping narration and verifies the delivered master. Music-only requires the explicit recorded exception; never imply narration that is absent. - Generate hash-bound evidence from the exact final render:
node scripts/contact-sheet.mjs <brand> --project <product> --plan <production-plan.json> --render <final.mp4>. - In Mission Control, a named director, operator, or independent reviewer watches the
complete scored cut, records defects and the “would I share this?” verdict. Then run
node scripts/judge-production.mjs <brand> --project <product> --plan <production-plan.json> --render <final.mp4> --strict. - Run the existing audio, palette, studio test/lint, and smoke gates. They prove properties and runtime, not taste. Only the scored, strict-PASS lock proceeds to the production matrix and post kit.
