A planning method that turns a script, scene outline, or treatment into a detailed list of shots and production requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define camera positions, shot sizes, movement, lighting, actor and prop continuity, story beats, assets, and prompts for a production.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from deciding how each scene should be filmed or prepared for image and video generation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shotlist-and-visual-breakdown scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

shotlist-and-visual-breakdown

When to use

  • The user asks for a shot list, scene breakdown, storyboard plan, camera plan, production beat map, or asset list.
  • The user provides script pages or a scene outline and wants image/video prompt inputs.
  • The user needs continuity notes for characters, locations, props, wardrobe, blocking, or screen direction.

When not to use

  • The user is still exploring the story premise and has no scene yet.
  • The user only wants model-specific syntax conversion.
  • The user wants a full production budget or call sheet.

Required inputs

  • Scene text or outline
  • Runtime/clip duration target
  • Visual style or genre
  • Continuity bible if available

Optional inputs

  • Target model limits
  • Aspect ratio
  • Location/asset constraints
  • Need for image prompts, video prompts, or both

Workflow

  1. Break the scene into story beats and visual beats.
  2. For each beat, assign shot purpose: geography, emotion, reveal, action, detail, transition, or continuity insert.
  3. Select shot scale, angle, lens feel, camera movement, lighting state, blocking, and production design anchors.
  4. Respect duration math: one clear action per short shot unless the target model supports multi-shot or extension workflows.
  5. Create continuity notes: eye lines, screen direction, wardrobe, prop state, weather, time of day, and emotional state.
  6. Create an asset list for characters, locations, props, costumes, reference images, sound cues, and keyframes.
  7. Prepare handoff rows for image and video prompting.

Decision logic

  • If identity consistency matters, request or generate reference sheet prompts before video prompts.
  • If the scene has complex motion, split into simpler shots rather than one overloaded prompt.
  • If the target model supports first/last frames, mark shots that need keyframes.
  • If dialogue is present, check line length against clip duration.

Output formats

  • Shot list table
  • Camera setup list
  • Scene breakdown
  • Asset list
  • Continuity notes
  • Image/video prompt handoff

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
