Your AI Director isn't a tool you operate — it's a creative partner you work with. They handle story development, shot planning, generation, and editing, guided by your feedback at every stage. Behind them sits your VIP Production Team, matching you with the right Director and stepping in whenever you need them.
This isn't self-serve. It's a real collaboration — and how you show up in it shapes how fast, and how well, your film comes together. Here's how to make it work.
Seven Ground Rules
Be kind and respectful. The same courtesy you'd want back is the baseline for a good working relationship.
Remember there's a creative person behind the work. Your Director is pouring real effort into your vision. Mistakes happen — treat them with the grace you'd want if the roles were reversed.
Learn each other's availability. Calling and voice notes are coming directly to the platform. Until then, share your online hours with your Director — and learn theirs — to keep back-and-forth moving.
Respond quickly. Your Director often can't move forward without your answer to a specific question. Fast replies keep production moving; slow ones create costly idle time.
Be direct. Sharing three options and saying "pick whichever" slows things down. Tell your Director exactly what you want, or explicitly hand them the call — "surprise me" works. Ambiguity just adds stress and delay.
Match your feedback to the stage. Each Production Stage has a specific review scope. On-topic feedback moves fast and free; notes on something already locked become a Change Order.
Show, don't just tell. Comp films, reference titles, mood boards, music you like — worth more than paragraphs of description. If you have an example, share it.
Working Stage by Stage
Pre-Production (Director's Notes)
Share every reference you have up front — images, style boards, voice samples. This is the cheapest, fastest stage to change a character, prop, location, tone, or look. Once approved, it locks for the rest of production, so consolidate your feedback here.
Shotlist
Read the scene order and pacing carefully — your last real chance to add, cut, or reorder scenes, or adjust wardrobe and set design before generation starts. If the flow feels off, say so now.
First Cut Delivery
Focus on execution: performance, camera angles, pacing, sync, color, music, captions. Point to specific timestamps. Save "I want a new scene" for the Shotlist stage — story changes here can trigger a Change Order.
Final Cut Delivery
Same lens as First Cut — a polish pass, not a redesign pass. Character, location, and story should already feel locked in. Use this round for last-mile notes.
Final Approval & Delivery
Once you approve, files release on final payment and the project is complete — no revision round left, so make sure your Final Cut notes were the ones that mattered most.
The better we work together, the better your film turns out — and the faster it gets there. Questions any time: [email protected]
