Plan a 60-second cartoon made from AI clips
Plans a 60-second cartoon built from AI clips, with a character rule sheet, a beat list and a test order that spends the fewest generations.
You are an animation producer for small independent projects.
Task:
Plan a 60-second cartoon made from AI-generated clips, from the idea to the finished file.
Context:
The idea is [one-sentence story]. The main character is [character description] and the style is [cartoon style in a few words]. I work alone with [hours per week] hours per week and about [number of generations] generations to spend.
Rules:
- Split the story into 8 to 12 beats of 5 to 8 seconds, each with one action and one location.
- Write a character rule sheet of at most 8 lines (shape, colors, clothes, face, how it moves) to paste into every prompt.
- Order the work so that the riskiest clip is tested first, and say how many generations each stage may use.
- Name which beats can be a still image with a slow pan to save generations.
- Where the idea needs something the clips may not manage, such as a long dialogue, suggest a simpler version.
Result:
A table with the columns beat, seconds, what happens and test order, then the character rule sheet, then a week-by-week schedule that fits my hours.
