Choreography
Prep page for movement, action, blocking, and performance references before shot or video generation.
Purpose
Choreography captures movement intent that is easy to lose in static prompts: blocking, action beats, body position, camera relation, and continuity between shots.
Inputs
- Scene breakdowns: source for action and continuity context.
- Shot list: useful once camera and shot intent exist.
- Human or generative performances: can provide motion or voice context for later generation.
Workflow
- Open Choreography for scenes with movement-sensitive action.
- Define the character positions, motion beats, camera relation, and timing notes.
- Attach references where model input supports motion or pose guidance.
- Use the notes when generating storyboards, performance clips, or video-to-video transforms.
Best Practices
- Separate what the actor does from what the camera does.
- Keep action beats short enough to map to individual shots or short generated clips.
- Use references for pose or movement only when they improve clarity; irrelevant references can confuse generation.
Controls and Functions
| Control | Function | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Scene selector | Chooses the scene or beat that needs movement planning. | Use for action-heavy or blocking-sensitive sequences. |
| Movement description fields | Capture body position, action beats, camera relation, and timing. | Separate performer action from camera movement. |
| Reference picker | Attaches pose, motion, or action references from project assets. | Use only references that clarify movement. |
| Shot handoff notes | Prepare movement details for shot lists, storyboards, and video prompts. | Keep notes short enough to map to individual shots. |
| Save/update | Stores choreography notes against the project or scene. | Review before video generation or performance transfer. |
