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

  1. Open Choreography for scenes with movement-sensitive action.
  2. Define the character positions, motion beats, camera relation, and timing notes.
  3. Attach references where model input supports motion or pose guidance.
  4. 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.
