Short Film Maker

Turn text, images, or conversations into cinematic videos

Short Film Maker turns text, images, and conversations into cinematic short videos. Describe a scene, drop in two keyframe images, or paste a conversation — and get back a rendered video with real cinematography, lighting, and motion.

It's not a slideshow generator. It produces actual cinematic footage: POV shots, dramatic reveals, renovation timelapses, animated album art, movie title sequences, and product explosion videos. Each skill is built for a specific type of film moment.

What you can do

  • Turn a conversation or script into a cinematic scene with a genre of your choice
  • Generate a first-person POV video from any description
  • Create a dramatic reveal between two images
  • Animate a before/after renovation with a timelapse effect
  • Build a seamlessly looping ambient video
  • Animate an album cover into motion
  • Generate a cinematic title sequence with text and style
  • Interpolate two keyframe images into a smooth video clip
  • Create a product explosion or showcase video
  • Generate movie poster images and next-scene frame sequences

Who it's for

Content creators and filmmakers who want cinematic output without a production team. Musicians and artists who need animated visuals. Brands building short-form video content. Anyone who wants to go from idea to video in under two minutes.

How to use it

  1. For a scripted scene, use messages_to_scene — paste a conversation or script and pick a genre
  2. For a single visual, use pov_scene with a description of what the camera sees
  3. For two images, use dramatic_reveal or frames_to_video to interpolate between them
  4. For a product, use product_explosion with a product photo
  5. All video skills are async — they return a job ID, poll with get_job_result until complete (~60–90s)

What you can do with Short Film Maker

Turn a Text Conversation into a Scene

Convert a real or fictional text exchange into a cinematic scene with matched visuals, atmosphere, and pacing.

  1. Paste in the text conversation and describe any tone or setting preferences you have in mind.
  2. Ask Claude to use `short-film-maker` with the `messages_to_scene` skill to generate the scene.
  3. Review the output and ask Claude to adjust the atmosphere, pacing, or character framing if needed.
  4. Download the final clip for use in social content, presentations, or a larger film project.

Create a POV Cinematic Shot

Generate a first-person perspective clip that puts viewers directly inside the scene — walking into a room, approaching a subject, or experiencing a moment.

  1. Describe the scenario: what the viewer is doing, where they are moving, and what they will encounter.
  2. Ask Claude to use `short-film-maker` with `pov_scene` to generate the clip.
  3. Review the movement pacing and environmental detail — ask Claude to adjust speed or add specific objects if needed.
  4. Export the clip for use in campaigns, trailers, or immersive content series.

Generate a Title Sequence

Create a cinematic opening title sequence with animated typography, atmosphere, and sound design for films, shows, or branded videos.

  1. Share the project title, genre, tone, and any visual references you want to evoke.
  2. Ask Claude to use `short-film-maker` with `title_sequence` to generate the intro.
  3. Review the typography, atmosphere, and audio — ask Claude to adjust weight, speed, or color if the tone is off.
  4. Export the title sequence for use as the opening of your film, series, or branded video.
