Provide the title and creative brief and ChatGPT will generate the sequence with a documented production rationale. This works well when the title sequence is part of a larger branded package where each asset needs recorded creative decisions.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Short Film Maker tool:

  1. Provide the project title, genre, tone, and any visual references.
  2. Ask ChatGPT to run `short-film-maker` with `title_sequence` to generate the intro.
  3. Request a production summary covering typography choice, atmosphere, audio, and brand fit.
  4. Attach the clip and brief to your project documentation for team or client review.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Short Film Maker tool
Use short-film-maker with title_sequence to create an opening title for 'The Last Fishermen' — slow reveal, serif, dark ocean atmosphere, orchestral swell. After generating, write a production summary covering the typography choice, atmosphere, audio design, and how they reinforce the documentary's tone.

Tips

  • Document the creative rationale for client presentations — it shows deliberate directorial choices, not random generation.
  • Include intended duration in your brief: 3-second logo sting vs 8-second cinematic intro require different approaches.
  • Have ChatGPT compare the output against two reference sequences from other projects so clients understand the aesthetic position.
