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

- Ask Claude to use `short-film-maker` with the `messages_to_scene` skill to generate the scene.
- Review the output and ask Claude to adjust the atmosphere, pacing, or character framing if needed.
- Download the final clip for use in social content, presentations, or a larger film project.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Short Film Maker tool
Use short-film-maker to turn this text exchange into a cinematic scene. The conversation is between two old friends reuniting after five years — I want the setting to feel like a rainy city café at night, with warm interior lighting contrasting the cold street outside.
Tips
- Describe the emotional tone — tense, warm, melancholic — and Claude will translate that into visual choices.
- Specify aspect ratio upfront: 9:16 for social, 16:9 for cinema or presentations.
- If the conversation is long, ask Claude to identify the three most cinematically charged messages to focus on.
