Cold Open (skip if you don't care)

Last time I wrote one of these I'd just finished CTRL: Hunters. One person, Higgsfield Ultra plan, four girls in mech suits fighting pink goo aliens in a destroyed SoHo. I burned 7,500+ credits and 133 generations getting there. Half of them were trash. I called it YIKES at the time and meant it.

This is the music video. Same group — Sol, Mira, Zara, Daye — same world, new chapter. Four worlds inside one video: a sold-out stadium performance, a narrative cut in the new world, a dance break that hits when the song breaks, and BTS footage that shouldn't read as AI but does.

The thing that changed isn't the tools. It's that I stopped prompting raw and built two Claude skills that do the prompt engineering for me. The pipeline got smart. The credit count got smaller. The output got cleaner.

This isn't a course. Everything here is free. Same as last time — I'm writing it because I wasted the credits figuring this out and you shouldn't have to.

The Stack (now with brains)

Same five tools, one new layer on top:

• Soul Cinema / Soul Cast — character faces and outfit references
• Nano Banana Pro — character sheets, fuses, scene plates
• Seedance 2.0 — every video generation (now 1080p)
• Topaz Video — final upscale
• Suno — the original track
• Two Claude skills — banana-pro-director for everything still, cinema-worldbuilder for everything moving

The skills are the part most people are gonna skim past. Don't. They're why this doc exists. I'm not going to break them down line by line — they encode a few hundred small rules I learned the painful way on Hunters, and the full breakdowns aren't the point.

I'll show what the rules do without showing you every rule. The output is the proof.
