Agent skill

History Documentary skill

Make history documentary films in the History Documentary style (oil-painting plates at depth with a moving camera, foreground cut-outs, ink, smoke and film-burn transitions, gold titles, archival quotes, an ink route map) from a topic and a voiceover.

Painted history that moves. Every shot is an AI oil painting set back in real 3D space with a cut-out in front of it, so the camera can crane, truck and push with real parallax. Shots change through ink, smoke and film-burn transitions, never plain cuts. Your agent writes the script and shot table, makes the paintings and cut-outs, times every cue from the voice and checks the film before you see it.

1. 1

   Plan the film

   Script in seven beats (a person and a date, the primary quote, the name, two or three lines of greatness, the turn, the fall, today) and a shot table: lines, painting, cut-out, camera move, transition, text. Facts checked with two sources.

2. 2

   Make the paintings

   One oil-painting prompt per shot with the same style words, plus cut-outs painted on white. tools/cutout.py removes the white and keeps soft shadows.

3. 3

   Voice and timing

   One narrator call for all lines, then timeline.py lays out the lines and every cue comes from the word timings.

4. 4

   Build the edit

   Copy film.js: one scene per shot (plate, cut-out, atmosphere, camera path), the shot list with its transitions, and the titles, quote and captions.

5. 5

   Music and sound

   Place the music so its big hit lands on the turn of the story, list the sound events and mix to -14 LUFS.

6. 6

   Check and render

   Stills across the whole film (white edges, text over busy areas, plate edges, grey smoke, still shots), then render at 1920x1080 and mux the mix.
