The poster argues that compelling AI films depend less on prompts and render quality than on pacing, script, editing, blocking, and lens choices — where AI videos typically fall short after the initial excitement (amateur dialogue, wrong scene lengths, ineffective zooms).
The idea: feed an LLM classic filmmaking books — Steven Katz's Film Directing: Shot by Shot, Sidney Lumet's Making Movies, The Filmmaker's Eye, Master Shots, Five C's of Cinematography — and have it act as a "movie system prompt" governing everything from dialogue and storyboards to cut lengths and lens selection. He's asking whether anyone has tried this effectively.
