One prompt turns your photo library into a 60-second Ghibli-style AI short film via Hedra MCP

A developer shared a complete prompt recipe for generating a 60-second, 16:9 1080p first-person short film from personal photos and videos, using only the Hedra MCP.
Key details:
- Story structure: media is ordered by capture time into a single day's arc (morning to night), with AI-invented in-between moments and 7 short spoken lines so it plays like a movie, not a slideshow.
- Visual style: each story beat gets a 16:9 keyframe from GPT Image 2 (high), prompted as a 1990s-2000s Studio Ghibli cel — hand-painted watercolor/gouache backgrounds, one shadow tone, 35mm scan grain, muted colors — with explicit bans on bloom, lens flare, over-saturation, close-up portraits, and text.
- A showcase of full-pipeline prompt engineering: MCP tool orchestration + image generation + video synthesis.
