In the first lesson of the course on directing AI fight scenes, the presenter introduces a Claude skill that writes four-part fight prompts (asset anchors, meters, seconds, strict rules) and shows the scene's locked assets on Canvas: an extra pain character sheet for Roko, the monster, the army and a location built from front and back views.

Threads in this video

• restate · How do you get precise motion (dance, action, choreography)? — The fight-scene Claude skill writes four-part prompts: asset tags as anchors, spatial coordinates in meters, time-coded movements in seconds, and strict rules against hallucination. (00:01:26)
• restate · Which LLM should be used to write video prompts? — Give the fight-scene Claude skill the scene's script page, attach the assets under their names so Claude writes tags such as @Roko and @Monster into the prompt, and describe each sequence as you picture it. (00:01:52)
• restate · How do you keep a character the same across shots? — Lock the main assets before prompting; for the fight scene the team made an extra character sheet of the hero Roko to show him wiped out and in deep pain. (00:02:20)
• restate · How do you keep a location, product or prop the same across shots? — For action scenes, build the location from two angles, a front view and a back view: with both sides locked the AI stops guessing what is behind the character and batches stop drifting. (00:02:20)
