Hell Grind: Rebuilding Our Biggest Fight Scene from Scratch
Provides an actionable framework for directing complex, multi-character action scenes with temporal consistency using structured prompt skills and visual canvas workflows.
What this lesson covers
Adil breaks down the open-sourced workflow used to generate an action battle sequence from the AI feature film Hell Grind. The tutorial details how to structure Claude prompt skills, organize Canvas assets, construct distinct crowd classes, and fix generation glitches without relying on negative prompts.

Custom Claude skills structure prompts into asset tags, spatial distances in meters, timecoded camera moves, and strict model guardrails.
- 04:47 ↗
Pre-building environment assets from opposing camera angles prevents background drift and character hallucinations during rapid camera moves.
- 06:41 ↗
Generating four variations per batch allows filmmakers to instantly differentiate between random model artifacts and systematic prompt flaws.
- 07:16 ↗
Constructing distinct character classes for extra groups prevents background crowds from collapsing into identical AI clones.
- 08:29 ↗
Negative prompting frequently fails in AI video models; explicit affirmative action prompts prevent structural geometry morphing.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Install the structured filmmaking skill into Claude to automate multi-part prompt generation with spatial metrics.
- Set up a Canvas workspace organizing hero character sheets, location views from opposite angles, and crowd extra classes.
- Specify camera speeds using relative comparisons like 'three times faster than a dolly pull' instead of subjective adjectives.
- Run generations in four-batch sets to evaluate consistency and catch prompt issues early.
- Replace negative descriptions with direct affirmative physical directives when resolving unwanted object geometry.
