   Step one involves recording base footage with actors and stand-in props to give the generation model depth and interaction targets.

2. 01:19 ↗

   Step two requires building locations by taking a frame from the original video and prompting changes inside ArtCraft.

   Step three focuses on creating detailed character and prop sheets by uploading reference images and describing clothing or object modifications.

   Step four uses Claude by feeding in all video and reference materials to generate a shot-by-shot SeaArt 2.5 prompt.

   Step five involves generating the video in SeaArt 2.5, making the generation 1 second longer than the original footage to prevent squishing.

Workflow outlined in the video

1. Record base video footage with actors and stand-in props like a bat or gun.
2. Take a reference frame from the original footage and prompt location changes in ArtCraft.
3. Upload reference photos and character sheets to design specific character clothing and zombification details.
4. Create prop sheets for objects like grenades or weapons to use as visual references.
5. Feed all references and footage into Claude to write a shot-by-shot Seedance 2.5 prompt.
6. Upload references and paste the Claude prompt into ArtCraft under Seedance 2.5, setting the duration 1 second longer than the source video.
