# Make AI Short Films From Storyboard Stills to a HyperFrames Edit — workflow skill for cinematic & short films

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page. From a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): `vargai search` and `vargai install <slug>` with no key, every varg model after `vargai login`.

## What it does

The agent makes the creative calls (story, prompts, pacing) while bundled Python scripts do the API work: Gemini analysis of a reference video into a brief, GPT Image 2.5 storyboard stills, video from Gemini Omni, FLUX 3 Video, Seedance 2.5/2.0 or LTX with Veo as a fallback, ElevenLabs voice, music and SFX, and assembly with ffmpeg or a HyperFrames timeline with captions and transitions. SKILL.md and reference/ cover character consistency, first/last-frame interpolation, clip extension and per-model prompt guides. It needs keys for the providers you use (OpenAI, Gemini, ElevenLabs, BytePlus Ark, LTX, BFL) plus S3 for Seedance references. MIT license.

## Use when

- make a short film from a brief with storyboard stills first
- copy the pacing and look of a reference video
- animate stills with first/last-frame or reference-video control
- add voiceover, music and sound effects and cut the final film

## Install

- Claude Code: `npx skills add realaman90/skills -g -y`
- Codex: `npx skills add realaman90/skills -g -y`
- Any agent, with the vargai CLI: `vargai install ai-film-studio-storyboard-to-hyperframes`

## Run the generation on varg

varg is one API key for the models these skills drive — Seedance 2.5, Kling 4, Veo 3.1, Wan 3, Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2.5, ElevenLabs v4 and 200+ more — billed in credits, with a cost estimate before anything runs.

- Any agent with a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` (Windows: `irm https://varg.ai/install.ps1 | iex`), then `vargai login` and every model is a command — `vargai generate_video …`, `vargai estimate_cost …` (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli/)
- Claude Code: `claude plugin marketplace add vargHQ/skills && claude plugin install varg@varg` (skill + hosted MCP)
- Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw: `npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-ai -a <agent> -y`
- Grok and any agent that reads SKILL.md: `npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-ai`, or point it at the skill's SKILL.md
