The first five prompts for Lost Garden episode 2 have no knights in them. Each ends with "No characters. No dialogue." Just places. A castle skewered by a giant root, "like an arrow driven through a cake." A village clinging to a cliff over a void. Then I bring the knights in.

This week the ScreenWeaver MCP got batches. Claude can set 25 prompts or 25 sets of reference images in one call. A whole comic scene at once. It checks all 25 before it writes anything. One bad item and you get "Item 2: ... Nothing was written." Your storyboard doesn't move.

What's the one shot you burned the most credits on? I mean a single shot, the one that came out almost right every time, so you kept hitting generate. Did it survive the edit?

In my Lost Garden screenplay, Serrure takes a shortcut, walks into a dead end and blames the caves: "They moved it. The caves. They moved." That scene didn't make the cut. In episode 2 he just points down a tunnel and says: "See, Lantern? I never get lost."

Ask Claude for a storyboard and you get a clean table. Then your evening goes into copying it somewhere else, shot by shot. Here's how to get Claude to write the shots straight into a real storyboard, step by step.

All seven Seedance prompts for the first minute of Lost Garden episode 2 ask for the same odd pair: "style MAPPA, christopher nolan style." An anime studio and the IMAX guy, in the same sentence. Shot 1 even says what Nolan was for: "both knights dwarfed by the scale."

Most AI films die at the script, and everyone blames the model. If the story doesn't work, switching video models won't save it. You're just throwing credits out the window. Lost Garden episode 2 began as a screenplay I wrote by hand, then a storyboard. Video came last.

When you give the ScreenWeaver MCP a comic page, the panels usually get redrawn into storyboard frames. But sometimes the drawing already is the shot. So this week Claude got a new tool, set_shot_panel: it pins the panel itself on the shot. Up to 50 shots per call, no credits.

Every Seedance prompt I wrote for Lost Garden episode 2 says "no music." The clip only gets the cave: its breathing, dripping water, roots creaking, metal, and the voices. I add the music later, in the edit.

One photo of a notebook page: six pencil sketches, a few words of French under each. I gave it to Claude through the ScreenWeaver MCP. Shots S14 to S19 showed up in scene 3, each sketch pinned to its shot. The note "travelling avant" came out as a dolly-in.

I handed Claude the whole of Dracula as one PDF, through the ScreenWeaver MCP. What landed in the project: 11 characters, 16 places, 8 objects, 32 scenes, 177 shots. It can't press Generate, though. Deciding which of those 177 shots become film is still my job.

My knight never says a word in Lost Garden. So in my Seedance prompts, I write his lines as noises. "A faint, almost indignant metallic clink." "A flat little metallic clink." The second one means he doesn't believe a word Serrure just said.
