This film pipeline turns a short script into an eight-scene vertical film. Each scene uses one approved starting image, one video prompt, and a consistent pair of characters: a 90s kid and their older self from 2026.
The style target is warm 1990s nostalgia. The joke is simple: the kid expected flying cars, but the older self keeps explaining how expensive normal life became.

Start With a Clear Snappy Prompt
Give Snappy the full concept first: title, style, character continuity, scene count, aspect ratio, and dialogue. This version keeps the original idea but trims it into a cleaner eight-shot structure.

Create a vertical 9:16 short film called "The Future."
Style:
Warm, nostalgic 1990s suburban America. Make it feel like 1997: CRT TVs, Nintendo 64, wood-paneled cars, bikes on lawns, sprinklers, mall arcades, handwritten school papers, family kitchens, and soft summer sunset light. Keep the tone sincere, funny, and a little sad. The future should feel disappointing because normal life became less affordable, not because technology failed.
Characters:
Use one consistent 90s kid and one consistent older version of

Approve, Refine, and Generate
After Snappy builds the first proposal, approve the assets that match the tone. The important approvals are the 90s kid, the older self, and the nostalgic style. If a frame is close but not right, edit the image prompt or use image editing before generating video.
Character asset approval in Snappy: description, media, model, and approval state in one place.

Use One Shot Card Per Scene
These are the actual final starting images and prompts pulled from the Sequencer project. Each prompt is collapsed by default so the full shot grid stays easy to scan.

Trim the Timeline and Finish the Audio
Once the video clips are generated, move into the timeline. Trim dead space, adjust clip speed, and keep each line short enough to land. If the generated voice changes between scenes, add a reference voice to the character asset and match each clip back to that voice for consistency.

Export and Upscale
Finish with the Sequencer logo, title graphic, or any short text overlays. Export the edit at high quality, then run a final Topaz 4K upscale. This gives the nostalgic material a cleaner final presentation without changing the handmade feeling of the short.
