Turn a short dramatic script into a stylized marble statue film. Snappy handles the first pass from your script and moodboard; you guide the taste, approve the assets, and polish the shots until the story flows.

Create Your Concept
Open Snappy from Generate Films, paste the script into the prompt, and attach the marble statue moodboard as the style reference. The script gives Snappy the story; the moodboard gives it the visual world.
Starter script
# Script
1. In a moonlit marble Olympus temple, Messi sleeps on a marble altar, clutching the golden World Cup while Rodrigo De Paul keeps watch nearby with a spear and shield.
2. Mbappe drops into the temple like a thief, moving quietly through the shadows toward Messi and the trophy.
3. De Paul spots him first and steps in to protect Messi. Mbappe attacks De Paul, forcing the guard back and clearing a path to the altar.
4. Mbappe reaches Messi and carefully pulls the World Cup from his arms without waking him.
5. As Mbappe escapes, Suarez, a second marble guardian, blocks the doorway and orders him to stop: "Put it back, Mbappe." Mbappe grips the trophy: "No. Not tonight."
6. Suarez lunges to take the trophy back. Mbappe panics and swings the World Cup; Suarez is struck down and falls still across the marble floor.
7. Mbappe runs into the night with the trophy, leaving blood-red footprints across the polished temple floor.
8. Messi wakes to the quiet aftermath, finds Suarez fallen, and cradles him as gold tears run down his marble face.
Attach this moodboard with the script so Snappy understands the marble statue style.

Approve the Style and Characters
Snappy will propose the project style, characters, and production plan. Approve the style only when the marble statue treatment, Roman temple setting, gold trophy accents, and dramatic tone feel right.
For the character images, regenerate until each person reads clearly in the statue style. Nano Banana Pro is the best choice when you want cleaner faces, stronger costume detail, and more control over the final image quality.
Approval Tip
If an asset is close but not right, regenerate or edit it before approving. A strong approved character should hold up across the whole short, not just one frame.
3
Let Snappy Build the Storyboard
After the style and characters are approved, Snappy will automatically start creating the shot images. If it pauses, simply prompt Snappy to proceed. Review the first layout, approve the shots that work, and use the storyboard as your first full pass on the story.
The first batch of generated shot images, ready to reorder, regenerate, or edit before video generation.
Check that the theft, confrontation, accidental strike, escape, and final reveal are all visible beats.
Make sure the cracked trophy and red footprints are included because they carry the drama visually.
Keep the shots readable as a short vertical sequence, not just a collection of cool frames.
4
Refine Your Starting Frames
Once the initial shot images are laid out, open any frame that needs work and click Edit Image. Use targeted prompts to fix one detail at a time, like changing glowing footsteps into red blood footprints or strengthening the cracked trophy.
Example image-editing pass: prompt a focused change, review it, then keep moving.
Snappy uses Nano Banana 2 by default to quickly flesh out shots. When a frame matters, switch it to Nano Banana Pro for cleaner faces, better detail, and more control over the final image.

Rearrange and Add Scenes Until It Flows
Watch the storyboard like an audience would. If the story jumps too quickly, rearrange shots, add a reaction shot, or insert a new scene between beats. Keep iterating until each action causes the next one.
The goal is a clean micro drama: setup, theft, confrontation, irreversible mistake, escape, and emotional ending.
Editing Tips
Start with a strong hook so the first shot immediately sets up the theft, danger, or emotional stakes.
Cut on action when possible, like the grab, lunge, strike, or escape.
Keep the temple, lighting, and background direction consistent so the shots feel like one continuous space.
Use reaction shots when the story needs emotion, especially Messi discovering Suarez.

Generate the Videos
When the still images are working, generate the video for each shot. For this project, Seedance 2.0 Fast is the best fit because it balances quality, prompt adherence, motion, and speech generation.
Video Prompting Guide
Describe the motion first: who moves, where they move, and how fast.
Tag the exact characters, like @Mbappe, @Messi, and @RodrigoDePaul.
Put spoken dialogue in quotes so the model treats it as speech.
Describe the voice: angry whisper, panicked breath, exhausted final line, or solemn heroic delivery.
Add camera movement and mood, such as slow dolly, handheld panic, moonlit marble temple, or tense silence before impact.

Edit the Timeline, Audio, and SFX
Once the videos feel right, go to the Editor tab. Trim each shot, adjust speed, balance volume, and make sure every cut supports the drama.
Music and Sound
Drag and drop a background music file directly into the timeline, or generate a new song with Sequencer music models.
Add SFX the same way: import your own hits, footsteps, impacts, and ambience, or generate new sound effects in Sequencer.
Use volume controls so dialogue, music, and impact sounds do not fight each other.
8
Export the Final Short
For a crisp final export, use HEVC (H.265), set bit depth to 8-bit, and turn on Topaz Video Proteus at 2x. This keeps the file efficient while making the final video feel clean and polished.
Final export setup: H.265, 8-bit, and 2x Topaz Video Proteus for a clean high-quality result.
