Module breakdown

Six chapters. One transformation.

The full curriculum of Story for the Algorithm, designed to ship the assignment, the asset and the assistant by the end of the module.

  1. Ch. 01

    Story First

    Why structure outranks style every time. The narrative principles that make a 60-second AI short feel like cinema, not content.

  2. Ch. 02

    The Three Acts in 60 Seconds

    Compression without collapse. How to deliver setup, escalation and payoff in the time the algorithm gives you.

  3. Ch. 03

    Beat Sheets

    From premise to shot list. The beat-sheet workflow that turns a logline into a sequence the model can actually generate.

  4. Ch. 04

    The Cold Open

    Three seconds, two beats, one hook. The opening formula that earns the next ten seconds, every time.

  5. Ch. 05

    Test, Cut, Iterate

    How to A/B story variants at zero cost. The testing loop that finds the cut before you commit a render.

  6. Ch. 06

    Your Story Templates

    Build a library of 12 reusable story templates, each tested across the major video models, each ready to ship.

The toolkit

Tools you will use.

A working set, taught with intent. We do not chase tools — we direct them.

Claude

Beat sheets, story templates, narrative iteration

Python

Template scaffolding and prompt scaffolding

What you will build

12 prompt-ready story templates

A library of 12 reusable short-form story structures, beat sheets included, prompt-ready, and tested across the major video models of 2026. Reach for one, swap in your premise, ship a film.
