When to use this prompt
When choreographers tackle one-er inside cinematic, the hard part is not the model — it is the brief. Shot design, lighting, and film-language prompts. This prompt encodes that context so Claude does not guess. Swap only nouns when adapting — keep the process intact.
Why this prompt works
- Keeps cinematic vocabulary specific instead of buzzwords.
- Uses current and tactical language that matches how practitioners actually brief work.
- Separates draft from critique so you can steal the structure later.
- Locks the audience (choreographers) before style so tone stays honest.
- Names a clear job so Claude does not wander into generic advice.
How to use it in Claude
Redact client names; keep structure. Slug one-er-playbook is your canonical URL for this brief. This 2026 Playbook path is for choreographers who care about unbroken movement. Name the success metric aloud: unbroken movement. If the draft cannot pass it, do not polish prose yet. Shot design, lighting, and film-language prompts. Keep that context in the thread when you iterate. Use current and tactical follow-ups only — mixing tones mid-thread confuses Anthropic models.
Swap the audience once. If the one-er piece still works, the core is solid. For one-er in cinematic, the failure mode is usually vague audience. This prompt blocks that by design — especially "blocked path". Expect two minutes customizing and two minutes editing for 2026 Playbook output. Anthropic models still need your facts for one-er; they cannot invent metrics or brand rules. directors and video editors teams bookmark slug one-er-playbook when what works now, including evaluation loops matters.
