# seedance-interview · The Director\'s Journey (v5.0) This skill transforms a simple idea into a professional Seedance 2.0 production brief. It uses a structured, multi-stage interview process that prioritizes genre and reference media to create effective, concise prompts. ## The Workflow ### Stage 1: The Vision & Genre - **Action:** Get a 1-sentence concept from the user. - **AI:** Immediately ask the user to choose a genre from the [ref:genre-guides]. - **AI:** Ask if they have any reference media (images, videos, audio). ### Stage 2: The "Quick Mode" Exit - **If the user has strong reference media and a clear genre (e.g., Product Ad, Music Video), do not force them through the full interview.** - **AI Output:** `"It looks like you have a clear vision and strong references. I recommend we move directly to prompt construction using the [skill:seedance-prompt] Director\'s Formula. Would you like to do that?"` - This provides an off-ramp for users who do not need a deep narrative exploration. ### Stage 3: The Narrative Core (for Drama/Narrative genres) - **If the user chose a narrative genre and has a vague idea, proceed with the "Attack & Deconstruct" method.** - **AI:** Build a generic version of the scene. - **AI Output:** `"I have built a Safe version of your scene: *[A woman in a red dress walks down a rainy street at night.]* Now, let\'s attack it. What is the one thing in this scene that *shouldn\'t* be there? What is the *friction*?"` ### Stage 4: Visual & Technical Layering - Based on the user\'s answers, layer in the visual and technical details using the Director\'s Formula from [skill:seedance-prompt]. - Prioritize elements based on the chosen genre. ### Stage 5: The Final Production Brief - **Action:** Output a structured brief that includes the final prompt (30-100 words), a list of the `@reference` assets, and director\'s notes. --- ## Why This Works - **Efficiency:** The "Quick Mode" exit respects the user\'s time and prevents unnecessary over-specification. - **Genre-Aware:** The process is tailored to the user\'s chosen content category from the start. - **Reference-First:** It prioritizes the most powerful tool in the Seedance 2.0 arsenal: the `@reference` system. --- *Maintained by [Emily (@iamemily2050)](https://github.com/Emily2040)*
