A ready-made Claude Project that writes episodes in Lumora's format.
Give it one line, like “a dad who is scared of the dentist takes his daughter to the dentist.” It hands back the cold-open hook, the 8-beat flow, a reference-photo prompt, a Seedance video prompt, a sound sheet and captions for every platform. Same structure Lan uses, ready the moment you open it.
| 0–2s | Mia stands at a large mirror, reaching back to zip up her dress, smiling confidently at her own reflection. |
| 2–4s | The zipper snags midway. She tugs gently — it won't budge. Her smile fades into concern. |
| 4–6s | She twists her body, reaching with both hands from different angles, still unable to connect the zipper. Frustration builds. |
| 6–8s | Still absorbed in the struggle, she turns away from the mirror and drifts toward the dresser/doorway area, unaware of her surroundings. |
| 8–9s | She backs directly into her partner, who has just walked in. Both are startled. |
| 9–10.5s | She turns, gesturing pleadingly toward her stuck zipper, relieved someone is there to help. |
| 10.5–12.5s | He reaches both hands to the zipper with calm confidence and pulls it up in one smooth motion. |
| 12.5–15s | She turns back to the mirror, relieved and smiling. He stands beside her, warm and content. |
