How it works
Upload a reference (optional) or skip. Set mood, or pick None to browse freely.
Camera, lighting, anime styles, and combos — each with example stills you can enlarge.
Drop picks into Photo or Film tracks, resolve conflicts, copy or save the prompt.
Paste into your image/video model of choice. Shot Director only builds the language.
Upload an image (optional) and tell it what you're going for, then hit Suggest — you'll jump to the Prompts tab. Prefer to skip the wizard and just browse techniques? Pick None under creative direction, or open 📷 Camera Angles from the sidebar anytime.

🎨 Anime Style Library reference
Three views: Mai / Razen still examples, or Character Profile Sheet Prompts — preferred image-only restyle commands (profile-sheet friendly, no video language). Apply to the Photography prompt with → Photo.
Pick a character below. Each card shows that style as a single still photo so you can judge the look before applying it to your Photography prompt.
📷 Camera Angle Demos Razen reference
One still photo per Camera Shot using Razen (Refrence/man.png) as the model so you can see how framing and angle change. Click a card to enlarge, then apply that camera technique only to your Photo or Film prompt (does not set an anime style).
Same character reference so the demos are comparable. Motion-only shots are frozen keyframes. Applying a card adds the shot to your prompt — not an art-style block.
💡 Lighting Library Master list
Every Lighting Technique (and Lighting + Camera combo) from the Master Shot & Lighting List. Browse, search, enlarge the demo still, or apply a pick straight into your Photo or Film prompt. Use Compare on two cards to view them side by side — same character reference so differences are pure lighting (or lighting + framing for combos).

🎬 Skyebrows Prompt Library reference
Each original preset has a still keyframe demo. Newer entries scraped from @Skyebrows (full Grok text when posted on X + Grok Imagine links). Click a thumbnail to enlarge, apply with → Photo / → Film, or pick from a prompt's 🎬 Skyebrows preset dropdown.

🪄 Transparent Background Tool
Upload an image with a solid green, blue, or white background and knock it out to transparency, then download a PNG. Processing happens in your browser on this page.

…or click the preview to sample the exact colour. Current target: —
How close a colour must be to the target to be removed.
Colour ramp: how gradually the cut fades as pixels approach the target colour.
Softens the cut-out shape itself — best for wispy hair and fine lines.
Neutralises leftover green/blue colour cast on the kept edges (no effect on a white background).
Upload an image to preview the cut-out here.
👾 Sprite Maker
Turn an uploaded image into a pixel-art sprite — pixelate it, snap it to a retro palette, knock out the background and add a sprite outline, then download a transparent PNG. This is an in-browser pixel-art converter (not an AI redraw); for a full AI "reimagine as a game character", build a prompt on the Prompts tab and run it through an image model.

Longest side of the sprite grid — smaller = chunkier pixels.
Upload an image to make a sprite.
🧝 AI Character Sprite
Upload a character image and turn it into an LPC-style pixel-art sprite with a generative AI. Claude can't make images, so this needs a backend: a free local Stable Diffusion server (AUTOMATIC1111 / Forge / ComfyUI — best, because it works image-to-image off your upload) or a cloud image API (OpenAI, Grok/xAI, Stability…) with your own key. The prompt below always works — copy it into any AI tool even without wiring up Live Generate.

⚡ Live Generate (advanced — needs your model/key)
Higher = more stylised / less like the original photo.
Upload a character image, copy the prompt into your AI tool, or run Live Generate.
