Workflow record

Where the machine stops

How each pipeline was actually built — the stages, the numbers, and the line between what the machine did and what still needed a person.

WuKong Education — AI Creative Production Test

Delivered — client-commissioned production test

A gated AI video pipeline built in about 110 minutes, from source inspection to a loudness-checked master. The finished films are not shown here: the employer-supplied source footage carries their own do-not-distribute watermark and features a child.

~110: minutes, research to delivery
4 + 1 + 2: hook prototypes, control, variants
35,203: files in the production workspace

Pipeline

01Source inspectionWaveform analysis found audio only in the first ~3.9s, contradicting the metadata
02Contact sheets and scene map
03Performance hypothesis and claim-safe script
04Bilingual overlay graphics1080×1920, typography via Pillow
05Voice and procedural music stems
06Mix, duck, normalise, encode
07QC gate and delivery−14 LUFS delivery QC; edit decisions preserved in src/build.py

Run by the pipeline

Located and probed the actual source
Generated time-sampled frames and contact sheets
Selected in/out points by commercial function
Built the 1080×1920 bilingual graphics
Generated replaceable synthetic VO stems
Wrote an original procedural music bed
Trimmed, composited, mixed, normalised, encoded
Emitted SRT and machine-readable loudness QC

Still required a person

Whether the household truth reads as empathetic rather than judgmental
Whether the synthetic voice clears the hiring manager’s quality bar
Whether the temporary music carries the right emotional taste
Whether the unavoidable source watermark is acceptable
Whether a direct-response CTA beats this lower-pressure tone
Which single file to submit, and whether the variants go with it

Deliberately not used

Cloud video intelligence: Unnecessary and inappropriate for child footage
Generative children, teachers, testimonials or family scenes: Creatively and ethically wrong for this task
An invented WuKong logo: No official asset was supplied, so the end card uses a typographic treatment instead
Remotion: Too much setup for four restrained, motion-light graphic systems

COCO_BLACK / The Coffee Gets Lighter

Delivered — self-initiated, not client-commissioned

TEXAS BAIJIU

In progress — self-initiated, not client-commissioned

A six-act commercial being built under an explicit generation discipline: nothing enters the production network until a person locks it, and every cut inside a dramatic unit is written down so the model cannot invent its own edit points. Video generation is currently frozen; image work is cleared.

2.39:1: six acts, widescreen
90s / 108s: two structural animatics built
721: files inventoried at 100% in the asset audit

Pipeline

02Cinematic-perspective novelLOCKED — the authority any later stage is checked against
03Scene-by-scene prep, seven deliverables eachMcKee analysis · beat cards with gap, subtext and verbal-action columns · nine-column shot table · sound map · dramatic-unit prompt · risk gaps · spatial reference set
04All eight scenes approved
05Shoot — pure execution

Run by the pipeline

Generation runs, one continuity image at a time
Take ledger synced from the platform’s own generation history
Structural animatics assembled from approved frames
OTIO bridge writing edit order and in/out points into the NLE

Still required a person

Every prompt is read by a person before it is spent
Nothing counts as locked until a person says so — a generated image is not a lock
Blocking is locked before any image is generated, never after
Every claim is marked verified, unchecked, or interpretation — an interpretation is never delivered as fact
Downstream changes are propagated back upstream, and butterfly-effect changes are confirmed before they are made

The career archive records this entry as a delivered 102-second film. The project’s own progress record, updated 11 August 2026, has it in scene-prep with video generation frozen. The live project record is the one shown here.
