The storyteller workflow

From a blank brief to a published story. No tab-switching. No model toggling.

Step 1 — Brief the story

However the story lives in your head:

A one-line logline
A topic or theme
A rough outline
A reference video or trailer
A full written script
A voice note or audio description
An existing channel to pattern-match against

No template to fill. No form to complete. Talk to Ra like a collaborator.

Step 2 — Ra picks a format

Ra proposes the story format that fits the brief, and why. Confirm, override, or ask for alternatives.

Step 3 — Intelligence layer reads the brief

Ra cross-references against:

Your Director Memory Graph (if it exists)
Your audience patterns
What converts in your niche
The format’s best-practice structure

He returns a story structure: chapters, scenes, beats, pacing. Full arc on one page. Edit anything; Ra re-drafts.

Step 4 — Director Brief generated

Storyboard — static image mockups, scene by scene
Script — dialogue, narration, voice-over
Shot list — camera, lighting, motion, framing
Pacing map — duration per scene, transitions, beats
Character cast — pulled from Memory, or freshly created
Hook and CTA recommendations — based on what converts for your audience

Everything above is free. You see your video as a static artifact before any render cost.

Step 5 — Render

Approve. Ra orchestrates.

Keyframes render first, multiple models in parallel
Motion applied per shot, Ra picks the model per shot
Dialogue synthesized in your voice
Score composed, effects applied, captions burned
Multi-platform versions generated
Published to connected platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn

Step 6 — Memory enriches

Every approved shot, every re-run take, every cast character, every performance signal folds into your Graph. Tomorrow’s story starts from here, not from zero.

First story: under an hour. Fifteenth story: around fifteen minutes.
