/luma:short-filmBest in Claude Code

Make a short film

Turn a one-line idea into a titled short film. Claude writes the script and the shot list, makes a matching still for every shot, animates them, checks each one and cuts a single film with titles and sound.

@Luma Help me make a short film with my Luma credits, using the /short-film workflow (Make a short film). If my brief leaves out something only I can tell you (my story, or photos of the characters I want to use), ask about it in one message; otherwise pick sensible defaults, tell me what you picked, and make it.

Call get_workflow with name "short-film" and follow it.

If Luma is not connected, ask me to [connect Luma](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector) using https://staging.luma.ai/api/mcp before continuing.

Best in Claude Code: these workflows join the clips into one file with ffmpeg on your computer. Where Claude has no shell, as in the Claude web or phone app, you get the clips in order with a suggested edit.

What Claude does

Write the film first
The script, the shot list and the sound plan come before anything is made, so every shot serves one story.
Make the stills, then animate
One still per shot keeps the look and the subject the same from the first shot to the last. Claude makes them and animates them in one run.
Check every shot
Claude watches for garbled lettering, hidden cuts and camera moves that fight the next shot, and tells you which shot is worth a retake.
Cut the film
In Claude Code it joins the shots with ffmpeg: titles, crossfades and a sound bed. Without a shell you get the shots in order with an edit list.
