Two-character podcast or debate clips: one studio set, locked camera angles, MiniMax H3 Max with native audio.

What it does

A 7-step recipe for two-character dialogue videos: write 5 s scenes with one short line each, generate an empty studio set, compose a wide shot from the character, outfit and set references, derive close-ups and a cold-light "truth cutaway" from that wide shot, then animate each scene with minimax_h3_max image-to-video speaking the line natively. It records what fails (over-the-shoulder shots rearrange the characters; describing appearance swaps the person) and ends with an HTML storyboard that plays every scene in order. The file has no YAML frontmatter yet and calls the legacy /v1 endpoints, so both need fixing before it is published.
