Fast & Furious
Generate a 30-second French-language opening scene in the spirit of The Fast and the Furious, reimagined with an openly queer/gay aesthetic — leather, chrome, neon, slow homoerotic camera work, two male leads exchanging charged looks across rumbling muscle…

- 1Step 1
Environment Setup
▶# Install Python deps pip install replicate requests # Verify ffmpeg is on PATH (pre-installed on python312-uv snapshot) which ffmpeg || { echo "ERROR: ffmpeg not found"; exit 1; } # Create output directory mkdir -p {{results_dir}} # Verify required secret if [ -z "$REPLICATE_API_TOKEN" ]; then echo "ERROR: REPLICATE_API_TOKEN is not set. Add it to the cheerios collection environment on Jetty (or export locally)." exit 1 fi # Smoke-test the token: list models the token can see python -c "import replicate, os; r = replicate.Client(api_token=os.environ['REPLICATE_API_TOKEN']); print('Replicate auth OK')"If the smoke test fails with 401, the token is missing or invalid. If it fails with a timeout, check network egress from the sandbox.

Write the Bilingual Treatment
▶Draft {{results_dir}}/script.md before generating any video. The script is what every downstream evaluation hinges on — do not skip this step.
- 3Step 3
Generate Keyframes with Nano Banana
▶Generate three keyframes that lock in character + car + lighting consistency across the cut. The model is google/nano-banana (image input/output, supports editing prompts).
- 4Step 4
Generate Two 15-Second Clips with Seedance 2.0
▶Use bytedance/seedance-2.0 with image (start) + last_frame_image (end) for each clip. This is the key mechanism for consistency — Seedance interpolates between the two locked keyframes you just…
- 5Step 5
Stitch with ffmpeg
▶Concatenate clip_01.mp4 + clip_02.mp4 into a single 30-second intro_30s.mp4. Use stream copy (no re-encode) to avoid quality loss; fall back to re-encode only if codecs mismatch.
- 6Step 6
Evaluate Against Rubric
▶Score the final intro_30s.mp4 against each criterion on a 1-5 scale. Watch the full 30 seconds at least twice with audio on.
- 7Step 7
Iterate on Weak Criteria (max 3 rounds)
▶If the rubric score is below the pass threshold:
