Field notes for the remake.
Four practical notes on reading a reference: how to write the prompt, how to name the shot, how to tell evidence from a vibe, and what the open-source CLI adds.
Four field notes
GUIDE 01 / 8 MIN↗
How to reverse-engineer a video prompt
Work backwards from the cut list and the measured frame, not from adjectives. A repeatable prompt skeleton with a real example.
Read the note → GUIDE 02 / 9 MIN↗Shot sizes and camera moves, without the fog
A working glossary: what each shot size shows, what each move does, and which parts a browser can actually measure.
Read the note → GUIDE 03 / 11 MIN↗AI or filmed? The evidence hierarchy
Metadata beats noise, noise beats vibes. What the pixels can prove, what they cannot, and why a verdict needs more than one signal.
Read the note → GUIDE 04 / 10 MIN↗rea-video CLI: install and first breakdown
The open-source CLI, the install path, the commands, and where it picks up when the browser workbench stops.
Read the note →Read less. Measure more.
The workbench is the fastest way to check a claim against a clip you already have.
