PROCESS STEPS:

FEEDBACK: The canvas workflow is revolutionary for creative production. Briefing agents visually node by node changed how I think about AI filmmaking entirely. The agent reviewed my entire canvas, connected nodes for consistency, enhanced every prompt, and selected cheaper models for simple scenes to stay within token budget without me asking. Every enhancement created a new variant under the same node. No fear of losing what worked. No anxiety about experimenting boldly. The most powerful moment I just told a story. "A chai shop. A Starbucks. It is chai, beta." And Melius turned it into a 94 second cinematic film. This isn't vibe coding. This is vibe directing. You bring the story. Melius brings everything else.
