Tether.
One shot, no words.
A 20-second film in Kleo’s realistic look: one continuous pull-back from an astronaut’s face inside his helmet to the station he is tethered to. Every frame is generated footage. It plays here muted, by itself, while it is in view.
One unbroken pull-back.
One unbroken pull-back. It opens inside the helmet, on the astronaut’s face and his breath on the glass; a gloved hand comes up, the visor floods red, and the camera keeps backing away as he drifts, arms open, until the gold line running up from his pack meets the station and its solar arrays. Every frame is generated footage. No words at all: only his breathing and a low hum.
The copy on this page is 1080p at 60 fps, taken from the 4K master, and it plays muted: the breathing and the hum are in the master. Tether has no narrator because the brief asked for none. The standard Kleo film has one, in English or Italian, and no background music, no captions and no on-screen text.
The whole request, one line.
Copy it as it is, or keep its shape and change the subject: what happens, how long it runs, which format, which look, what is heard.
“A 20-second film, 16:9: one continuous pull-back from an astronaut’s face inside his helmet to the station he’s tethered to. No words, just his breathing.”
In a connected client, kleo_adapt_prompt reads a request like this against the intake (subject,
length, format, look; audience, tone and what must appear are optional), asks for whatever is missing, and
returns the treatment: logline, angle, opening, acts, ending, look, pacing, narrator.
kleo_storyboard_guide then sets out how the storyboard is written, and kleo_create_video
checks everything, states the exact credits, 10 for a 20-second film, and starts the render on a GPU rented for
that job. Nothing is charged until that call accepts the job.
Eight things to look for.
- One shotA single generated take from the first frame to the last: no cut, no slideshow of stills.
- CameraOne continuous movement, a pull-back that starts inside the helmet and ends at the station, with the astronaut drifting through the frame as it goes.
- ContinuityOne subject held through one movement: the face, the visor, the glove and the gold tether stay the same from the helmet to the station.
- LookRealistic: generated live-action footage, cinematic. Kleo’s other look, animation, is a 2D animated film made through the same workflow; its sample is the octopus Short.
- Master4K (3840×2160) at 60 fps, 16:9. Shown here at 1080p, 60 fps.
- SoundNo narrator, no music: his breathing and a low hum. Muted on this page.
- Length20 seconds. A Kleo film runs from 15 seconds to 5 minutes.
- Credits10, the minimum a film costs: 1 credit is 2 seconds of film, rounded up, 10 credits minimum. An animatic of the same storyboard would be 5.
Your own film, from one message.
Connect Kleo to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or another MCP client, then describe your film in one message: the subject, the length, the format and the look. Connecting gives you 7 credits, with no form and no card: one 5-credit animatic. A film is made only for accounts that have bought a pack and starts at 10 credits, so the €5 pack of 10 covers a 20-second film like this one with 7 to spare. A render typically takes 25–35 minutes on a GPU rented for that job, and the finished MP4 comes back as a link that stays good for 7 days.
