KLEO PRODUCTION WORKSHEET Try a free animatic with Kleo starter credits Guide: https://kleooai.com/guides/free-animatic-maker/ Project: Version: Reviewer: DECISIONS 1. Choose one simple story within the current animatic duration range. Your decision: 2. Review the treatment and narration before using the credits. Your decision: 3. Judge sequence and pacing while keeping the preview's limitations in mind. Your decision: REVIEW [ ] Does the story make sense in sequence? Evidence / timestamp: [ ] Is narration clear? Evidence / timestamp: [ ] Have you saved the result while its link is available? Evidence / timestamp: PITFALL An animatic can expose a weak story, but it cannot verify the behavior or quality of every generated clip in a later film. Treat those as separate review stages. This worksheet is a planning aid, not a rendered example or automated verification. PROJECT RECORD The single question this animatic should answer: Opening / journey / ending: Identifying visual detail: Approved narration: Product confirmed as animatic: Current balance and quoted cost: Story observation and timestamp: Audio observation and timestamp: Picture observation and timestamp: Next decision: accept / revise plan / stop: Saved MP4 location: EXAMPLE BRIEF — ADAPT BEFORE USE Plan a 20-second Kleo animatic about a paper boat returning to its maker. Use the animation look, one English narrator and 9:16 framing. Show the opening, journey and ending; confirm a 5-credit animatic quote against my available balance. Ask me about any remaining options. Wait for my approval before rendering. Do not switch to a generated-footage film or buy credits. REFERENCE NOTES GIVE THE PREVIEW ONE JOB Use the first animatic to answer a small creative question. For example: can a viewer understand that a paper boat has returned to the person who made it? That is a story test you can judge from scene order, narration and recognisable visual details. It does not require a promise that a generated character or object will stay identical across future motion clips. The outline below is a fictional planning example, not an executed prompt or a report of a Kleo render. Ask your assistant to turn it into a treatment, then check that the chosen product is an animatic before approving production. A 20-second paper-boat story to plan before rendering Approximate beat: 0–8 seconds: departure Picture intention: A maker folds a paper boat beside a window. Give the boat one simple identifying detail. What to check: Can the viewer identify the maker and the boat without a long explanation? Approximate beat: 8–21 seconds: journey Picture intention: Two clear locations suggest the boat’s journey. Narration connects them rather than listing unrelated scenes. What to check: Does each scene move the same story forward? Is the route understandable? Approximate beat: 21–30 seconds: return Picture intention: The boat reappears at the original window. Repeat the identifying detail and resolve the opening. What to check: Does the ending make the return clear, rather than merely showing another boat? WATCH IN THREE SEPARATE PASSES Accept the animatic when it answers your chosen question, revise the plan when it does not, or stop if the story needs a different approach. A film is a separate job with a separate quote; approving this preview does not authorize it. 1. Watch the sequence without trying to evaluate every detail. Write one sentence describing what happened. If it differs from your intended story, revise the treatment before investing in generated footage. 2. Listen to the narration and compare it with the approved wording. Note unclear names, missing words and awkward pacing with timestamps. Good written narration is not proof of accurate audio delivery. 3. Inspect framing and continuity. Check whether the subject remains visible, the intended visual detail survives, and the camera movement helps rather than distracts. Record defects as observations; do not mark an unrendered future clip as passed. AFTER THE FIRST PREVIEW With an otherwise untouched starter account, one 20-second animatic uses all 5 starter credits. Another version needs new credits: a confirmed email adds 3, a pack adds more. Check the reported job status, balance and new quote first; do not assume revisions are included. Save the MP4 within its 7-day download period. Keep the approved treatment and your timestamped observations beside it, but keep your private Kleo key out of shared worksheets. The finished-file deadline is different from the retention of prompts and account records described in Privacy.
