How to make an AI heist movie
Brief for AI Create: A heist film: five people who each lost money to the same art dealer plan to steal one painting from his own gala; one night, one floor, one of them is lying.
A crew you can read at a glance
| Role | Look written into the sheet |
|---|---|
| The planner | Grey suit, reading glasses, always holding a notebook |
| The inside person | Catering uniform, a name badge |
| The tech | Oversized hoodie, earpiece, laptop prop |
| The driver | Leather jacket, a toothpick |
| The face | Evening gown or tuxedo, a state for the gala |

Tell it, then show it
The plan scene is voice-over over the locations: the planner's voice while the camera moves through the empty gallery. The job is the same locations, now full, and something different happens. Because each location is drawn once, the two versions match. Voice-over lines · The set.
| Target | Scene Style | Costume Style |
|---|---|---|
| Gala and gallery | Urban Opulence | Haute Couture, Professional Uniforms |
| Bank or tower | Corporate Cold | Power Tailoring |
| Casino city | Neon Nights, Gulf Metropolis | Minimal Luxury |
| Period heist | Republican Era | Jazz Age |
The twist, planted
| Beat | Shot to adapt |
|---|---|
| The plan | [Shot 1] 4s: Wide shot, the empty gallery. @Iris (voice-over): The painting comes off the wall at 9:40. Not 9:41. |
| The plant | [Shot 2] 2s: Close-up. @Leo pockets a second key card when no one is looking. |
| The job | [Shot 3] 4s: The same gallery, full of guests. @Iris checks her watch: 9:40. |
| The surprise | [Shot 4] 3s: The frame on the wall is empty already. |
