Kinetic Intelligence
Action scored. Motion calibrated.
“Every action line carries an intensity score that governs how much motion the frame contains.”
Kinetic Intelligence scores the action intensity of every shot and maps it to a calibrated motion tier. KI scans the narrative action text for keywords across multiple intensity groups, computes an Action Intensity Score (AIS, 0-10), and assigns one of five motion tiers: Static (0-2), Subtle (3-4), Moderate (5-6), Dynamic (7-8), or Intense (9-10).
The AIS directly governs how much motion the generation model should produce for each shot. A Static shot (AIS 2) gets minimal movement — ambient drift, slow environmental change. A Dynamic shot (AIS 8) gets pronounced movement — fast action, camera response, environmental reaction. An Intense shot (AIS 10) gets maximum motion density.
KI also feeds into the Prompt Assembly V2 format, where the AIS determines the ACTION line's specificity and the CINEMA line's camera response. This ensures that calm scenes aren't over-animated and action scenes aren't under-animated — a calibration that raw prompting cannot achieve.
KI — Action Intensity Scoring
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Shot 1: "Convoy moves through desert night"
AIS: 3 (Subtle) — locomotion + ambient
Motion: Slow, environmental drift
Shot 7: "Convoy accelerates through the checkpoint"
AIS: 7 (Dynamic) — acceleration + passage
Motion: Pronounced vehicle movement, dust response
Shot 11: "Guard slams barrier — convoy halts"
AIS: 8 (Dynamic) — impact + forced stop
Motion: Abrupt deceleration, physical impact
Shot 14: "Silence returns to the empty road"
AIS: 1 (Static) — ambient only
Motion: Near-still, dust settling
Tier Distribution:
Static: 3 shots (16%)
Subtle: 4 shots (21%)
Moderate: 5 shots (26%)
Dynamic: 6 shots (32%)
Intense: 1 shot (5%)

Director's Notes
Without action intensity scoring, every shot gets the same amount of motion — or random amounts. KI ensures that motion density is proportional to narrative energy. A quiet aftermath shot shouldn't have the same kinetic density as a pursuit scene. A confrontation should feel more physically urgent than an establishing shot. KI is the calibration layer that makes motion feel intentional.
