A sprint is a production sequence, not a task board
afterSora does not manage launch deadlines, assignees or marketing approvals. It can manage the creative context and generated media needed inside that plan. Use your normal project system for ownership and dates; use afterSora from approved brief to finished visual asset.
1. Define the minimum launch asset set
- One hero video or product reveal.
- One vertical social cut or independently generated vertical shot.
- Three to five still-image variations for landing pages and posts.
- One fallback asset that does not depend on a complex generation succeeding.
- A list of product details that must remain accurate in every output.
2. Create one launch project
Create an afterSora project for the launch and keep all accepted tests and final outputs associated with it. Do not mix exploratory work from unrelated brands into the same production record.
3. Build the reusable visual context
- Create a world for the approved environment, lighting, tone and visual rules.
- Use a focal image when the environment needs a concrete visual anchor.
- Create or select a character only when a recurring person or mascot is part of the campaign.
- Store repeatable environment, lighting and brand-language direction in the campaign world.
- Keep precise product text, logos and regulated claims for later compositing when generation cannot reproduce them reliably.
4. Storyboard the hero sequence
Break the hero concept into shots: opening context, product action, proof or benefit, and closing frame. Give each card a clear visual job. Storyboard should describe a sequence; campaign tasks and deadlines belong elsewhere.
5. Choose models per asset
Choose among Sora 2, Sora 2 Pro, MiniMax H3, FLUX 3, Wan 3.0 and the Seedance family from the delivery requirement, selecting higher resolution only when it justifies the additional credits. Use afterSora Imagine at Standard HD or 2K Precision, or GPT Image 2, for stills according to reference needs and target quality.
6. Generate the riskiest asset first
- Start with the shot containing the hardest motion, product interaction or character continuity.
- Use one variation until the prompt and reference plan are credible.
- Inspect brand details before scaling variants.
- Record the usable-result rate and actual credits consumed.
- Simplify the concept early if the risk shot repeatedly fails.
7. Iterate without losing the approved source
Favorite or download the approved source before creating revisions. Use Remix for prompt-led change, Extend for a supported continuation, Re-cut for a different selected segment or pacing, and Loop for a connector workflow. Provider and source restrictions still apply.
8. Export for the real channel
- Confirm aspect ratio and resolution against the destination specification.
- Add exact product text and legal copy in a deterministic editing tool where necessary.
- Run human brand, likeness and rights review.
- Download and version the approved files.
- Deliver them into the launch system that owns publishing and approval.
What a successful sprint leaves behind
The sprint should end with more than files. Keep the project, prompt logic, world, reusable character context, selected outputs and a record of what the launch actually cost. Those assets make the next campaign faster without pretending generative output is perfectly deterministic.
