Cinematic Kling#

Generates a 5-second cinematic video by combining:

• A character (person/model)
• An item (product, object, prop)
• A location (background, environment)

Internally creates a Character Sheet and Item Sheet, then feeds them into Kling for video generation.

Character Sheet Prompt Structure#

The prompt has two parts — only the [brackets] part changes:

text

Create a photorealistic character sheet. Include a closeup portrait which is left aligned (the outfit must be visible in the portrait), no borders, with a neutral expression and then also include a full view shot that shows the front, right side view, left side view and back of the character. The character is placed on a white background. Don't include any text. No borders, no soft gradients. [CLOTHING DESCRIPTION HERE]

Rule: Replace [CLOTHING DESCRIPTION HERE] with the outfit appropriate for the scene. Everything before the brackets stays exactly as-is.

Examples:

• [They are wearing a tailored black suit with a white shirt, no tie, luxury editorial style.]
• [They are wearing dirty damaged clothes in the style of The Last Of Us, dystopic aesthetic.]
• [They are wearing a red Nike tracksuit and white sneakers, athletic style.]

---

Video Prompt Guidelines#

• Keep it simple — describe the action/interaction, not every detail
• Mention character + item + location implicitly through the action
• You can suggest 1-2 camera cuts within the 5 seconds
• Works for: ads, short films, music videos, product demos, action clips

Good examples:

• "Short cinematic sequence of the character dunking a basketball in the ring while wearing the green Shaq shoes."
• "Character walks into the desert location, picks up the item from the sand, holds it toward camera. Quick cut to close-up of the item."
• "Product reveal: character turns around in the urban location, tosses the item to camera in slow motion."

Bad (too detailed):

• ❌ "Camera starts at f/1.8 aperture, golden hour light at 47 degrees, character moves exactly 3 steps forward..."

---

Step 0 — Verify Which Image Is Which (MANDATORY)#

ALWAYS use the image tool to identify each file before assigning roles. Never assume by order.

text

image(images=[file1, file2, file3], prompt="Para cada imagen, decí brevemente si es: persona, producto/objeto, o lugar/ambiente")

Then assign:

• character_base = the person/model
• item_base = the product/object they interact with
• location_base = the place/environment/background

---

Step 1 — Upload Images to ComfyDeploy Storage#

ALWAYS upload local files to ComfyDeploy's own storage first. NEVER use external/custom domains.

bash

source ~/clawd/.env

upload_to_comfy() {
  curl -s -X POST "https://api.comfydeploy.com/api/file/upload" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $COMFY_DEPLOY_API_KEY" \
    -F "file=@$1" | jq -r '.file_url'
}

URL_CHAR=$(upload_to_comfy /path/to/character.jpg)
URL_ITEM=$(upload_to_comfy /path/to/item.jpg)
URL_LOC=$(upload_to_comfy /path/to/location.jpg)
# Returns: https://comfy-deploy-output.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/inputs/img_XXXX.jpg

Step 2 — Submit Run#

bash

RUN_ID=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.comfydeploy.com/api/run/deployment/queue" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COMFY_DEPLOY_API_KEY" \
  -d "{
    \"deployment_id\": \"e5258667-dec2-438f-84d0-f22049692483\",
    \"inputs\": {
      \"character_base\": \"$URL_CHAR\",
      \"item_base\": \"$URL_ITEM\",
      \"location_base\": \"$URL_LOC\",
      \"character_sheet_prompt\": \"Create a photorealistic character sheet. Include a closeup portrait which is left aligned (the outfit must be visible in the portrait), no borders, with a neutral expression and then also include a full view shot that shows the front, right side view, left side view and back of the character. The character is placed on a white background. Don't include any text. No borders, no soft gradients. [CLOTHING DESCRIPTION]\",
      \"video_prompt\": \"VIDEO_SCENE_DESCRIPTION\",
      \"input_seed\": -1
    }
  }" | jq -r '.run_id')

echo "Run ID: $RUN_ID"

---

Polling for Results#

bash

while true; do
  RESULT=$(curl -s "https://api.comfydeploy.com/api/run/$RUN_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $COMFY_DEPLOY_API_KEY")
  STATUS=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r '.status')
  echo "Status: $STATUS"
  if [ "$STATUS" = "success" ]; then
    echo $RESULT | jq '.outputs'
    break
  elif [ "$STATUS" = "failed" ]; then
    echo "Failed!"
    break
  fi
  sleep 10
done

---

Step 3 — Poll & Download Results#

bash

# Poll until success
while true; do
  RESULT=$(curl -s "https://api.comfydeploy.com/api/run/$RUN_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $COMFY_DEPLOY_API_KEY")
  STATUS=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r '.status')
  [ "$STATUS" = "success" ] && break
  [ "$STATUS" = "failed" ] && echo "FAILED" && break
  sleep 15
done

# Download outputs to allowed directory
mkdir -p ~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling
BASE_URL="https://comfy-deploy-output.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/outputs/runs/$RUN_ID"
curl -sL "$BASE_URL/CS_2_00001_.png" -o ~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling/character-sheet.png
curl -sL "$BASE_URL/ITEM_00001_.png" -o ~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling/item-sheet.png
curl -sL "$BASE_URL/LOCATION_00001_.png" -o ~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling/location-sheet.png
curl -sL "$BASE_URL/ComfyUI_00001_.mp4" -o ~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling/video.mp4

Step 4 — Send Results as Files#

ALWAYS send as file attachments using filePath — NEVER send raw URLs.

message(action=send, channel=telegram, target=USER_ID, filePath=~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling/character-sheet.png, message="Character Sheet")
message(action=send, channel=telegram, target=USER_ID, filePath=~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling/item-sheet.png, message="Item Sheet")
message(action=send, channel=telegram, target=USER_ID, filePath=~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling/location-sheet.png, message="Location Sheet")
message(action=send, channel=telegram, target=USER_ID, filePath=~/clawd/output/cinematic-kling/video.mp4, message="🎬 Video")

---

Typical Run Time#

~3–5 minutes (character sheet generation + Kling video generation)

---

Use Cases#

• Product ads: character using/wearing the item in a branded location
• Short films: character interacting with a prop in a cinematic environment
• Music videos: artist + instrument/prop + stage/location
• Fashion: model wearing clothing item in a specific setting
• Gaming/dystopian: character in Last-of-Us style with game item in post-apocalyptic location

---

Notes#

• The character_sheet_prompt fixed portion must never be modified — only the [brackets]
• input_seed: -1 = random each time; set a fixed integer to reproduce results
• 5 seconds is the fixed video length
• Outputs come from ComfyDeploy's built-in S3 storage — no manual upload needed
