American Alchemy Reenactment · storyboard v1 Scott & Suzanne Ramsey Pre-script

HART
CANYON.

Aztec, New Mexico  ·  25 March 1948

The whole film, before the script. Two acts, fourteen scenes, one hundred and thirty-three shots, cut to exactly twenty minutes — and every one of those shots rendered as a frame so you can read the picture instead of the paragraph. Act I is the crash. Act II is what the government, an oilman and a reporter did about it afterwards.

This clip was generated entirely on my own computer

ComfyUI + MiniMax H3, running locally. Open source, no API, no credits — a completely free generation. The still underneath it came out of Krea 2 on the same machine. Every shot on this page can be taken to motion the same way.

The film

Every shot, as a picture

All 133 frames were generated locally on Krea 2 Turbo through ComfyUI — 8 steps, cfg 1, with a Kodachrome 64 LoRA carrying the 1948 emulsion. They are a skeleton: staging, lensing, light and colour are real, but the craft and the faces are not yet locked, so the disc changes slightly between shots. That lock is the next phase, and it is deliberately not done before you have seen the story read end to end.
