The Weekly Briefing / Week 44 · Oct 26–Nov 1

A week of headlines in.One anime briefing out.

Every week, five headlines, one episode. Anime News writes the storyboard, renders a start frame and a Seedance shot for every beat through Comfy Router, and cuts it like an anime briefing. It runs on your machine with your own Comfy API key.

Rundown

How it works

Four segments, one pass. A one-minute episode is about ten shots rendered in parallel.

01
Headlines
Paste a headline or a week's worth of headlines, plus the article text or link if you have it. Pick a length from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

02
Storyboard
One writer call turns it into a cast, scenes and shots: a deadpan anchor, the thesis, the absurd literal cutaways. Edit any of it.

03
Stills + Seedance shots
Every shot gets its own FLUX start frame, then a Seedance clip: talking takes with their own voice, action takes with motion.
