What problem does it solve?
It prevents AI-generated websites from feeling generic, template-driven, or under-directed by forcing a film-and-director research workflow that turns cinematic grammar into implementable page structure, composition, and motion.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Director + Film research to emotional design inputs: selects a specific director and film, then extracts lighting, framing, rhythm, materiality, and motion behavior as the source of the UI language.
- Storyboard-first planning: produces
decisions.md, storyboard.md, compiled-spec.md, and only then generates implementation from a compiled, library-cited spec.
- Demo Uniqueness Protocol: audits prior outputs and enforces a wireframe-level uniqueness guardrail using a shell-ban list and primary composition family separation.
- Anti-garbage and premium calibration: runs constraints that reject common AI design degeneration (feed-like grids, repeated entrances, effect-sampler motion, generic hero gradients).
- When to use: use for cinematic landing pages, movie-style UI direction, director-inspired product storytelling, and requests framed around film/noir, sci-fi, romance, thriller, action, animation aesthetics.
Quick Start
Use cinematic-ui to design a homepage where you pick a director and a specific film, complete the start questionnaire, then generate decisions.md, storyboard.md, and compiled-spec.md before writing any frontend code.
