Reposted by Citizen Platano 🇵🇷dorian @doriantaylor.com · 30/09/2026i mean in some ways tokens are the new film stock; up until agents "how long will it take?" and "how much will it cost?" were roughly in a linear relationship; now it's who even knows what (it's also what i've been working on recently, that's what this is all about) 001
Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026all this to say it was always a good idea to know a variety of things. and creative skills are often their own reward but it’s an extra rewarding time to learn how to express yourself, thoroughly and rigorously. the better your reflexes there, the more effective these tools become 0170
Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026and I must imagine there’s loads of token spend that’s just sunk into poor planning the discipline of taking longer to know the game you’re trying to shape pays off loads of ways bsky.app/profile/dori... 2150
Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026yeah, being able to describe CONSEQUENCE and think through it has loads of extra power now especially if you’re comfortable structuring it the practice from screenwriting was super helpful too! 010
Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026one of the strange things about the agent age is that the conventional engineering insights still have relevance but they’re also not quite enough. everyone with a gift for communication, narrative, planning, prototyping… suddenly has all new leverage 2212

Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026every frame was cash money, so you wanted every frame to cash so preparation was everything now, in the agent age, this training ends up being really valuable, quite unexpectedly because it’s the process of decomposing a goal into concrete steps of narrative expression of guiding artifacts 1171
Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026why do all this fuck about? why go to all this trouble instead of winging on the day? well, there’s a grand tradition here from another age. the moment celluloid started flying across the gate of the camera, you are essentially flinging dollar bills out of a cannon at many multiples per second 1181
Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026there’s more. you plan camera setups, you do lighting and camera tests the act of pre-production does two essential jobs: you’re testing the premise of the vision in your mind and you’re making that vision legible to other people. making the fuzzy into the concrete. disposable expression 2161
Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026there are loads of things you can do in the pre-production phase some of it is writing. you’re gonna write the script and you’re gonna edit the script, reworking it, looking for seams and creakiness then you’re going to break it into storyboards: sketches of what the camera sees and how it moves 1181
Citizen Platano 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 30/09/2026the most important part of making a film, I learned—sometimes the hard way is “pre-production” and it’s the most important part because it’s the cheapest part. it’s more or less free. the only equipment it requires is a pencil and a keyboard nothing to rent, no one to pay, just time and plans 2241
