UGC Content Factory

Generate authentic-feeling UGC content at scale with consistent AI characters.

Use this skill when: You need UGC-style video content (testimonials, reviews, unboxings, demos) without hiring real creators.

The unlock: Kling 3.0's Elements system (via fal.ai) locks character identity across multiple videos. Combined with multi-shot storyboards and native lip-sync, you can generate an entire UGC library with consistent "creators."

Director-First Pipeline

Key principle: Visuals before script. Design how each shot looks and moves FIRST, then write dialogue that fits. The script serves the visuals, not the other way around.

MODULE A: Creative Director → Creative Brief → GATE 1 (user approves) │ MODULE B: Cinematographer → Visual Beat Sheet → GATE 2 (user approves) │ MODULE C: Screenwriter → Synchronized Script → GATE 3 (user approves) │ MODULE D: Engineer → fal.ai JSON + Execute → Output

Variable durations: Each shot can be 3s, 4s, or 5s. Hooks are punchy (3s), demos breathe (5s). Total must sum to target duration.

Before You Start: Existing Assets Check

Before entering the pipeline, ASK the user:

• "Do you have an existing character to reuse? (Provide Element image URL)"

• "Do you have product images to use as Elements? (Provide image URL)"

• "Do you have a seed frame / first-frame image? (Provide image URL)"

If yes → use those URLs in the pipeline. If no → new images will be generated with Nano Banana Pro via /ai-image-generation .

Check references/CHARACTER_LIBRARY.md for any previously saved characters/products.

How to Execute

Phase A: Creative Director

Read references/MODULE_A_CREATIVE_DIRECTOR.md before proceeding.

Also load for reference:

• references/CHARACTER_LIBRARY.md (character archetypes + saved characters)

• references/SCENE_SETTINGS.md (setting options)

Tasks:

• Select content format (Testimonial, Unboxing, Problem/Solution, Comparison, Demo)

• Choose hook angle (Gatekeep, Skeptic, Fail, Visual Shock)

• Select character archetype and setting (or reuse saved character)

• Run Stealth Validation (4 mandatory checks)

• Present Creative Brief to user

⛔ GATE 1: Present Creative Brief. STOP. Wait for user approval before proceeding.

Phase B: Cinematographer

Read references/MODULE_B_CINEMATOGRAPHER.md before proceeding.

Tasks:

• Design shot-by-shot visual sequence (NO dialogue)

• Assign variable durations (3s/4s/5s per shot)

• Apply Kling prompt engineering (6 elements, 4 rules)

• Verify scene variety (2-of-4 position/angle changes)

• Generate seed images if using I2V workflow (Nano Banana Pro via /ai-image-generation — use Photorealistic Pre-Prompt)

• Present Visual Beat Sheet to user

⛔ GATE 2: Present Visual Beat Sheet. STOP. Wait for user approval before proceeding.

Phase C: Screenwriter

Read references/MODULE_C_SCREENWRITER.md before proceeding.

Tasks:

• Calculate word budget per shot (~2.5 words/sec)

• Write dialogue fitted to shot durations

• Apply 4 Audio Rules (sync, cadence, room sound, bridge)

• Map script to Beat Sheet (script-to-beat-sheet template)

• Run script quality check

• Present Synchronized Script to user

⛔ GATE 3: Present Synchronized Script. STOP. Wait for user approval before proceeding.

Phase D: Engineer

Read references/MODULE_D_ENGINEER.md before proceeding.

Tasks:

• Assemble Visual Beat Sheet + Script into multi_prompt JSON

• Run compilation checklist

• Submit to fal.ai (standard for test, pro for final)

• Use queue endpoint for anything over 5 seconds

• Present output with quality check

Character Setup (One-Time)

Before first video with a new character:

• Define persona brief (see CHARACTER_LIBRARY.md)

• Generate 3-5 reference images via Nano Banana Pro (/ai-image-generation ) — use Photorealistic Pre-Prompt from MODULE_B

• Select best reference image(s)

• Upload to fal.ai Kling 3.0 Elements

• Save character to CHARACTER_LIBRARY.md "Saved Characters" section for reuse

The 80/20

80% of UGC success comes from:

• Right character for target audience

• Specific, genuine-sounding script (not marketing speak)

• Appropriate casual setting (not studio)

• Strong hook in first 2 seconds

Get these right and the rest is optimization.

Quick Tips

Do:

• Lead with imperfection — slightly off framing, natural pauses, filler words

• Use specific details — "3 weeks" not "a while"

• Match character to audience demographic

• Keep it short — 15-30 seconds, not 60+

Don't:

• Over-polish — if it looks like an ad, it fails

• Use marketing language — "revolutionary" = instant scroll-past

• Skip the visual design phase — visuals drive everything

• Fight the shot durations — adapt the script to the visuals
