Cinematic Standoff — The Skill + Tutorial

Put any two characters face-to-face in a cinematic, fog-and-firelight standoff — built by AI from a single line.

Cinematic Standoff is a Claude Desktop skill that turns "run the standoff with [Character A] vs [Character B]" into a finished 16-second, 4K face-off video. It builds each shot one at a time and waits for your approval, then stitches the scenes, syncs the soundtrack, and drops in the "YOU" title card.

Includes: the self-contained skill + a step-by-step video tutorial.

You'll need: Claude Desktop with Cowork, and a Higgsfield account with credits.
