Your first 8-second MiniMax H3 take

H3 is 5–15 seconds, not a minute. The first take is a contract: who is in the frame, where they stand, what the light is, what the lens is, one verb, the ratio, and the one thing that must not drift. Everything else is a later cell.

If the sentence has “then”, you already wrote two takes. Cut until one adult does one thing. Paste the brief below, run once, and change a single variable on the retry.

Write one verb

If the sentence has “then”, it is two takes. Cut until one motion remains.

Run once, change one thing

If the face is wrong, keep the rest and name the face. If the camera is greedy, drop the orbit.
