    "why": "A single short video involves character design, shot breakdown, asset generation and editing. ArcReel joins those into one pipeline you can pause and resume. Reference images are reused across shots so faces stay consistent, and any single asset can be regenerated or rolled back.",
    "take": "The generation itself happens in outside AI models; ArcReel manages the process around them. Its real value is keeping one character consistent across shots while the cost stays visible.",
    "build": [
      "Python, AGPL-3.0. Content analysis, asset management, storyboarding, media generation, cost tracking and export are organised as one auditable pipeline, with the models configured by you and spend tracked per item."
