# Hitchcock - AI-Powered Movie Production Pipeline

Hitchcock is an innovative multi-agent system that automates the movie production pipeline from script to screen. Built with modern AI technologies, it orchestrates specialized agents to handle different aspects of movie production, from scriptwriting to audio synthesis.

🏆 **Winner of the [ElevenLabs Worldwide Hackathon](https://hackathon.elevenlabs.io/) in Bengaluru!**

## 🎯 Key Features

- **Automated Script Generation**: AI-powered script creation with deep research capabilities
- **Intelligent Story Boarding**: Automated scene breakdown and shot planning
- **Visual Element Planning**: Comprehensive planning of lighting, props, and atmosphere
- **Audio Synthesis**: Voice generation and audio management
- **Multi-Agent Architecture**: Specialized agents built using [Mahilo](https://github.com/wjayesh/mahilo/), a powerful multi-agent framework that enables seamless agent-to-agent communication
- **Modern Tech Stack**: Built with Python 3.8+, using cutting-edge AI and media processing libraries

  - Script structure analysis
- **Tools**:
  - Web browsing and research tools
  - Text analysis and inspection
  - Scene generation and analysis
  - Research agent for deep context gathering

### 2. Story Boarding Agent
- **Purpose**: Converts scripts into detailed visual plans
- **Capabilities**:
  - Scene importance analysis
  - Shot sequence planning
  - Visual element specification
  - Camera angle and movement planning
- **Features**:
  - Automatic scene breakdown
  - Shot-by-shot planning
  - Lighting and atmosphere specification
  - Prop and special effect planning
  - Database integration for state management

### 3. Director of Photography (DOP) Agent
- **Purpose**: Handles visual implementation of story boards
- **Capabilities**:
  - Text-to-image generation
  - Scene composition
  - Visual continuity management
  - Lighting implementation
- **Features**:
  - Image generation services
  - Video sequence creation
  - Visual style consistency
  - Configuration management

### 4. Audio Agent
- **Purpose**: Manages audio synthesis and voice generation
- **Capabilities**:
  - Voice synthesis using Eleven Labs
  - Audio storage and retrieval
  - Voice consistency management
- **Features**:
  - Character voice generation
  - Audio file management
  - Integration with video pipeline

## 🚀 Getting Started

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- `uv` package manager

### Installation

1. Install uv:
```bash
pip install uv
```

2. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ayushnangia/Hitchcock
cd hitchcock
```

3. Set up the environment:
```bash
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Unix
# or
.venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows
```

4. Install dependencies:
```bash
uv pip sync requirements.txt
```

### Configuration
0. Fix Mahilo in venv
add in mahilo/agent.py

in process_queue_message and process_chat_message function add
```python
                try:
                    if function_name == "contact_human":
                        function_response = await function_to_call(**function_args, websockets=websockets)

elif function_name == "generate_shot_images":
                        function_response = await function_to_call(**function_args)
```

1. Configure environment variables:
```bash
cp .env.template .env
# Edit .env with your API keys and configurations
```
2. Always Remove old db and sessions
```bash
sh run_db_dele.sh
```

3. Start the control plane:
```bash
python control_plane.py
```

4. Once the control plane is running, you can start interacting with the agents using the Mahilo CLI. Begin with the StoryWriterAgent:
```bash
mahilo connect --agent-name StoryWriterAgent
```

This will open an interactive chat session with the StoryWriterAgent. You can similarly connect to other agents:
```bash
mahilo connect --agent-name StoryBoarderAgent
mahilo connect --agent-name DOPAgent
mahilo connect --agent-name AudioAgent
```
