SpriteStage: Long Horizon Animation Generation via Progressive Scene Programming and Replay

We present SpriteStage, a progressive scene programming framework that builds animation through iterative enactment and engine reorchestration.

Key points

  • Video generation models synthesize visual sequences from text and image inputs.
  • Extending video generation to long animations requires actions, dialogue, camera coverage, and narrative developments to remain coordinated across scenes.
  • Constructing an entire story before observing its execution can leave later scenes dependent on unrealized events.
  • Iterative enactment generates each scene from an accepted world checkpoint and narrative snapshot, executes it on a shared spatial stage, and uses runtime and visual feedback to revise the relevant actions or story beats.
