# Runway Reference Architecture

## Overview
Implementation patterns for Runway reference architecture — AI video generation platform.

## Prerequisites
- Completed `runway-install-auth` setup

## Instructions

### Step 1: SDK Pattern
```python
from runwayml import RunwayML

client = RunwayML()

task = client.image_to_video.create(
    model='gen3a_turbo',
    prompt_text='A serene lake at dawn, mist rising, birds flying',
    duration=5,
)
result = task.wait_for_task_output()
if result.status == 'SUCCEEDED':
    print(f"Video: {result.output[0]}")
```

## Output
- Runway integration for reference architecture
