In one implementation, a method includes: identifying a first plot-within a scene associated with a portion of video content; synthesizing a scene description for the scene that corresponds to a trajectory of the first plot-effectuator within a setting associated with the scene and actions performed by the first plot-effectuator; and generating a corresponding synthesized reality (SR) reconstruction of the scene by driving a first digital asset associated with the first plot-effectuator according to the scene description for the scene.
