# Storyboard

> Visual scene planning with AI image generation

## Overview

Storyboards break your script into visual scenes. Each scene contains shots with compositions, camera angles, and AI-generated images.

## Storyboard Structure

```
Project
└── Scenes
    └── Shots
        ├── Image (generated)
        ├── Shot type
        ├── Action description
        ├── Dialogue
        └── Video prompt
```

## Scene Elements

| Element       | Purpose                          |
| ------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Scene Title   | Scene identifier                 |
| Script Text   | Dialogue and action              |
| Visual Assets | Character refs, locations, props |
| Shots         | Individual frames/compositions   |

## Shot Types

| Type              | Use For               |
| ----------------- | --------------------- |
| Extreme Close-Up  | Eyes, hands, details  |
| Close-Up          | Face, object          |
| Medium Shot       | Waist up              |
| Full Shot         | Full body             |
| Wide Shot         | Environment + subject |
| Establishing Shot | Location context      |
| Over-the-Shoulder | Conversations         |
| POV Shot          | Character perspective |

## AI Image Generation

Generate images for each shot using 20+ AI models.

### In Storyboard

1. Select a shot
2. Write or use AI-generated prompt
3. Choose model (Flux Schnell for drafts, Imagen 4 for quality)
4. Generate and iterate

### Character Consistency

Use multi-reference models to maintain character appearance:

| Model         | Max Refs | Credits |
| ------------- | -------- | ------- |
| SeedDream 4   | 10       | 3       |
| Flux 2 Pro    | 8        | 6       |
| GPT-Image-1.5 | 16       | 13      |

Add character reference images to your project's Visual Assets, then reference them in prompts.

## Creative Director Agent

The AI Creative Director helps with:

* Shot composition suggestions
* Camera angle recommendations
* Visual style consistency
* Scene breakdown from script

### How to Use

1. Open Storyboard Editor
2. Click "Consult AI Film Crew"
3. Select Creative Director
4. Ask for shot planning help
5. Apply suggestions to your storyboard

## Aspect Ratios

Storyboards support:

* 16:9 - Landscape (YouTube, TV)
* 9:16 - Portrait (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
* 1:1 - Square (Instagram)

Set aspect ratio per project; all shots maintain consistency.

## Editing Features

* Drag-and-drop scene reordering
* Add/delete/duplicate scenes
* Shot-level editing
* Style templates (visual overlays)
* Sound design options per scene

## From Script to Storyboard

1. Import script or write in Script Editor
2. Break into scenes - AI can suggest scene breaks
3. Add shots - Plan camera coverage
4. Generate images - Create visual for each shot
5. Add prompts - Write video generation prompts
6. Review flow - Check visual continuity

## Storyboard Tips

Plan your coverage

* Wide shot to establish
* Medium for action
* Close-up for emotion

Think in transitions

* How does shot A connect to shot B?
* What movement carries between shots?

Reference your characters

* Keep character images consistent
* Use multi-ref models for important characters
