Storyboard to film
The canvas’s deepest pipeline: a written brief becomes a finished, assembled video, with every stage inspectable and re-runnable along the way.
The recipe
Section titled “The recipe”- Develop the writing — run the cinematic chain: brief → Brief Interpreter → Screenwriter → Shot List Director. Read and edit between stages; fixing the interpreted brief is cheaper than regenerating a wrong script.
- Establish the look — generate canonical stills of your character and key environments with Image Gen + references, and keep them as project references (reference discipline is what holds the film together shot to shot).
- Generate per shot — for each shot-list entry, render with Video Gen: exact start/end frames for storyboarded moments, or the reference kit when the shot needs a camera move and an element set.
- Approve takes — generate variants per shot and approve the keepers; approval is what marks a take as the take.
- Assemble — the assemble step concatenates the approved shots, in shot order, into one video.
- Shots are the unit of iteration. A weak shot gets re-run and re-approved; the rest of the film doesn’t move.
- Add a voice-over branch — wire the screenwriter’s script into TTS (or perform it and voice-swap it).
- Draft the whole film on a fast video tier to check rhythm, then re-render only the shots that survive review at final quality — cost habits matter most on this pipeline.
