Section 1
The big idea
Stop-motion takes a long time. Planning the shots first with AI saves hours. A storyboard is just little drawings of what each scene will look like.
Some examples
- Tell AI your story: 'A LEGO knight chases a sock dragon up the stairs'
- Ask for a 6-shot storyboard with simple sketches
- Use the sketches as a checklist while filming
- AI cannot move your toys, but it can save you from filming the wrong thing
Try it!
Write a 6-shot stop-motion idea using toys you have, and have AI sketch the storyboard.
