How to Create Videos from Storyboards: A Step-by-Step Method from Storyboarding to Animation
OpenAI
The author shares a method for creating narrative videos using two neural networks: first, a storyboard is generated, then it is transformed frame by frame into video. The process is described in detail using the example of a story about a sneaker coming to life, including prompts for both stages.
The author describes a problem: when generating video directly from a single text prompt, the model confuses plot and visual quality. The solution is to split the process into two stages. First, a storyboard is created—a single image with several numbered panels, each describing an individual frame. For this, an image generator is used (e.g., ChatGPT with GPT Image). Then, the video is generated: each storyboard panel is turned into a separate frame with motion, camera work, and sound. For the video, the author used the Seedance 2 service (and Seedance 2 mini) with a 4:5 aspect ratio. As an example, a full story about a sneaker coming to life is provided: at night in a store, a sneaker wakes up, runs out to explore the city, and returns before opening. Full prompts for both stages are included. The author emphasizes that the method is universal and suitable for any style or genre.
