Questions
- Is this just a chatbot with pictures?
- A chat hands you a list and leaves the directing to you. This hands you one sheet: twelve frames in order, each carrying its shot type, framing, duration and light, with a named cut between every pair: hard cut, cut on action, match cut. You can walk onto a shoot with it.
- Can I change the frames?
- Not one frame at a time. What you steer is the story: before anything is drawn you pick between a few directions the idea could take, and you can rewrite the brief and generate the sheet again.
- Do I have to type it out?
- No, there is a mic. Describe the shoot out loud, the way you would tell a friend what you have in mind, and it goes through the same pipeline as typed text.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing to start. The app is in early access: sign up and make storyboards, up to a limit. A paid tier is coming for people who shoot a lot, and the price will be on this page before it switches on.
