Just built myself a storyboard tool — goes straight from a single sentence to a full set of shot prompts in one go.

The most annoying part of writing video prompts isn’t not knowing how to write—it’s keeping the style, camera angles, and lighting consistent across a sequence of shots. By the time I’m handwriting the fifth shot, it all falls apart. So I just built my own little tool: you throw in a story outline, it breaks it down into individual shots based on storyboard logic, and automatically fills in the full shot type, camera movement, lighting, and atmosphere for each one. The output is a ready-to-use set of prompts that you can feed straight into the model.

The core idea is to turn that director’s storyboard framework into a fixed template, so the machine handles the consistency while you only worry about the creative tweaks—no more copying formats. The biggest efficiency boost I’ve seen is with long shot sequences; what used to take half an hour now takes a few minutes. If anyone needs this, you can build your own following the same logic—it’s not that complicated.

As soon as you add more characters, the style falls apart—so true. This tool is exactly what I need to fix that.

Long shot sequences really are the most labor-intensive. Anyone got a detailed workflow setup guide?

Basically it’s offloading the coherence constraints to the template. Smart move.

Oh man, I’d love to have auto-complete for shot types and camera movements too.

Got a half-hour job done in a few minutes, so damn satisfying.

Long shot sequences are the most labor-intensive, +1. I’d love to get my hands on that auto-complete template for shot framing and camera movement too.
