The Prompt
Create a {shot_count}-shot storyboard for a {video_type} about {topic}.

For each shot, provide:
1. **Shot number and duration** (3-5 seconds each)
2. **Subject and action** — describe exactly what moves
3. **Camera** — movement, angle, lens
4. **Lighting and color grade** — keep consistent across shots
5. **Transitions** — how each shot connects to the next
6. **Audio note** — music mood or SFX at that moment

Global style reference: {style_reference}. Keep {consistency_element} consistent across all shots.

Customize This Prompt

Fill in the variables and the prompt updates automatically.

Example Input

shot_count: 6, video_type: 30-second brand ad, topic: launching a new espresso machine, style_reference: warm minimalism like Apple ads, consistency_element: the product and the teal background

Example Output

A 6-shot storyboard with per-shot timing, motion description, camera moves, consistent lighting, transitions, and audio cues — ready to feed into Runway or Veo.

Why This Prompt Works

Requiring the consistency element and global style per shot is what keeps AI-generated clips from feeling disjointed when assembled.

Tips for Best Results

  • Keep motion descriptions simple — AI video struggles with complex action.
  • Generate each shot separately with the same style prefix.
  • Use the storyboard as the prompt template for each clip.

Common Mistakes

  • Multiple moving subjects in one shot.
  • Changing lighting between shots (breaks continuity).
