Storyboard Prompts

Workflow

1. Read core contract, STORYBOARD_PIPELINE.md, dramaturgy rules, film grammar, continuity, visual bible, reference manifest, shot briefs, and model routing.
2. Select adaptive narrative anchors. Choose only moments that establish, change, reveal, pressure, transition, or pay off something the sequence needs.
3. Write 03_preproduction/storyboards/anchors.jsonl and keep 03_preproduction/storyboard_plan.md as the human-readable index.
4. Build 03_preproduction/storyboards/beat_board.jsonl from approved anchors. Lock shared identity, location, light-source logic, optical character, palette behavior, aspect ratio, and references before model adaptation.
5. Expand only anchors that need temporal clarification into 03_preproduction/storyboards/sequence_boards/. Use the minimum frames needed to show start state, decisive action/gaze change, and end or cut state.
6. Check 180-degree axis, eyeline match, screen direction, match on action, prop handoffs, entrances/exits, and physical plausibility.
7. Write model-neutral still briefs to 04_generation/image_briefs.jsonl and motion handoff records to 03_preproduction/storyboards/motion_handoff.jsonl when video generation needs them. When a shot has end_frame.required = true, make that endpoint inspectable in the sequence board or motion handoff. If an approved last-frame image becomes authoritative, register it as a REF-### with role last frame.
8. When one edit would overload composition, environment/style, and identity constraints, use staged reference grounding: establish composition, then environment/style, then character/prop identity. Record the prompt, seed when applicable, input references, authority scopes, and candidate output for each pass.
9. Adapt with krea-2 for exploratory boards or qwen-image-2512 for locked production frames. Use qwen-image-edit-2511 to revise an established frame while preserving approved identity or composition.
10. A generated panel is a candidate, not approval. If alternatives are generated, use take-selection before downstream work treats one as authoritative.

Done

The storyboard advances progressively from approved narrative intent to readable visual state, difficult motion is exposed before video prompting, and every generated frame remains traceable to its anchor and shot.
