Storyboard and previsualization direction

Use this skill when a user needs to plan what a video, film, ad, animation, social cut, product piece, or generated-media sequence should look like before expensive production or generation begins. The deliverable may be text-only shot boards, illustrated boards, an animatic, 3D previs, techvis, or a generation-ready prompt plan.

Do not start by making polished images. Start by proving the sequence works: story beat, geography, framing, action, cut, duration, audio, and continuity.

Evidence classes to keep separate

• Documented facts: cite or name the source when relying on platform specs, professional tool behavior, review-tool features, or production terminology.
• Empirical observations: label anything learned from inspecting a reference, prototype, generated output, or test render.
• Production heuristics: use as judgment aids, not universal laws. Explain why the heuristic fits the current brief.

Volatile facts such as platform aspect ratios, upload lengths, ad specs, model duration limits, generation features, or pricing must be rechecked for the current project. Source examples in this skill were verified on 2026-07-10.
