Storyboard Video Previs
Overview
Use this skill to turn a story or theme into a video ready storyboard prompt. The goal is not to summarize the story, but to design the viewing experience: composition, panel rhythm, camera grammar, motion continuity, emotional escalation, annotation language, and final image prompt.
References
Load references/shot-language.md when the task needs camera vocabulary, shot variation, annotation symbols, or motion design.
Load references/storyboard-formats.md when choosing panel count, grid structure, beat rhythm, or adapting the storyboard to action, dance, horror, dialogue, ad, music video, or experimental styles.
Workflow
-
Infer or confirm the production target. Use the user supplied target if present. Otherwise default to a single 16:9 storyboard sheet, 12 panels for most stories, 16 panels for action or dance sequences, rough hand drawn cinematic previs style, and a consolidated image generation prompt.
-
Extract the story engine. Identify protagonist, desire, obstacle, emotional arc, setting, key prop or motif, motion vocabulary, visual contrast, and final beat. Keep this short and operational.
