Script-to-storyboard workflow
Build a comic storyboard before planning the video
Turn a short story into an ordered comic storyboard. Define shot purpose, character state and transitions, then use the reviewed sequence to plan video.
Model
This creator generates a still image. Continue in the linked tools for comics and video; research strategies are not selectable production modes.

Original generation prompt
Use case: photorealistic-natural / product-mockup. Candid editorial PHOTOGRAPH of a finished comic storyboard planning set in a quiet home studio. The provided original six-panel greenhouse story is only the paper content insert reference. On a real pale wooden table, arrange exactly SIX small landscape comic cards in a carefully spaced THREE-column by TWO-row sequence matching the source page: arrival, pot on bench, seed detail, watering, seedling reaction, final greenhouse view. Preserve the recognizable original adult botanist's teal jacket/coral scarf and round mint robot, coherent terra-cotta pot and greenhouse. Beside the six cards lies one thin closed cream booklet showing the complete same six-panel page on its cover, with no added title. Exactly TWO adult hands near the outside lower corners are arranging the cards by their blank margins, anatomically normal and not covering the story. No faces, text, numbers, writing, labels, arrows, app interface, invented metrics, boxes or third-party IP. Six cards and coordinated booklet fill about 80 percent of frame, believable paper, soft daylight and contact shadows. Landscape 3:2.

From an empty pot to a new seedling
Plan six beats: arrive at the greenhouse, place a pot on the bench, show the seed, water the planting, react to a later seedling and end with the greenhouse view. Use the board to decide what the reader must know at each point.
What to prepare
- A short script with the beginning, change and ending identified.
- An original botanist reference and a simple greenhouse location plan.
- A note tracking the terracotta pot, scarf, robot position and the intended passage of time.

Original generation prompt
Use case: illustration-story. Make ONE original finished comic page in a clean three-column by two-row grid, exactly SIX equally sized panels, narrow even ivory gutters and complete outer margins. The provided image is the character identity and wardrobe reference, not a page to copy. Preserve its adult botanist with warm brown skin, short dark curly hair, teal jacket, coral scarf, sand trousers, brown boots, and round mint helper robot with two dark eyes and exactly one short antenna. Quiet elegant ink-and-watercolor comic style, teal/coral/sage/ochre palette. Tell a very simple readable rooftop greenhouse planting story: panel1 wide view botanist and robot arrive at the greenhouse carrying a small terra-cotta pot; panel2 medium view the botanist places the pot on the wooden bench; panel3 close view gloved adult hands holding a seed above the pot; panel4 medium view botanist and robot water the pot with a small cream watering can; panel5 close view botanist and robot look at the tiny seedling; panel6 wide view both stand by the finished row of three potted seedlings in afternoon light. All people are adults; each scene has one botanist and one robot unless only hands are framed. The pot remains terra-cotta, the greenhouse stays structurally coherent, identity and outfit remain recognizable. No writing, numbers, logos, speech balloons, captions, lettering, illegible marks, third-party characters, UI, photorealistic environment or claims of tested consistency. Landscape 3:2.
View full artworkUse each camera distance for a reason
A wide view establishes the greenhouse; a closer view reveals the clue. Repeating the same framing can conceal a change the story needs the reader to notice.
Track state through the sequence
The pot and character positions should agree across the planting actions. Make the later seedling a deliberate time change so growth is not mistaken for an accidental continuity error.
Plan the future cut
If the board will become video, note where a held frame, a cut or motion would support the beat. This is a planning choice, not a promise that a still-image model creates a finished clip.
A storyboard is an inexpensive place to discover an unclear story. Resolve the sequence before adding visual polish and motion.
A practical starting point
Reduce the story to visible beats
Write the setup, change and payoff as actions a reader can see. Give each planned panel one primary purpose.
Build a shot list with continuity notes
Record the camera distance, action, character positions, outfit and important props. Separate intended changes from details that should stay stable.
Review the board before polishing
Read the rough sequence in order and check it without explanatory narration. Adjust the order or framing before making more expensive images or clips.

From Personal Agent memory to better creative results
A Personal AI Agent uses permissioned, evolving context to help someone complete work over time. For comic creators, the challenge is not only remembering a character, but retrieving the right story state, controlling the next image and verifying a creator-approved result. CyaniModel explores the visual-workflow layer of this larger architecture; DeepStory, Agent Loop and Feedback Learning are distinct proposed responsibilities, not claims of a fully deployed personal agent.
Research direction
Research behind the workflow
Measure story alignment separately
We are exploring evaluations that distinguish recognizable characters from correct actions and coherent shot order. A consistent face does not prove that a sequence tells the intended story.
Reuse an approved identity without reusing the old action
Versioned references may help later shots retain the correct appearance. A reusable character asset and a final story panel serve different purposes.
Spend refinement effort where the board needs it
Review the rough sequence first, then compare generation strategies for difficult shots. Count all attempts and inspections when evaluating the cost of an accepted panel.
Research direction
Character Consistency Benchmark
How reliably does a character remain recognizable across changes in camera, pose, clothing and scene?
How we would evaluate it: Evaluate identity, wardrobe, character count, story alignment and total cost per accepted panel separately.
Research direction
Quality and Cost Routing
Can a simpler shot use a less expensive allowed model while meeting the same review standard?
How we would evaluate it: Include generation, inspection, repair and retry costs when counting accepted panels.
Research direction
Reusable Character Assets
Which identity views, outfits and scene assets can help a later shot without repeating an old story image?
How we would evaluate it: Track asset versions, useful reuse, preparation cost and errors caused by stale references.
Know the boundaries
- A written shot list cannot guarantee a coherent generated sequence without review.
- Still-panel research and video-model research do not establish an end-to-end released storyboard-to-animation feature.
- A generated board needs separate lettering, timing and output checks in the chosen finishing workflow.
Primary research informs these questions; it does not establish results for CyaniModel.
Frequently asked questions
How is a storyboard different from a finished comic page?
A storyboard prioritizes action, order and framing. A finished page also needs its final layout, artwork, lettering and publication checks. You can review the story before committing to those details.
How many panels should I start with?
Choose a small number that can express the setup, change and payoff. Add a panel when it supplies necessary information or timing, rather than filling a preset count.
Can I turn the storyboard into video later?
Use the reviewed panels as a shot plan and inspect the available comic-to-video tools. Each generated or edited clip needs its own identity, motion and transition review.
Can an asset cache repeat an old panel in a new story?
A useful research cache would distinguish identity and appearance references from final narrative images. Reusing a finished panel for a different action can preserve the wrong pose, prop state or story information.
