Approve the storyboard

How to read the director's storyboard, change it in the chat, and give the go that starts the film.

Before anything is filmed or charged, the director shows you the storyboard: each beat of the film, what is on screen, and the line the voice says over it.

Reading the storyboard

  • Beats in order. Each beat has a length in seconds, what the viewer sees, and the narration line.
  • The ending. The last beat is the close: your name, one line, and where to go.
  • What it costs. When the director asks for your go, it says what the next step costs in credits.

Each beat: its length, what is on screen, and the line the voice says over it.

Changing it

Reply in the chat with what to change. Be specific about which beat:

Prompt
Keep the storyboard, but in beat <3> say <the new line> and show <what should be on screen>.

The director rewrites the storyboard and shows it again. Repeat until it is right.

Giving the go

When it reads right, say so in plain words, for example "Approved, go ahead." The director only starts filming, designing or rendering after a clear go in your latest message.

The director confirming the go and listing what is now in motion: filming the site, writing the launch plan, then the render
After the go, the director says what is now running, and offers voice samples to pick from.
TipFollow the work in the Tasks tab: what is running, what is done and what comes next. You get an email when the film is ready.
