Storyboarding short videos

Notes kept on gitea.thpeetz.de about using Raphael AI, a free AI image generator that runs in the browser.

Before filming a 30-second clip, I sketch each shot. Raphael AI turns shot descriptions into rough frames:

Tips

1. Lay the frames out in order to check pacing before recording anything.
2. Use the frames as a shot list on set.
3. Discard frames once the real footage exists; they are planning material only.
4. One prompt per shot: framing, subject, action (close-up, hands typing, night).
5. Keep the same character description across prompts to reduce drift.

Why Raphael AI

• Free to use, with no install: open https://raphael.app and type a prompt.
• Fast iterations make it practical to try several compositions.
• Works for drafts, mock-ups and reference images; finish important assets with human review.

Responsible use

Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
