Can You Really Storyboard a Feature-Length Film with AI?

🧩 Why Feature Films Need Storyboards (Now More Than Ever)

Storyboards are the visual backbone of your film.
They help with:

• Prepping shot lists

• Communicating with crew

• Budgeting

• Pitching investors or streamers

• Staying sane in production

 

But drawing 800+ panels by hand? Yikes. 😩

🤖 How AI Makes It Not Just Possible — But Easy

With Storyboarder.ai, here’s how filmmakers are pulling off full-length boards without hiring a small army of artists:

---

1. 📄 Upload your full screenplay

Yes, the whole thing. Storyboarder.ai supports long-form script uploads (not just 10-pagers).

---

2. 🧠 Let AI break it into scenes and shots

Automatically convert your script into a scene-by-scene shotlist, ready to visualize.

---

3. 🎨 Generate images per scene

You can go one-by-one or go through your story sequence by sequence. Apply a consistent art style and character look throughout.

---

4. 🧍 Keep characters consistent

No face-swapping weirdness here — just use saved character prompts or upload a ref image. Boom, continuity.

---

5. 🎥 Create an animatic

Got your scenes? Turn them into an image-to-video animatic right inside the tool.

---

6. 📦 Export it all

Need a full storyboard PDF? A ZIP of all images? An editable shotlist? One-click export, ready for your pitch deck or crew prep.

📽 Real Example: 100-Page Script = 1,200+ Boards

We’ve had filmmakers storyboard entire features — we’re talking over 1,200 images, dozens of scenes, and full visual plans done in days (not months).

“We storyboarded a 80 minute fantasy film with consistent characters and camera setups — pitched it to our partners and used it for production. In days instead of months.“
— Marvin Litwak – Director & Producer at Sally Forth Cinema
