AI Storyboard Generator

Upload a reference frame and describe the coverage you need — a shot sequence or a grid of camera angles. Made generates storyboard panels that keep characters, styling, and lighting consistent across shots.

Reference frame expanded into a grid of nine camera angles

9-angle grid

“Turn this frame into a 3x3 grid of nine camera angles of the same action, consistent characters and lighting.”

How to use AI Storyboard Generator

1
Upload the reference frame
One image that defines characters, styling, and lighting — a photo, render, or generated still.
2
Describe the coverage
Ask for a shot list (“wide, medium, close-up”) or a multi-angle grid of the same action.
3
Keep the anchors
Say “consistent characters, pose, and lighting” so only the camera changes between panels.
4
Iterate per panel
Regenerate individual shots that miss, keeping the reference frame as the constant.

9-angle grid

“Turn this frame into a 3x3 grid of nine camera angles of the same action, consistent characters and lighting.”

Storyboard sequence of wide, medium, and close-up shots

Shot sequence

“Make a three-panel sequence: wide establishing shot, medium two-shot, close-up reaction.”

Sketch style

“Render these storyboard panels in loose pencil-sketch style with framing notes.”

Low-angle hero shot generated from a reference frame

New angle

“Same scene from a low hero angle looking up at the subject.”

Overhead

“Show this scene from directly overhead, keeping everyone in position.”

Same storyboard frame in two different lighting treatments

Lighting options

“The same frame at golden hour so I can compare lighting directions.”

What people use it for

Shot planningExplore coverage — angles, framings, and sequences — before committing to a shoot or render.
Pitch decks and previsShow a scene’s visual plan with consistent characters instead of mismatched stock frames.
Music video and ad treatmentsBoard key moments from one styled reference so the whole treatment feels cast and lit.
Animatics groundworkGenerate panels to cut into a rough animatic before any production begins.

Generate storyboard panels from one frame

What it does

Input: One reference image (JPEG, PNG, or WebP) plus a description of the shots or angle grid
Output: PNG storyboard panel or multi-angle grid
How it works: Made sends your photo and the instruction to the Nano Banana 2 edit model on fal.ai and returns a PNG. When that provider is not configured, the edit falls back to Google’s Nano Banana on Replicate.
Access: Set up the request on this page. You sign in to run it, and each run is priced in credits before you start.

Formats and limits

Input formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP
Output format: PNG
Images per request: One reference frame
Consistency: Characters and lighting are anchored to the reference; some drift between panels is normal — regenerate outliers
Angles: New viewpoints are AI-imagined from the single reference, not true 3D camera moves

Questions about AI Storyboard Generator

What is a 9-angle grid and why would I use one?

It is one image containing a 3x3 grid of the same action seen from nine camera positions — wide, medium, close, high, low, and so on. Directors and editors use it to choose coverage at a glance before shooting or rendering anything. Ask for it directly: “a 3x3 grid of nine camera angles of this frame.”

Will characters stay consistent across panels?

The reference frame anchors identity, wardrobe, and lighting, and most panels hold them well. Some drift is normal — a hairstyle shifts, a prop moves. Regenerate the outlier panels rather than the whole board; the reference keeps everything else stable.

Are the new angles accurate to real camera geometry?

They are plausible, not surveyed — the model imagines what the scene looks like from positions it cannot see. For storyboarding and pitching that is exactly enough; for technical previs with measured lenses you would move to a 3D tool.

Can I get sketch-style boards instead of photorealistic ones?

Yes — say “loose pencil storyboard style” or “inked panels.” Sketch styles read more like working documents in a pitch, and they hide the small inconsistencies that photorealism exposes.

Can I board a sequence, not just one moment?

Describe the beats: “three panels — she enters the cafe, spots the letter, sits down stunned.” Each panel is generated from the same reference so the scene stays cast and lit. Longer sequences work best a few beats at a time.

What makes a good reference frame?

One image that already answers the big questions — who is in the scene, what they wear, what the light does. A generated still, a styled photo, or a location scout shot all work. The cleaner the reference, the tighter the consistency.

Can I turn the boards into motion?

Yes — take any panel into the Image to Video Generator to animate it into a five-second clip. Board the scene here, then animate the panels you commit to.
