How to Create AI Storyboards in Under 30 Minutes
The workflow
1. Write a shot list
One line per shot: "Wide. Hero enters café. Late afternoon."
2. Lock visual style first
Render one reference frame in your chosen aesthetic. Reuse the style + seed across all shots.
3. Generate each shot as a still
Flux 2 or Imagen 4. Render at 1024×576 (16:9) or 720×1280 (9:16) to match final aspect.
4. Maintain character identity
Use Nano Banana Pro to enforce identity across panels — upload your hero reference, edit each new panel.
5. Lay out the grid
Drop panels into Figma or Photoshop with shot numbers + descriptions.
Pro tips
- Render 2 alternates per shot — directors love options.
- Keep prompts short (under 30 words) for consistent compositions.
