Generation modes

    Storyboard

    Also called Shot list, Scene board, Boarded generate.

    A storyboard is a planned sequence of shots — stills, prompts, or both — that a later generate follows, rather than one prompt asked to carry the whole film.

    The board is the plan. Multi-scene generation is the execute step: each boarded shot becomes its own generate, then a stitch. Collapsing the board into one long prompt is how a model compresses five beats into a muddle.

    First-last-frame is a two-still interpolation, which is a two-cell board with a motion job in between. Sora's storyboard row is a model that takes that plan as its input shape. A slideshow is a locked stack of stills that may never become motion. None of those are each other.

    Write the board so each cell is one beat, one camera, one duration the catalog actually sells. Then pick a model per cell. The movie job on Versely is that unit.

    In practice

    • One cell, one shot. If the camera has to travel to a new setup, that is a new cell.
    • Attach reference stills to cells that must keep identity; do not hope the next prompt remembers the last.
    • Do not ask one 8-second generate to play five boarded shots.

    The mistake to avoid

    Treating the storyboard as decoration and prompting the whole film in one box. The board was the job shape; the single generate threw it away.
