AI images can be a game-changer in storyboarding. They offer a quick and imaginative way to visualize scenes, characters and moods, turning your storyboard into a vivid and compelling narrative.
This article will explain best practices for writing prompts to make sure that your AI images match your intended vision. We'll also share 10 example prompts that you can use for your own storyboards!
What is a Prompt?
A prompt is a text description that you feed into the AI to create an image. Think of it as explaining your story to a talented artist who will go on to visualize your ideas.
Tips for Best Results
Be clear and precise. Ambiguous prompts can lead to unexpected results.
Use brackets to highlight specific elements that you want to see in the image.
Use negative prompts to exclude details you don’t want to see.
Experiment with the "seed" feature for subtle image variations.
Image credits are only used when you add images to your storyboard, so feel free to experiment!
