Script and Storyboard the Episode

Build a 5-minute episode script first. Aim for 600-800 words with 10-15 scenes.

Writing the Script

Use simple structure:

1. Hook (0-30s): Action burst.
2. Build (30s-3m): Dialogue + conflict.
3. Climax (3-4m): Fight or reveal.
4. Resolve (4-5m): Cliffhanger.

Example script snippet: "Scene 1: EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT\nYumi leaps across buildings, wind whipping her pink hair. 'I won't let you escape!' she yells at the shadow below."

Storyboard with Smart Tools

• Thumbnail Generator for key frames: "Anime rooftop chase, dramatic angle, 16:9" – 3 credits each.
• Generate 12 frames (36 credits total).
• Compile in First to Last Frame for motion tests (15 credits/transition).

Export storyboard as PDF for reference.
