I have been building StoryBoard, a free pre-production workspace for indie filmmakers, comic creators, and video makers. Instead of juggling eight different AI tools where your main character looks different in every shot, you do it all in one place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnhFJWXSVkc What it does today: - Scripts — write by hand or paste a chapter (PDF, TXT, DOCX); AI parses it into scenes and characters - Reference images — multi-angle reference sheets for your characters, environments, and objects, kept consistent - Voices — give each character a locked voice - Blocking — stage your cast and props, then export a shoot-ready PDF - Storyboards — generate storyboard frames with your references injected, so faces stay consistent shot to shot Video generation is on the roadmap for later. It is BYOK (bring your own API keys, pay providers directly, no markup), so the workspace itself is free. Right now it is in private beta, and it is free forever for the first 1,000 users. Short demo video attached below. Access here: https://storyboardbook.com Would love your feedback. What would you want to see next?

On the man in the red jacket and the robot looking at him. The robot is only a hologram, it is not physically there. The man in the red jacket wants to punch him, he winds up, he strikes, but because the robot is not physically there, only a hologram, his fist passes through the robot and the man in the red jacket loses his balance and falls. I need some ideas :) I cannot "punch" through the air.

A few days ago I posted that team-built 3D animation runs $3,136 per finished minute. That figure still stands. So I tested the other end of the curve. One person. ~16 hours. ~$15 in marginal API credits on top of existing subscriptions. A 5-minute 3D-style animated short of a 145-year-old Romanian fairy tale — Ion Creangă's "Ursul păcălit de vulpe" / "The Bear Who Was Tricked by the Fox" — shipped in English, Romanian, and Hungarian subtitles. The honest comparison isn't "$15 beats $3,136." It's roughly ~$400 per finished minute solo vs. ~$10,000 (included margins, salaries, taxes, per finished minute team-built — about 25× cheaper. With trade-offs: visible artifacts in some shots, ~95% character consistency across 32 shots, ~70% Seedance acceptance rate, occasional Kling fallback for shots Seedance refused. Real, but real. I wrote up the entire pipeline, end to end: - Source material, OCR, and modern children's-English script adaptation - The production bible with @tag identity sheets that lock characters across all 32 shots - The Higgsfield "upload once, reference forever" UUID trick that saves hours per project - ElevenLabs v3 performance tags + bookend-pause discipline for clean TTS - The Seedance lip-sync recipe — the three rules nobody states clearly online (one video reference only, mandatory DIALOGUE block, @Image attribution per line) - Demucs htdemucs_6s for stripping unwanted background music from generated audio - The honest cost accounting: how subscriptions absorb the $15, where 16 hours of human time fits in, why the $10K/minute figure still holds for team-built work Plus real Seedance and ElevenLabs prompts (paste-ready), what I'd do differently next time, and the limitations I haven't solved yet.

Premiere Topaz Bridge - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lafitZNvHz8 It will be free, just to be approved by AEScript site. So, soon, in a couple of days. Need to have Topaz Video Desktop license.

This was a real challenge to do it.It was all easy, until I not faced the dwarfs. I think 2 days I played to avoid the protection of Seedance. Hard work :-) Offer a like on Youtube if you like the result :-)
