Step-by-step walkthroughs from the DreamOddly team, covering script, storyboard, characters and image generation.
Leave air after a key line
Hold a few silent beats after a key line or a moment of realization so the emotion has room to land.
Telling a group apart
Before putting several characters in one frame, assign each of them a distinct main color or signature accessory in the character list.
The restorer of residual memories
A restorer can read the residual memories left behind on objects, until the day he reads an image that should not exist.
How the in-app music track works
Music is generated in the app by default and billed by usage.
Grandmother's old recipe book
A young person returns home and reopens a shop using their grandmother's old recipe book, with a family memory in every dish.
Orbit then crane up
Circle the subject with orbit-clockwise, then follow with crane-up to rise and pull away, placing the character's emotion back in the wider space.
Fast cutting for energy
Stack short shots in quick succession to build energy.
Animal and non-human characters
For an orange cat, little creature, or other non-human character, specify breed, size, coat color, and a defining feature.
Design for little or no dialogue
For silent-film or cross-language storytelling, reduce dialogue and let action, narration, and music carry the information.
Fit dialogue to picture
Match dialogue length to the rhythm of the picture.
Costume arc for a growing character
Generate candidates for both the old cloth shirt and the upgraded gear, and keep one shared anchor, the old scar or the jade pendant, in both versions.
Symmetry and centered framing
Use symmetry for order or solemnity, and centered framing to focus attention on the lead.
Gimbal and steadicam follow
Use gimbal-follow or steadicam-follow to track the lead smoothly or show a continuous action.
Handheld realism (handheld-subtle / handheld-urgent)
Use handheld-subtle for restrained realism and handheld-urgent for urgency or tension.
The order of an AI factory
Robotic arms, rivers of flowing data, and a silent production line compose the quiet order of an AI factory.
The regular at the rainy night station
At a rain-soaked gas station, a night clerk checks a regular customer's plate against the records and finds the owner died years ago.
The last morning on the old street
Document the morning of the final trading day on an old street that is about to be torn down.
Match screen space between shots
Make adjacent shots agree on direction and space: exit one side and enter the other, or go through a door and emerge outside.
Take the offered way out
When this machine lacks a codec, take one of the offered routes, lower the resolution, switch to cloud render, or install the missing capability.
Slow motion and timelapse (slow-motion / time-lapse)
Use slow-motion to magnify a key moment.
Slow burn for dread
Use slow pacing and long holds to build pressure and suspense.
Horizontal advertising cuts
Give the brand message a clear landing point and keep the end-card logo tidy.
Batch a whole scene
Use the same scene setting and lighting description for multiple shots in one scene, then generate them in sequence.
Bleach bypass
Use a desaturated, high-contrast bleach bypass look for the grit of S5 action, S2 tension, war, or post-apocalyptic material.
