Hello, Directors.
Last week, we kicked off the Zero to Director Challenge with our 3-Sentence Pitches. The goal is to build an AI video together, step-by-step.
This is an evergreen challenge, so you can join at any time.
If you’re just joining, you can find the Week 1 Challenge here! It’s fast and will get you caught up.
This week, we’re tackling Challenge 1: The Storyboard.
🎬 Challenge 1: The Storyboard
Your mission for Week 1 is slightly more complex. We are going to define the visual elements of our video.
By now, we should have a rough idea of what our video is about, and hopefully, we have defined the basic scenes we plan to generate.
With that in mind, this is what we need to deliver this week:
Image of your Character
Image of your Location
Your Establishing Shot
Take a look at the video where I describe how I did mine.
Your Mission:
Now it’s your turn.
Free Subscribers: Head to Notes, restack the challenge announcement, and post your Character, Location, and/or Establishing Shot. Don’t forget to tag me (@The AI Video Creator)! I’ll be giving public feedback there.
Paid Subscribers: Head to the private Chat and post your results. This is the best place to ask detailed questions, share your struggles, and get 1-on-1 feedback from me.
If you’ve been wanting that direct feedback and access to all the bonus “how-to” videos and jumpstart assets, this is the perfect time to upgrade.
Let’s see what you create. Let’s go!
🎁 Week 1 Jumpstart Asset
Want to follow along using my assets? I’ve included the final character images I generated for “Bea” in this post. You can download them and use them to try and replicate the “Establishing Shot” from the video.
Use the following prompt to generate the same locations:
Photography, Panorama of a junkyard of disposed robotic parts, broken starships and metallic garbage --chaos 10 --ar 16:9 --exp 20 --sref 1160305752 --sw 300 --stylize 1000
(Feel free to use these in your own project!)
Enjoy coffee, touch grass, and make awesome videos.
