24 alternatives to Storyboarder (script to shotlist in minutes, with AI)
I’ve spent the last month or so hacking on a prototype to let filmmakers make concept art more quickly with recent generative image tools. This is very much a beta—with current functionality you can make projects, generate shots, and upload scripts which we can process into shotlists. Features I’m working on as we speak: character consistency, location consistency, framing and composing shots. Let me know what you think or what else I should build!

I'm enthralled with using pen plotters to make generative art. Last August at SIGGRAPH, I built an interactive experience for others to see how code can be used to make visual art. The linked blog post is my trials and tribulations of linking a MIDI controller to one of these algorithms and sending its output to a plotter, so that people may witness the end-to-end experience.

I had 2 weeks off from work and wanted a pet project before heading back. With GPT and Generative AI in the news, I decided to chain multiple Al products together to build something really cool. I set my end goal to be: prompt-to-storyboard (aka fun videos generated purely via generative AI). There exists some prompt-to-video products, but I wanted to tell stories with audio as well. The end product takes an initial prompt and produces a series of images and audio files, which I then combine (with subtitles) into the final video. To showcase videos, there is a basic upvote/downvote…

Frameloop is an AI-powered video creation and automation tool, that turns ideas into publishable videos within seconds. I've been working on this for past 4 months now, and have few paying customers as well. Most of them are individual creators, and about 20% are businesses. I'd like to focus more on business users going forwards, and am building branded video features for businesses. There are many other tools at this point, but my focus has been to focus on great UX, and giving users a really good first draft, which is easily editable. And I think that focus is what differentiates us. Try…

Hi HN, I'm excited to share a project I've built: PixelateImage.org. Instead of being a traditional image editor, this is an *AI-powered tool that generates pixel art directly from your text prompts.* If you've ever wanted to create unique pixel art characters, scenes, or assets for games, art projects, or just for fun, but perhaps lacked the specific artistic skills or time, this might be for you. My goal was to make generating retro-style or modern pixel art more accessible. You can type in a description (e.g., "a brave knight in a dark forest," "a futuristic cityscape at night," "a cute…

Hi hn, Its been a while since my kid has been dreaming to make videogames, as you know, the entry bar is high, too many technical details are involved. A few months ago, we started making games, we have tried many different ways, from dragging blocks to write code with a high-level library to make it simple, it is still too much work. Getting into the AI boat, I decided to give it a try for making games, turns out that it works super nicely, still, you still have many technical concepts involved, what language should the game be written in? where do you store the file/assets? how do you…

Read an article yesterday about the H.264 codec increasing their licensing fee by an astronomical amount. And as always, my first shot was how hard could it be to try and build a codec which could be that efficient. I've personally been on a drive to improve my ability to one-shot complex features, products, or make even surgical changes. It's been a few months since I've been doing that, and honestly, results have been great for both work and work/life balance. This was a fun experiment. It burned through tokens, but it helped me identify some more improvements I could make to my…

one-off image/video generation is easy, but creating a cohesive story with consistent characters and locations across multiple scenes is difficult. So I am building flickspeed.ai which provides a infinite canvas with image/video/audio nodes where you can create base characters and then use it across multiple scenes. there is also an agent which assist in writing prompts Feedback, bugs, and suggestions are all welcome.

Hi Hacker Friends, I'm excited to share my new project, ImagineToVideo. My goal was to build an AI video generation tool that’s powerful enough for pros but simple enough for everyone. We're focused on making video creation straightforward and support three main modes: ● Text-to-Video ● Image-to-Video ● Template-driven Video To balance quality and cost, we've integrated a range of models. For high-end, cinematic results, we support top-tier models like VEO 3.1 and Sora 2. At the same time, we know those models can be expensive. To keep it accessible and reliable for more casual or…

Hi HN, I’ve been working on a side project: 4oimage.site — a fast, easy-to-use image generator that focuses on style-driven creation, not prompt engineering. Why I built this: I love generative AI, but most tools require carefully-crafted prompts or a deep understanding of models to get good results. I wanted to create something where you just pick a style, upload an image or input a concept, and get beautiful results — instantly. Key features: • Generate images in curated styles (anime, vintage, futuristic, watercolor, etc.) • No prompt tuning or parameter tweaking needed. • Clean UI, runs…
