熙熙 reads scene structure, character presence, and location shifts from your screenplay, then builds storyboard frames you can revise before any AI video pass. The story survives production because the boards never float free of the pages.
You finish a draft, export PDFs, and hand scenes to a board artist or an image tool. By the time panels return, you have already cut a subplot and renamed a location. Now every frame is a negotiation instead of a plan.
Generic AI image runs give you pretty stills with wrong wardrobe, wrong room geography, and no scene numbers. You spend nights relabeling JPEGs instead of rehearsing tone with collaborators.
When boards drift from the screenplay, preproduction meetings become arguments about which version is true. AI video tools inherit that confusion and amplify it frame by frame.
熙熙 treats your screenplay as the source of truth. Scenes, sluglines, and character entries feed panel generation so each board strip reflects what is actually on the page.
Revise the script and the linked boards surface what changed. You approve frames scene by scene, then hand a coherent visual plan to shot lists, animatics, or AI video generation without retyping sluglines.
Load your Fountain or PDF screenplay. 熙熙 maps scenes, characters, and locations into a development graph you can navigate while boarding.
Flag set pieces, emotional turns, and dialogue-heavy beats that need panels. Skip coverage on scenes that are clear in prose alone.
Produce frames per scene with consistent character and wardrobe cues. Swap compositions, adjust camera height, and reject frames that betray the script.
Export numbered strips, push frames into shot lists, or send approved panels to AI video with prompts anchored to the same scene IDs.
Mara is working on a 98-page drama screenplay structured around three interwoven timeline threads. For her upcoming producer meeting, she selectively storyboards only the crucial intersection scenes where these timelines converge, with each storyboard panel clearly labeled with scene numbers that correspond directly to her script PDF. When the producer requests moving a key revelation to an earlier point in the narrative, Mara updates the scene order in her screenplay document and regenerates just the four affected storyboard panels, avoiding the need to reconstruct her entire presentation deck from the ground up.
Storyboard panels automatically inherit INT/EXT designations, time of day specifications, and location details directly from your screenplay's sluglines, eliminating the need to manually retype scene headers on every individual frame.
Pin specific visual references for each character's face, hair styling, and wardrobe choices so that your Act One storyboards and Act Three storyboards maintain visual consistency and read as depicting the same people throughout the narrative.
Storyboard the specific moments that effectively sell your project's tone and establish its geography. Leave dialogue-heavy interior scenes as script-only until they demonstrate they deserve a dedicated visual pass.
Output numbered PDF strips or organized image folders that mirror your screenplay pagination structure, ensuring that production notes and feedback land on the correct corresponding scene.
Without structure
With 熙熙
No. 熙熙 works on partial drafts. Board the sequences you are confident about and expand coverage as scenes lock. Early boards still attach to scene numbers so later rewrites stay traceable.
Yes. Upload reference sketches or finished art for key scenes and generate AI panels for coverage scenes. All frames sit on the same scene timeline inside one project.
When scene text or order changes, linked panels are flagged for review. You choose whether to regenerate, keep the existing frame, or mark a scene as script-only until the next pass.
Exports include scene numbers and sluglines pulled from your script. You can align numbering with your production breakdown before sharing strips with department heads.
Yes. Download PDF storyboard strips or image sequences with metadata. The same frames can feed animatics, shot lists, or AI previsualization without duplicate data entry.
It replaces the busywork of retyping scene data and relabeling frames after every rewrite. Artists and directors still choose composition, performance beats, and which scenes deserve panels.
AI generation is not the hard part anymore. Keeping the film coherent is. Start in 熙熙 and build the chain before you burn credits.
