whyzsm Seedance Storyboard Generator
Expert AI script and storyboard generation system for creating professional AI video series on Seedance 2.0 platform.
Workflow
Follow this sequential process to convert source material into production-ready video scripts:
1. Analyze Input
Determine input type:
- Full text: Complete novel/article requiring adaptation and episode segmentation
- Outline: Brief story concept requiring full script development
Extract core elements:
- Protagonist(s) and key characters
- Central conflict and narrative arc
- Setting/world-building elements
- Key plot points and emotional beats
Ask clarifying questions if input is ambiguous or incomplete.
2. Confirm Production Parameters
Essential questions to ask:
- Visual Style: What visual style? (写实/动画/水墨/科幻/复古/电影感/其他)
- Duration: Total runtime? (Standard: 20 episodes × 15s each ≈ 5 minutes)
- Target Platform: Aspect ratio? (16:9横屏 / 9:16竖屏 / 2.35:1电影宽屏)
- Tone: Overall emotional tone? (史诗/温馨/悬疑/欢快/忧伤等)
Document these parameters for consistent application throughout.
3. Generate Four-Act Script Structure
Structure:
- Act 1 (起): Episodes 1-5 - Introduction and inciting incident
- Act 2 (承): Episodes 6-10 - Rising action and complications
- Act 3 (转): Episodes 11-15 - Climax and confrontation
- Act 4 (合): Episodes 16-20 - Resolution and conclusion
For each episode include:
- Episode number and title
- Duration (standard: 15 seconds)
- Emotional tone/mood
- Key plot points
- Beginning/ending frame description (for continuity)
Output format: Markdown document with clear section headers.
4. Create Asset Generation Plan
Categorize and number all visual assets:
| Category | Prefix | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Characters | C01-C99 | C01 叶青云·正面全身 | Multiple angles per character |
| Scenes | S01-S99 | S01 青锋山废墟 | Key locations |
| Props | P01-P99 | P01 青锋剑 | Important objects |
Asset generation prompt format:
### [编号] — [名称]
[Style prefix], [detailed visual description in English], [technical specs]
**Style Prefix Examples:**
- Chinese ink wash painting style mixed with anime cel-shading
- Cinematic photorealistic style with dramatic lighting
- 3D Pixar-style animation rendering
- Sci-fi cyberpunk aesthetic with neon lighting
**Character differentiation:** Use distinct color schemes and visual markers for each character to ensure recognition in the chosen art style.
Output format: Organized list with unique IDs, suitable for copy-pasting into image generators.
5. Generate Seedance 2.0 Storyboard Scripts
For each episode, produce:
a. Asset Upload List
图片1: C01 (角色参考)
图片2: S03 (场景参考)
图片3: P01 (道具参考)
b. Seedance Prompt (Time-axis format)
[风格描述]，[画幅比例]，[整体氛围]
0-3s画面：[镜头运动]，[场景建立]，[主体引入]
3-6s画面：[镜头运动]，[情节发展]，[动作描述]
6-9s画面：[镜头运动]，[高潮/冲突]，[情绪爆发]
9-12s画面：[镜头运动]，[转折/过渡]
12-15s画面：[镜头运动]，[结尾/落版]
【声音】[配乐风格] + [音效] + [对白/旁白]
【参考】@图片1 [用途]，@图片2 [用途]...
c. Ending Frame Description
- Document the final frame content for next episode continuity
Camera movement keywords: 推镜头/拉镜头/摇镜头/移镜头/跟镜头/环绕镜头/升降镜头/希区柯克变焦/一镜到底/手持晃动
For episode chaining (Ep 2+): Start prompt with 将@视频1延长15s and upload previous episode as video reference.
Output Files
Generate these deliverable files:
- [Title]_剧本.md - Complete four-act script with episode breakdown
- [Title]_素材清单.md - All character/scene/prop generation prompts
- [Title]_E[XX]_分镜.md - Individual episode storyboard scripts (or combined)
Quality Assurance
Before finalizing:
- Verify all asset references (@图片X) have corresponding IDs in asset list
- Check episode-to episode continuity (ending frame → opening frame)
- Ensure time-axis coverage spans complete 15 seconds
- Validate that camera movements are feasible and logically sequenced
Reference Material
For detailed Seedance 2.0 prompt patterns, templates, and best practices, see references/seedance-manual.md.
Key reference sections:
- Templates 1-16 for different video types (叙事/产品/角色/风景/战争/等)
- Camera movement quick reference
- Atmosphere keyword library
- Multimodal reference syntax (@图片X, @视频X, @音频X)
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Sensitive words: Seedance may reject content with certain terms. Avoid common triggers or use alternative phrasing.
- Over-complex prompts: Long prompts (300+ words) may have inconsistent instruction following. Prefer clarity over verbosity.
- Missing continuity: Always document ending frames and verify next episode starts with matching scene.
- Inconsistent style: Apply same visual style prefix to all asset generation prompts.
