Plan a three-shot character storyboard

By Luma Atelier editorial team ยท Published

Orla has a blue velvet chair, a potted fern, and an empty theater. Before closing, she decides the fern deserves the best seat in the house.

Set the details each shot needs

Our only person is an original fictional adult, Orla, age 37. Keep this shared appearance brief with your three frames:

That is enough story for three shots. Show the room, let Orla seat her guest, then give her a moment to enjoy the result. This AI-assisted guide contains original fictional briefs. We have not generated or tested their outputs.

Adobe's introduction to storyboarding describes drawings that help plan how a script becomes a sequence of shots. You can make that plan with rough sketches and written notes before requesting media.

Orla, an original adult theater props maker, age 37, with a short black bob and a dark green work shirt beneath an ochre apron. A small theater workshop with a wooden floor and warm late-afternoon window light. The same blue velvet chair and terracotta pot of fern leaves throughout.

Copy the shared brief followed by one frame description when planning its starting image. Review each picture before requesting motion. A matching description cannot guarantee the same face, chair, or room across separate generations.

Shot one: show the empty seat

Begin wide enough to make the joke visible. Orla is at the workbench on the left; the chair waits on the right. The fern sits in its pot beside her.

For the video, the movement can be modest:

Orla looks from the fern toward the empty chair and pauses, considering it. The camera stays in the wide view.

Check whether the viewer can locate both objects. If the pot disappears behind her arm, choose or revise the image before animating it.

Shot two: seat the guest

Move closer for the physical action. Plan a new starting frame with the pot already above the chair seat. This avoids asking one short clip to cover the whole journey from the bench.

Motion: Orla gently lowers the pot onto the chair cushion and lets go. The camera holds its position.

Watch the hands throughout the action and check whether the pot remains intact. If the result changes the chair or misses the placement, record that mismatch before deciding on another paid attempt.

Shot three: let Orla approve

The final image begins after the fern is seated. Orla's reaction supplies the ending; the plant can remain a plant.

Motion: Orla gives the seated fern a small, satisfied nod. The camera remains steady.

You can judge the sequence without dialogue: an empty chair, an unusual guest, a pleased host. Audio is outside this brief, and these instructions do not promise generated sound.

Turn the plan into separate tasks

Runway's image-to-video guide assigns composition to the input image and movement to the text prompt. That supplier guidance does not establish Luma Atelier's active model or guarantee its results.

Use the chat media workflow when preparing a supported request. Choose a duration and aspect ratio currently offered by the selected service. Keep the ratio consistent across shots if you intend to edit them together elsewhere.

This storyboard is a planning document. Each generated shot is a separate task. It does not provide an automatic three-shot assembly or an Extend command. Compare the finished clips for appearance and object changes before combining them in an editor.

The portrait brief guide can help refine the shared appearance notes. Open a character conversation when you are ready to use the available media options.
