Storyboard Template With Lighting Notes That Stays Consistent

  • Storyboard First Workflow

    Plan your film as a sequence of shots, then generate imagery, motion, and audio from the same organized storyboard.

  • Continuity You Can Reuse

    Reference prior shots and Elements to keep characters, locations, props, and overall look consistent across scenes.

  • AI-Assisted Writing And Rewrites

    Draft scripts with guided steps and improve specific passages with focused rewrites without starting over.

From Script To Shot Notes

Start from an idea or an existing script and shape it into a reusable storyboard template with lighting notes, organized shot-by-shot. Capture intent like time of day, contrast level, and key/fill/rim feel directly in each shot’s text so every frame has clear direction. Use AI-assisted writing to refine individual beats or descriptions without rewriting the entire project.

Continuity You Can Trust

Continuity You Can Trust

Keep the same look as you change angles, staging, and coverage by reusing prior shots as references. Create Elements for characters, locations, and props so identities and styling stay stable across your storyboard sequence. This continuity helps your lighting notes translate into a coherent visual language from scene to scene.

Explore Fast Then Polish

Block out coverage quickly with faster storyboard generation when you’re testing pacing, mood, and lighting direction. When the plan is working, switch to the high-quality consistency approach for stronger character identity and more reliable continuity. Your storyboard template with lighting notes can mature from rough exploration into pitch-ready, cohesive frames.

Add Motion Voice And Sound

Turn selected storyboard frames into video using text-to-video, or use image-to-video with chosen start and end frames to guide motion. Add speech generation for character performance and support the scene with music and sound effects, all tied back to the same shot sequence. The result is a clearer, more film-ready expression of your lighting plan without jumping between tools.

FAQs

Does CinemaDrop include a storyboard template with lighting notes?
CinemaDrop is a storyboard-first studio where you build a sequence of shots and can include lighting notes in each shot’s text and prompts. While it isn’t a downloadable paper template, the storyboard structure functions like a reusable template you can adapt per project. You can iterate on shots while keeping your lighting intent attached to the same sequence.
What’s the best way to write lighting notes for each shot?
Add lighting direction to the shot description, such as time of day, mood, contrast level, and key/fill/rim intent. If a note feels vague, you can highlight the text and use AI assistance to rewrite it with clearer visual specificity. Keeping notes at the shot level makes changes easy to track as the sequence evolves.
How does CinemaDrop help maintain a consistent look across scenes?
Consistency is a core focus. You can reuse earlier generated frames as references when creating new shots, which helps preserve character identity and world coherence. Elements for characters, locations, and props further anchor continuity across a storyboard sequence.
Can I start from an existing script, or do I need to write inside CinemaDrop?
You can paste in an existing script and generate a storyboard from it. If you’re starting from an idea, the Script Wizard can guide you through characters, outline, and a full script before storyboarding. Either way, the goal is to get to a shot-by-shot plan quickly.
Can I draft quickly first and refine later without redoing everything?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports a faster storyboard option for quick iteration and a slower high-quality consistency option when you want stronger identity lock and higher-confidence frames. Many creators explore coverage and lighting direction in fast mode, then upgrade the shots that matter most once the plan is solid.
Can my storyboard turn into video with voice and music?
Yes. You can generate video from text prompts or create image-to-video using selected start and end frames from your storyboard. CinemaDrop also supports speech generation and text-to-music, so you can build toward a more complete cinematic sequence while staying inside the same storyboard workflow.
Do different AI models change quality or credit cost?
CinemaDrop provides access to multiple third-party models across image, video, lip-sync, and audio, and different choices can have different credit costs. This lets you choose faster exploration or higher-quality output depending on the shot. Because everything stays in one workspace, you can switch approaches without rebuilding your project.
