I'm not usually big on the blitz of consumerism that is Black Friday here in the United States, but as someone who just upgraded to Adobe CS5.5, I went palm-to-forehead as soon as I saw Adobe's just-announced Black Friday deals, good until November 29. I should've waited! The biggest discounts as far as video folk are concerned is 30% off upgrades to CS5.5 (10% off full versions), 30% off Photoshop, $50 off Lightroom 3, and $50 off any Student/Teacher edition. If you were looking at any Adobe software and you had more patience than I did, check out the sale.
If you’re someone who was open to experimenting with text-prompt generative AI models like Runway or Midjourney when they first came out, you might have tried to use these AI image generators to come up with rough storyboards—or at least inspiration—to help guide your projects.
Well, if that is your bag, you might be even more interested to check out this new Mootion Storyteller’s Input Content Control which aims to allow creators the ability to generate storyboards either from ready-made scripts or from simple text prompts.
A Look at Mootion
If you aren’t familiar with the name, Motion is an AI-native content creation platform that—like most AI platforms and models in this space—aims to unlock creativity in the digital realm for everyone and overall democratize content creation.
This, in truth, is something that AI does well as many of these new models and apps are accessible to anyone with a computer and internet connection. However, only time will tell how much these tools will ultimately save for creators vs cost in other ways perhaps.
We’ve covered Mootion in the past when they launched their text-to-3D motion tools as a Discord-based option for virtual filmmakers. They now have a website and platform that offers AI animation generation and 3D creation.
Mootion Storyteller
Now Mootion has launched a new platform called Mootion Storyteller which offers Input Content Control that supports two input methods. The first method is a text-prompt method where users can enter a single sentence outlining their project. The second method is to upload a full script.
From there Mootion Storyteller will let your creativity flow by creating a full storyboard with scene-by-scene breakdowns and—from the looks of it—AI-generated images and possibly animations.
You can check the full preview below.
