Storyboarding Documentation

MuAPI’s Storyboarding system is designed for high-end cinematic production, allowing you to maintain visual consistency across an entire series of videos.

Key Features

• Character Persistence: Define a character once (traits, outfits, reference images) and use them across multiple scenes and episodes.
• Scene Management: Organize your shoot into scenes with specific moods, atmospheres, and cinematic settings (time of day, location).
• Shot-by-Shot Logic: Break scenes down into individual shots with technical camera specifications (angle, shot type) and visual descriptions.
• Episodic Structure: Manage large-scale projects with multiple episodes, each containing its own storyboard.

The Storyboarding Process

1. Character Creation: Define the StoryboardCharacter with static features (age, hair color) and dynamic features (current outfit, mood).
2. Project Setup: Create a StoryboardProject to house your characters and the overall creative brief.
3. Episode Generation: Generate or manually create Storyboard episodes within the project.
4. Scene & Shot Definition: Link shots to characters and backgrounds to ensure the AI maintains consistency throughout the generation process.

API Integration

The storyboarding system uses a multi-entity database structure. Large-scale generations are handled asynchronously via webhooks.

• Primary Endpoint: POST /api/storyboard/projects
• Asset Generation: High-fidelity images and videos are generated for each shot using models like Flux and Runway.
• Workflow Integration: Storyboard assets can be fed directly into workflows for further post-processing (e.g., adding VFX or cinematic color grading).
