  2. Read your title, your hero, and your first scene out loud to a partner.
  3. Want to change something in your story? Do it now, with your teacher. Then save the file again.

New Saturday, NEW chat

Your My Story chat from last Saturday is still in the sidebar. Leave that one alone. Today gets a brand new chat. Teacher demos first.

  1. Check the top of the screen says your project name (Student <number> Movie Studio). If not: left sidebar, Projects, click yours.
  2. Click New chat inside your project (the button near your project name). The message box goes empty. That is the new chat.
  3. Open your story file: on the Desktop, double-click your project folder, then double-click 01-story.txt. It opens in Notepad. Keep it open.
  4. In Notepad: press Ctrl + A (selects everything), then Ctrl + C (copies it). You will paste it into the first card below.

Wake up your art studio

image:
3D animated family movie style, warm and colorful, Pixar and
Disney inspired, soft lighting, expressive cartoon characters.
Say READY when you have read it, then list back to me my
characters and my locations. Do not generate anything yet.

Card P3

Character reference image

One character at a time. Hero always first. Max 5 characters. You will paste this card once for EACH character.

Prompt card ยท paste into ChatGPT
CHARACTER IMAGE: <type the character's name here>.
Before generating, ask me, 3 at a time:
1. How old do they look?
2. Height and build?
3. Skin tone and hair (style and color)?
4. Eyes and expression? What is their usual vibe?
5. Outfit and colors? One signature item they always have?
(For creatures or robots: ask what they are made of and
their colors instead.)

Then generate ONE image: a full-body character reference of
this character standing front-facing on a plain soft
background, in our locked style, matching every detail I gave.
If earlier character images exist in this chat, keep the same
art style so they all look like one movie.

After I see it, ask if I want one change. Make max 2 redo
rounds, then we keep the best one.
๐Ÿ“Œ Fill it in: where the card says <type the character's name here>, type your character's actual name before you send.
โžคAfter pasting, click the โžค arrow button at the bottom right of the message box (or press Enter) to send it.

Card P3B

Character sheet

Right after each character's reference image. The sheet shows them from every side, so every future image matches.

Prompt card ยท paste into ChatGPT
CHARACTER SHEET: <type the character's name here>.
Look at the reference image we just made for this character
in this chat. Generate ONE character model sheet image:

  same signature item. Copy every detail exactly.
- shown 3 ways side by side: front view, side view, back view
- plus 3 small heads showing expressions: happy, worried,
  determined
- plain soft background, our locked style, no text or labels

This sheet is the master reference for this character. Every
future image of them must match this sheet exactly.

After I see it, ask if I want one change. Max 2 redo rounds.
๐Ÿ“Œ Fill it in: type the same character's name where the card asks for it.
โžคAfter pasting, click the โžค arrow button at the bottom right of the message box (or press Enter) to send it.

Card P4B

Storyboard frames

The big one. One card per scene table row, in order. Max 10. Your characters step into your locations and DO the action. Different camera angle every frame.

Prompt card ยท paste into ChatGPT
STORYBOARD FRAME: scene number <type the number> from my
SCENE TABLE.
Generate ONE wide 16:9 storyboard frame of this exact scene:
- start from my location image for this scene's location.
  Same place, same colors, same details.
- include ONLY the characters my scene table lists for this
  scene, matching their character sheets exactly: same faces,
  same outfits, same signature items
- show the action from my table at its most exciting moment.
  The characters are DOING the action, not posing for a photo.
- pick the camera angle that makes the action feel biggest:
  wide shot, medium shot, or close-up, from eye level, from
  high above, or from down low. Never use the same camera
  angle as the frame before. Characters do not need to face
  the camera.
- the mood from my table, our locked style
No text or words inside the image.

After I see it, ask if I want one change. Max 2 redo rounds.
๐Ÿ“Œ Fill it in: where the card says <type the number>, type the scene number from your SCENE TABLE before you send.
