Interactive Storyboarding for Rapid Visual Story Generation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have impacted almost every domain and its systems, including the entertainment industry. Although AI-based systems are expected to offer significant benefits in making content, it is still challenging to build a real-world AI application that can effectively contribute to content production. In this paper, we present a novel approach for developing a storyboard; a sequence of images displayed for previsualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic, or interactive media. We implement a prototype system, Gennie, that can interact with users and suggest AI-generated sketches for each scene of the storyboard.
