Inspiration

The filmmaking industry spends millions on pre-visualization, but traditional storyboard creation is time-consuming and expensive. We saw an opportunity to revolutionize this process using BRIA AI's FIBO technology to create a professional-grade pre-visualization pipeline.

What it does

FIBO Studio transforms scripts into professional storyboards through a streamlined 2-step workflow:

Step 1: Scripting - Upload or paste your script, and the system automatically generates a complete storyboard by parsing scenes and extracting visual directions.

Step 2: Scene Generation and Editing - Review and edit generated scenes with full parameter control over:

  • Camera angles, movements, and FOV transitions
  • Lighting (time of day, style, direction)
  • Color grading with HDR/16-bit support
  • Composition and depth of field

The tool exports professional formats including PDF storyboards, video animatics, and HDR image sequences compatible with Nuke, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere.

How we built it

Backend: FastAPI-based architecture with:

  • Script parser for automatic scene extraction
  • LLM translator converting natural language to structured FIBO JSON
  • BRIA AI FIBO API integration for high-quality image generation
  • Multi-frame consistency engine
  • Professional export pipeline (ReportLab for PDF, OpenCV for video)

Frontend: Modern React 18 + Vite interface featuring:

  • Tab-based navigation (Create Storyboard, My Storyboards, My Scenes)
  • Interactive parameter customization
  • Real-time preview and editing
  • Non-intrusive toast notifications

Challenges we ran into

  • Maintaining visual consistency across multi-frame sequences
  • Translating natural language cinematic terms to precise FIBO JSON parameters
  • Balancing professional-grade controls with an intuitive user experience
  • Implementing efficient batch generation for complete scripts

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Created the first AI-powered professional pre-visualization tool
  • Achieved cinematic-quality consistency across storyboard sequences
  • Built a production-ready workflow that integrates with existing film pipelines
  • Implemented HDR/16-bit support for professional color workflows
  • Developed a fully automated script-to-storyboard agentic pipeline

What we learned

  • FIBO's JSON-native architecture provides unprecedented control over image generation
  • Structured parameters enable deterministic, repeatable results crucial for production
  • Natural language to JSON translation requires careful prompt engineering
  • Professional workflows demand both power and simplicity

What's next for FIBO Studio

  • Nuke script export for seamless post-production integration
  • Animation pre-visualization with 3D camera data
  • Virtual production support for LED wall content planning
  • Collaborative features for team-based pre-production
  • API for integration with industry-standard tools like Final Draft
