Start with a visual promise, not a list of shots.
A choreography-led visual narrative with spatial clarity and a signature final pose.
The workflow turns one controlled creative brief into a complete storyboard sheet. Each scene advances the same story while the character bible, palette, recurring objects and environment references keep the visual world coherent.
Choreographers, music creators, event teams and dance schools.
Choose an emotional change that movement can express from rehearsal to performance.
Why a strong storyboard changes the final result.
Choreography is spatial storytelling. Storyboards preserve floor patterns, body visibility and camera movement so editing supports rather than destroys the performance.
A storyboard is not a contact sheet of attractive images. It is the cheapest place to solve narrative logic, direct attention and test continuity before those decisions become expensive animation problems. It gives every collaborator the same definition of the story: what the audience knows, what changes in each shot and which visual facts must never drift.
What weak boards get wrong
Choosing dramatic close-ups during footwork or crossing the axis so dancers appear to reverse direction unexpectedly.
Build meaning across cuts
Assign camera motion as a partner to choreography: follow, oppose, orbit or hold, but change that relationship only at musical turns.
Draw the stage from above and trace every dancer’s path through eight beats before selecting camera positions.
Configure the workflow before generating.
Choose a focused premise
Choose an emotional change that movement can express from rehearsal to performance.
Build the subject and world
Define dancers, styles, stage, wardrobe, music energy and signature move.
Lock continuity rules
Lock dancer identity, costume, floor orientation, ensemble placement and light cues.
Set the directing logic
Progress from isolated movement to spatial development, ensemble lift and final pose.
Design the floor pattern before choosing cameras; choreography reads better when geography is stable.
Make every frame perform a different job.
Shots 01–02 · Establish
Introduce the world, protagonist and immediate visual question. Move from a readable wide shot to one meaningful detail.
Shots 03–04 · Reveal the goal
Clarify what must change, then show the object, relationship or obstacle that makes the goal specific.
Shots 05–06 · Turn the story
Show consequence and realization. This pair should change the protagonist’s understanding, not merely repeat the action.
Shots 07–08 · Act and resolve
Deliver the decisive action and a final image that proves the emotional or practical outcome.
Review the sheet before animation.
Check full-body visibility where footwork matters and avoid impossible limb positions.
- The protagonist, wardrobe and defining features match in all eight scenes.
- Every shot advances the story and uses a purposeful camera scale.
- Props, geography, lighting and visible consequences remain continuous.
- The final frame resolves the premise and provides a strong animation source.
- No accidental text, duplicated anatomy or unexplained artifact appears in the sheet.
Once the storyboard is approved, open the video step, select the intended motion quality and send the reference image to Seedance 2.0. Keep the animation prompt focused on movement, camera behavior, timing and sound rather than redesigning the scene.
