Three ways to tell it

Start however suits the story. Every way ends in the same storyboard and animatic.

What you get

• The same characters in every frame

  Each character gets a reference sheet first, so they look the same in every panel, outfit changes included.

• Click anything to change it

  Click a thing in a panel to recolour it, change it or move it, or just say what you want different.

• An agent checks every frame

  A continuity checker looks over every panel for mistakes, fixes the small ones and asks you about the rest.

• A captioned animatic to share

  Panels timed to the narration, with captions burned in, ready to download or send as a link.

• 5 voices and 9 languages

  Use your own voice, or let one of five narrators read it in English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, French, Spanish or Portuguese.

• Episodes for longer stories

  Split a script into episodes and the cast carries over from one to the next.

• Works on your phone

  Tell a story from your phone's browser. Nothing to install.

Stories people have told with Frameteller and shared with everyone.

Who it's for

Anyone who can describe a scene faster than they can draw it.

• Ad agencies and marketing teams

  Turn a script into a pitch animatic the client can watch, in every market's language.

• Filmmakers and animators

  Block out a scene before the shoot, and pitch it as a timed animatic.

• YouTubers and TikTok creators

  Plan a video's shots in minutes instead of an afternoon.

• Writers and comic artists

  See your pages as panels before you draw a single line.

• Teachers and parents

  Make a class story or a bedtime story into a little film.

Voice to storyboard to animatic, in four steps

1. Speak

   Tell your story out loud, read a script, or let a narrator read it.

2. Direct

   Each paragraph becomes a shot, with its framing and the right characters in it.

3. Draw

   Panels are drawn from character sheets, so everyone looks the same in every frame.

4. Refine and export

   Click anything in a panel to change or move it, then export a captioned animatic.

Questions

We're building this in public, Oct 26 to Nov 4. New entries appear here without reloading.

1. Oct 31Shipped

   Redraw any frame

   Every panel and character sheet now has a Redraw button: say what should change, and keep the previous drawing if you liked it better.

2. Oct 31Shipped

   Tell it in nine languages

   Tell your story in English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, French, Spanish or Portuguese, with narrator voices and captions in all nine.

3. Oct 31Shipped

   Stories you can watch today

   Watch The Night Baker, The Rooftop Garden and The Lighthouse Fox, three stories we told with Frameteller, right on this page and in the gallery.

4. Oct 30Shipped

   Judges get an open-weight checker

   When a judge opens the studio, Frameteller wakes an open-weight model on its own GPU in the background. A few minutes later it checks their panels, and the badge says which model did. Everyone else's checks stay with the hosted model unless the open-weight one is already awake.

5. Oct 30Shipped

   Fewer refused drawings

   Some character sheets were turned down by the image model's safety filter before a second try drew them. Frameteller now describes every character as a friendly, fully clothed storybook character from the start, so they draw first time. If a sheet is still refused, it suggests a description you can use in one click.

6. Oct 30Shipped

   Costumes stay on, and beats you can remove

   When someone changes clothes in your story, Frameteller draws a sheet for the new outfit and keeps them in it in every later panel. Said a word by mistake? Remove that beat, merge two, or delete a shot, with Undo. And every animatic has a clear Play with sound button, with a player for your own recording next to it.

7. Oct 30Shipped

   Report a problem

   Something not right? Press Report a problem in the studio and tell us in a line or two. Your story's id comes with it, so we can look, and reports are deleted after 30 days.

8. Oct 30Shipped

   Sign your storyboard

   Add a name or nickname and a country when you submit to the gallery, or stay an anonymous storyteller. Browse stories by country, and change or remove your name at any time.

9. Oct 30Shipped

   Take the tour

   New here? A two-minute tour walks you through a real sample story, from the script to the captioned animatic, and shows which Meta model does each step. Ava now reads the sample.

10. Oct 30Shipped

    Open the gallery

    Share your storyboard in the public gallery, captioned and checked before it goes up, and watch what others have made.

11. Oct 29Shipped

    Paste a script, pick a voice

    Paste or upload a script and read it from a teleprompter that cuts each shot for you, or pick one of five voices in six languages and let it read the story aloud while the panels draw.

12. Oct 29Shipped

    An agent that checks every frame

    A continuity supervisor now checks every character sheet and panel against written rubrics, fixes small slips like a stray vest on its own, and asks you about the rest.

13. Oct 29Shipped

    Ready for the world

    Frameteller now runs on its own production servers at app.frameteller.com, with fair limits for a busy public demo and a privacy page that says exactly what we keep.

14. Oct 29Shipped

    A home at frameteller.com

    Frameteller now lives at frameteller.com, and the old address and www both lead there.

15. Oct 28Shipped

    Talk for a minute, get an animatic

    You can now talk through a scene for a minute and download an animatic of the storyboard, timed to your words and voiced by your own narration.

16. Oct 28Shipped

    The studio is open

    You can now open the studio in your browser, tell a story out loud, tap Next shot at each new moment, approve the cast and watch the storyboard draw itself.

17. Oct 28Shipped

    Proving the hard parts first

    Testing speech-to-shot-list, and whether one character stays recognisable across six panels.

18. Oct 27Shipped

    It's on the internet

    The backend now runs on Azure, so anyone can narrate a scene to it over the internet and get shots, a cast and first panels back.

19. Oct 27Shipped

    Talk to it, get shots back

    You can now narrate a scene to the backend and watch shots, character sheets and first panels come back while you are still talking.

20. Oct 27Shipped

    Connected to Meta's models

    The backend now talks to all four Meta models it needs, listening, directing, drawing and selecting, and each one passed a live test against the real service.

21. Oct 27Shipped

    Building the engine

    Started the backend: story rules, cast approval and budget guards, all tested before any UI.

22. Oct 27Shipped

    Proved the hard parts

    Our test scenes kept the same girl and cat on model across every panel, one click selected her cleanly, and voice-style edits changed her coat without disturbing the rest of the picture.

23. Oct 27Shipped

    Mapped the Meta APIs

    Read the docs for live speech, image editing and segmentation, and confirmed the pipeline works end to end on paper.

24. Oct 27Shipped

    Marketing page is live

    This page is now deployed on Azure Static Web Apps from our public repo. Every push to main updates this build log within a minute.

25. Oct 27Shipped

    Project kicked off

    Picked the idea, wrote the build plan and put this page up. The public live demo goes up on Nov 2.
