Yes, any AI image generator these days can be prompted to create storyboard images. This includes using a "storyboard style" that looks hand-drawn, adding arrows and text, color or B&W, etc. Everything you would want to do in a storyboard, AI generators can do. Results might not be perfect right away so there will be some time dedicated to refining the prompts and images as you go.
Yes, you can do a storyboard using photos, existing images you find online, or use an AI image generator to create them from scratch. All of these options are excellent alternatives to the traditional "pen and paper" method.
There are a lot of variables at work here, including the length and scope of your project, the speed at which you can create the images (either by hand or digitally), and how much time you might need to brainstorm the images in the first place. The process could take minutes if you're quickly sketching thumbnail storyboards, or it could take hours to generate and refine the images to match your vision exactly.
A storyboard is a tool that can be made to fit your process. So, technically speaking, there are no storyboarding "mistakes" per se. But here is a short list of considerations that you might have otherwise had to learn the hard way.
- Don't storyboard every single shot, only the main setups
- Don't storyboard every single scene. Skip the simple dialogue scenes and save your storyboarding efforts for the more complicated scenes/shots.
- Arrange your storyboard in story order, making it easier to follow along.
