Start with a picture, or a story

Give StoryBarn a photograph and it writes you a show — a logline, who is in it, the first scene — and hands the picture back moving. Or give it a story you wrote and it keeps your people, your dialogue and your ending. StoryBarn is in a closed beta: starting a production needs an account, and accounts are by invitation for now — ask to be a collaborator. A Studio is the workflow that fits the work; they share one production system and differ in what Development asks for.

How these fit together

Source — The source everything below is adapted from. Today it arrives from elsewhere.

From a story — Long-form. They want people, a world and an ending before a camera is pointed.

To a brief — A client's brief, or a finished track. The source arrives rather than being written.

Also planned

Declared and not built, each with a note saying what finishing it would take.

About photographs of people. What a photograph of a person becomes is your choice, on the Look book: use-real reproduces the person as the character; similar takes their build, colouring, age and clothes and gives the character a different face; generate takes nothing from a photograph. Only bring in photographs you have the right to use that way — you are responsible for that, and StoryBarn cannot check it. Public figures, other people's photographs and pictures taken where consent was not given are yours to avoid.
