1
SetupSelect 8 photos that tell a story

They don't have to be in chronological order — the AI will reorder them. Pick photos with variety: different settings, lighting, expressions, or moments. Avoid 8 near-identical shots. Think of them as chapters of a story, not duplicates of the same moment.

2
SetupOpen Google Flow and upload your photos

Access Google Flow at flow.google.com. You will need a Google account. Upload all 8 photos into the session before entering any prompt.

3
SetupPaste the storyboard prompt

Copy the prompt from the top of this page and paste it exactly as written. Do not modify the requirements section — those constraints (preserve identity, no exaggeration, 9:16 format) are what make the output look professional.

TestReview the storyboard output

SetupApprove and generate

Once you are happy with the storyboard, tell the AI to proceed. It will generate the animation prompts scene by scene, and you can use those to render the final video clips in Flow.

SetupEdit in CapCut or your preferred tool

Export your clips and bring them into CapCut (or any editor). Add subtitles, music, captions, and your hook text. Do not add text overlays during the Google Flow stage — always add text in post-production for full control over placement and timing.

Your task is NOT to generate the final animation prompts immediately.
Instead:

1. Analyse all uploaded images.
2. Arrange them in the most engaging storytelling order.
3. Create a storyboard showing:
   • Scene number
   • Which uploaded image is used
   • Suggested duration (1–3 seconds)
   • Camera movement (slow zoom in, zo
