BLACK MASS

Your videos are up against a strawberry getting cheated on.
You won't out-drama the fruit affairs.
But you can out-direct it.

What is this anyway?

The storyboard step AI video skipped.

Any good video is good storytelling. And good storytelling is what each shot makes the viewer feel. That feeling is a craft with real techniques: what to show, what to hide, where the light falls, where the eye lands first. Storyboard veterans run those questions on every shot before anything gets drawn.

AI generation skips the step entirely. You describe a thing, the model renders a thing, and the result shows the moment without making anyone feel it. You can tell. Everyone can tell.

BLACK MASS puts the step back. It walks you through the questions, builds the shot from your answers, and renders a free draft right here, or sends the prompt to Midjourney, Grok, Firefly, Runway, anything. STORYBOARD MODE holds multiple shots together with consistent screen direction, light logic, and scale rhythm, so a sequence feels like it came from the same eye.

Want to see some actual examples of what this does?

Before, and after.

The only variable is whether anyone asked the storyboard questions before the model rendered it. Read the prompts. That is the whole difference.

Exhibit i.
The Wrestler
Awe · Aftermath
Silhouette · Vertical
Low / 50mm · Layered
Before — slop
Before — wrestler
Same prompt with Black Mass
After — wrestler
The Prompt, Before
1970s Japanese horror magazine cover, masked pro wrestler in a dark room with a ghost on the floor, psychedelic neon colors, dramatic, cinematic, vintage horror aesthetic --ar 3:4
The Prompt, After
Greyscale storyboard foundation thumbnail. The frame conveys awe at the moment of aftermath: a masked wrestler standing over a fallen translucent robe trailing smoke. Deliberately excluded: the room, the crowd, the source of the smoke. Dominant vertical axis, assertive and imposing; eye forced to center of the frame; pure silhouette, black mass against light field; low camera angle looking up, subject monumental, through a 50mm normal lens; layered depth across all three planes. Silhouette-first, no rendering. 16:9 cinematic aspect.
Exhibit ii.
The Roller Disco
Unease · Confrontation
Silhouette · Diagonal
Dutch / Wide · Midground
Before — slop
Before — roller disco
Same prompt with Black Mass
After — roller disco
The Prompt, Before
1978 magazine cover, roller-skating detective in long coat and fedora standing over a broken disco ball, neon pink and orange background, dramatic lighting, cinematic, retro psychedelic aesthetic --ar 3:4
The Prompt, After
Greyscale storyboard foundation thumbnail. The frame conveys unease at the moment of confrontation: a roller-skating detective in coat and fedora standing over a fallen disco ball. Deliberately excluded: the rink, the crowd, the disco era. Aggressive diagonal compositional flow, dynamic and unstable; eye forced to lower center of the frame; pure silhouette, black mass against light field; dutch-tilted camera, off-axis, unstable, through a wide-angle lens; midground-dominant depth, readable classical balance. Silhouette-first, no rendering. 16:9 cinematic aspect.
Exhibit iii.
The Train Station
Reverence · Anticipation
Rim-Lit · Triangle
High / Long · Background
Before — slop
Before — train station
Same prompt with Black Mass
After — train station
The Prompt, Before
Beautiful editorial photo of a woman in a long coat alone on a train platform with a suitcase, dramatic sunlight, melancholy, cinematic, atmospheric, magazine quality, vintage --ar 3:4
The Prompt, After
Greyscale storyboard foundation thumbnail. The frame conveys reverence at the moment of anticipation: a woman in a long coat alone on an empty marble train platform with a single suitcase at her feet. Deliberately excluded: the destination, the time of day, anyone else. Triangular compositional structure, stable or collapsing; eye forced to middle left of the frame; rim-lit, figure carved by a single light source from behind; high camera angle looking down, subject diminished, through a long telephoto lens; background-dominant depth, atmospheric distance. Silhouette-first, no rendering. 16:9 cinematic aspect.
