Build Location Boards From Your Story

Start with an idea or paste in a script, then convert it into a storyboard you can rely on as an environment reference. Lock in the setting’s architecture, mood, props, and lighting early so every later scene feels grounded in the same place. You end up with a clear, shot-by-shot visual plan that keeps the world easy to read.

Maintain Continuity Across Angles

CinemaDrop lets you reuse previous outputs as references so your locations stay consistent from shot to shot. Create location Elements and attach reference images to anchor a space while you adjust framing, lens feel, or camera angle. The result is a stronger environment reference that holds up across an entire sequence.

FAQs

What can an AI tool to create environment reference help me make?
It helps you define a location’s look and rules—lighting, mood, materials, and key details—so every scene feels like it belongs to the same world. In CinemaDrop, this typically begins as a storyboard you can reuse as visual reference. You can then extend those references into video and add audio per shot.
Can I paste a script to create environment reference quickly?
Yes. Paste in a script and generate a storyboard to get immediate visuals you can use as environment reference. If you’re starting from an idea, you can use the Script Wizard to go from concept to screenplay and then storyboard it.
How do I keep the same location consistent across multiple shots?
Reuse prior generated shots as references when creating new shots so the location doesn’t drift. You can also create location Elements and attach reference images to them as a stable anchor. This helps you change angles and compositions without losing the environment’s identity.
Which should I use for environment reference: fast mode or high-quality consistency?
Fast mode is ideal for exploring lots of options quickly and keeping costs down. The high-quality consistency option is better when you want stronger continuity and higher confidence in a locked look. A common approach is to iterate fast, then re-render key shots in the higher-consistency mode.
Can I turn environment reference images into video shots?
Yes. You can generate video from text prompts, or use image-to-video by selecting start and end frames from your storyboard images. Anchoring motion to your established frames helps preserve the environment design while adding movement and atmosphere.
Can I add voice, music, and sound effects to test the feel of a location?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports text-to-speech, speech-to-speech for transforming uploaded audio, and music generation from text prompts. You can attach audio to shots to explore tone, pacing, and mood alongside your environment reference.
Do I have to stick to one model while building environment reference?
No. CinemaDrop gives you access to multiple third-party models across image, video, lip-sync, and audio, each with its own credit cost. You can pick what fits each scene while keeping the entire project organized in one storyboard workflow.
