Show the setting
Identify the viewpoint and the most important shape. A high angle reveals a station layout. A view at eye level brings the traveler into focus.
AI image generator for your opening frame
Use the Happy Wan AI image generator to decide what belongs on screen before anything moves. Sketch a setting in words or give the model a reference to work from.
Picture planning
Choose what the image needs to explain
A picture for a storyboard has a different job from a close-up for a product page. Give the AI image generator one clear brief.
Describe the surface
Give the light a direction. A narrow highlight along a watch case can reveal its curve even against a dark backdrop.
Make space for movement
For an opening frame, leave room in front of a moving subject. Check where a raised arm or the next step could land.
Reference frames
Three briefs to try
Explore a location, an object and a gesture in the AI image generator.
Storyboard
Build a station storyboard
Keep the same platform and traveler across three proposed shots. Change only the distance between the camera and the subject.
Product detail
Show the edge of the dial
Bring the watch face close and light it from one side. Look for a clear outline between the rim and the background.
Character study
Find a readable pose
Frame the full dancer against the studio wall. Leave space around the hands so the silhouette reads at thumbnail size.
Working with a reference
From a rough idea to a usable still
Try the same brief in the AI image generator with two compositions before you polish either one.
01
Name the destination
A tall poster needs different framing than a wide video. Pick the shape of your final layout first.
02
Set a starting point
Enter a scene description in the AI image generator or choose an image-input mode to build on an existing picture.
03
Check the first result
Look at the image small to judge its silhouette. Open it at full size to inspect surface details and distracting edges.
04
Ask for one revision
Change the camera height, light direction or background in the AI image generator. Hold the other choices steady for a fair comparison.
Input and output
AI image generator questions
What makes a good reference?
Use a well-lit image with a clear view of the feature you want to keep. Tell the model which part matters, especially if the original has a busy background.
How do I keep a subject visible in a small thumbnail?
Try a simpler background and a tighter crop. Check a small preview before investing time in finer textures.
Can the image become the start of a video?
Save the frame, then choose a video mode that accepts a starting image. Use the motion prompt for what happens after that frame.
Where do I see the cost?
The AI image generator shows the credit cost for your selected model and settings before submission. Downloads require an eligible paid plan or credit pack.
