AI Moodboard Generator

Quick answer: A moodboard fixes how a project should look and feel before anyone shoots it. SceneMixer does not make a collage from a prompt; it draws the pieces a look board is made of, from your story: a casting board of character sheets, a location board of empty scene plates, a prop board, and three key-art posters, all in the three looks you choose in Step 1. The sheets are plain on purpose, with a white background, even light and no mood, so the atmosphere on your board comes from the style cards, the genre mood on the poster and the light you write into the storyboard. Download the images and arrange them in any slide or board tool.

The boards you can build

Look board	Three style cards in Step 1: Visual, Scene and Costume	The medium and finish, the architecture and materials, the clothing. Members can type their own description instead of a preset.	Step 1

Location board	Scene images	An empty place with three layers of depth and a readable light source. No people, no effects.	Step 2, Scenes
Prop board	Prop sheets	The object alone on white, lit only to show its material.	Step 2, Items
Key art	The cover art tab	Three posters with your title painted in, from your leads’ sheets, with twelve genre moods to choose from.	Step 2, Cover art

Why the sheets are neutral, and where the mood lives

A sheet is a reference: every shot that uses a character, place or prop is generated from its sheet, and the model copies the light and mood as faithfully as the face. A character sheet lit like a poster brings that lighting into a sunny scene. So sheets are deliberately plain, and the cinematic look is set elsewhere:

The three style cards set the medium (Visual), the spatial language and materials (Scene) and the clothing (Costume) for everything that gets drawn.
The genre mood on the cover art (Romance, Suspense, Epic, Family, Feel-good, Workplace, Horror, Comedy, Teen, Survival, Sci-fi, Action) sets the poster’s colours and atmosphere.
The storyboard names the light of each shot, its source, direction and time of day.

So for a board that feels like something, use the key art and the preview frames; for a board that says what things look like, use the sheets. Why sheets look plain.

Compare three looks cheaply

The visual style is fixed once you leave Step 1, so a look is tried by starting a short project in it. The free image allowance is counted per account, not per project, so this stays cheap:

Write or generate a 200-word story with one lead and one main place.
Start three projects from it, each with a different set of cards in Step 1. Reading is priced by length, so a short script is cheap.
In each, draw only the lead and the main place: two images per look, six in all, inside the first 15 free setup images.
Put the three pairs side by side and keep the one that feels like your film.

The Digital HD card under Visual Style in SceneMixer's project setup — The cards as they appear in step 1, *Set Up Your Project*. Pick one in each row before the script is read; the visual style is fixed once you continue.

A cast board, from a real sample

This is what a cast board looks like in practice: one reference image per character, on a plain background, in the look the project chose.

A lookbook for a story, not for garments

A lookbook in this sense is the set of outfits your characters wear. Each character sheet carries one outfit. A full change of clothes is a state of the same character, with its own image, so a board of five outfits for one lead is five state cards. A change that only needs words, such as rain, dust or a different time of day, is written in the storyboard and needs no new image. Costume changes and scene states · One outfit per character sheet · Editing a sheet: outfit, hair, expression.

It does not model real garments: you cannot photograph a jacket and have it worn in a still. Photos of what you sell become an ad, which is a video, not a set of stills. AI ad video generator.

Getting the images out

Open Assets in the sidebar: the Characters, Scenes and Items tabs hold every sheet from every project, and each entry has a Download button. Generated images do not count against your storage quota; only uploads do. Images after the first 15 are 7 credits each on the default image model. Arrange them in a slide deck or any board tool, add your own references beside them, and share the board. The asset library · Which image tier for sheets · AI movie pitch generator.

In SceneMixer vs. stitching tools together

Most AI drama workflows are five or six tools in a row. This is where each step happens here, and what it replaces.

Step	In SceneMixer	Doing it by hand with separate tools
Script and episode plan	Paste a script or a novel, or type one line: it is read into a cast, locations, props and an episode outline you can edit	A chat model writes the script; you split it into episodes and carry the text from tool to tool
Character faces and places	Every character, location and prop is drawn once as a reference sheet and attached to every shot it appears in	An image model, one sheet at a time; you upload the right reference to every clip yourself
Shots	A storyboard per episode with numbered shots and seconds; video is generated segment by segment in 9:16 or 16:9 against the same sheets	A video model, one clip per prompt, describing the same people again each time
Voices and dialogue	Lines are performed in the video itself, one voice per character, in any of 15 languages	A text-to-speech tool for each line, then a lip-sync pass on every clip
Fixing one shot	Edit that shot's text and regenerate the segment alone; the rest of the episode is untouched	Regenerate the clip, then re-cut the timeline
Finishing	Segments are composited into one episode file with its score; members download without the AI badge	A video editor to join the clips, add music and captions, then export
Publishing	You upload the finished episode to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or anywhere else; nothing is posted for you	Upload by hand, the same as here

FAQ

Is SceneMixer a moodboard generator?

It draws the pieces a look board is made of, from your story: character sheets, scene images, prop sheets and key-art posters, in the style you choose. It does not make a collage from a prompt.

Why do the images look so plain?

Sheets are references for every shot, and the model copies their light and mood. They are neutral on purpose; the atmosphere is set by the style cards, the poster’s genre mood and the storyboard.

Can I make a lookbook?

For characters in a story, yes: outfits are states of a character, each with its own image. It does not model real garments from photos.

Can I change the look after I start?

The visual style is fixed once you leave Step 1. To compare looks, start a short project in each; the free image allowance is per account.

Can I download the images?

Yes. Every sheet in the asset library has a Download button, and generated images do not count against your storage quota.

How many images are free?

The first 15 setup images on an account, then 7 credits each on the default image model. The first project’s first set of three posters is free.

Can I use my own reference images?

Members can upload a reference and have it redrawn in the project’s look. Celebrity, brand and franchise images are refused.

Can I write my own style?

Members can type a custom visual style description of up to 200 characters in Step 1. It replaces the preset for the whole project.

Draw the look before the shoot

Pick three style cards, draw the lead and one place, and see whether it feels right.
