ANIMATED STORY CREATION · Workflow idea

Bring a story idea to life as a sequence of scenes.

Describe a character, setting, and moment to explore, then prepare a short illustrated story with motion and subtitles. Keep the scenes and text together in a private draft so a creator can check that the story is coherent, appropriate for its audience, and ready to share.

Keep in mind

A finished sequence may contain inconsistent characters, confusing events, unsuitable details, or text that changes the intended meaning.
