Dive into the future of text-to-video creation and experience a new era of efficiency and innovation.
Step 1: Director's Mindset: Creating a Storyboard
For films with a coherent storyline, it’s essential to first create a script outline and storyboard, which guides the filming process by defining scene composition, camera angles, and transitions. The storyboard helps directors convey the film's core themes and emotions while providing clear direction to other departments, such as cinematography, lighting, and post-production.
Using tools like DeepSeek, directors can easily generate detailed storyboards and video material based on their creative ideas, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of missing or redundant shots during filming.
The MimicPC platform streamlines the process by enhancing the efficiency of storyboard and video content creation. With the integration of DeepSeek and AI video generation tools, MimicPC enables directors to quickly create precise visuals and video material without the need for local hardware. This cloud-based solution makes the entire process smoother and more efficient, leveraging powerful resources for optimal performance.
It's not complicated at all, just keep asking DeepSeek! Let’s take a Porsche 911 commercial as an example.
Generate the storyboard
Enter the following prompt in DeepSeek:
“I want to create a commercial for the Porsche 911. Please design a script, copy, and visuals, including a timeline, and output it in a table format. The video should be about 10 seconds long.”
This is the result generated by DeepSeek:
The generation is completed in an instant. You can visualize the scene in your mind first and continue to provide any modification requests.
Generate Storyboard Image Prompts
We can use DeepSeek to transform visual content into prompts that AI art models can interpret.For generating storyboard images, we highly recommend using the FLUX 1.1 Pro format, which delivers outstanding results. With MimicPC, users can generate up to five high-quality images per day for free! Alternatively, our ready-to-use AI image generation workflow offers a seamless and efficient way to create images for your projects.
High-Quality Storyboard Images with FLUX 1.1 Pro
Since there are many storyboard frames provided above, we will select five frames to generate images. There are the example prompts:
- “Ultra-detailed close-up of the Porsche 911 emblem, chrome finish reflecting soft studio lighting, sleek black background, cinematic shallow depth of field, hyper-realistic textures, luxury car branding, high contrast, 8K resolution, photorealistic, professional product photography style.”
- “Dynamic side profile shot of a Porsche 911 in motion, sleek silver body with reflective highlights, low-angle perspective, tires slightly blurred to emphasize speed, background blurred with motion streaks, asphalt road texture visible, golden hour lighting, cinematic atmosphere, ultra-realistic car rendering, 8K resolution, professional automotive photography style.”
- “A Porsche 911 driving on a winding mountain road at dusk, taillights creating elegant light trails, dramatic landscape with cliffs and trees, cinematic wide shot, ultra-realistic car details, glowing lights, 8K resolution, atmospheric and dynamic.”
- “Wide-angle shot of a Porsche 911 on a winding mountain road, vibrant green landscape with dramatic cliffs in the background, car positioned slightly off-center for dynamic composition, golden hour sunlight casting long shadows, ultra-realistic environment, cinematic atmosphere, 8K resolution, professional landscape and automotive photography style.”
- “Rear view of a Porsche 911 driving into a sunset, glowing red taillights contrasting with the warm orange and pink hues of the sky, long empty road stretching into the horizon, dust particles illuminated by the sunlight, cinematic wide-angle composition, ultra-realistic lighting and textures, 8K resolution, professional cinematic photography style.”
Step 2: Convert Storyboard Frames to Video Using MiniMax
Once you've generated the five storyboard frames, simply transform them into a high-quality video using the MiniMax I2V AI image-to-video generator. This powerful tool is available for free on MimicPC, allowing you to create one high-quality video every day.

- “Close-up of the Porsche 911 emblem.The iconic Porsche 911 emblem, gleaming under soft light.The camera slowly zooms out to reveal the sleek front grille and headlights.”
- “Side profile of the car in motion.The car is stationary, showcasing its iconic silhouette.The car accelerates smoothly, with the background blurring to emphasize speed.”
- “Interior close-up of the driver’s hands on the wheel.The driver’s hands grip the leather-wrapped steering wheel.The hands turn the wheel sharply, and the car responds with a quick, controlled drift.”
- “Wide-angle view of the car on a scenic road.The car is parked on a winding road with a breathtaking mountain backdrop.The car speeds off, leaving a trail of dust, with the camera panning to follow its movement.”
- “Rear view of the car driving into the sunset.The car is stationary, taillights glowing, with the sun setting in the background.The car drives into the horizon, taillights fading into the sunset, leaving a sense of awe and longing.”
Step 3: Add Background Music with AudioCraft_Plus
For adding background music to your video, you can use AudioCraft_Plus. This tool allows you to easily enhance your video with custom soundtracks, further elevating the viewing experience. It's designed to seamlessly integrate with your video creation process, making it easier to add the perfect audio layer to complement your visuals.
For example, the music I composed for this Porsche advertisement video was created using the following prompt：
“Slow, cinematic orchestral music with a sense of grandeur, deep bass tones building anticipation, subtle metallic sound effects ( like a soft 'ping' to emphasize the emblem), ambient pads creating a luxurious atmosphere, gradual crescendo to evoke awe and sophistication, 120 BPM, professional cinematic sound design.”
