This optional session walks you through how the Movie Machine automatically converts books and prose into a full screenplay and production bible, giving non-scriptwriters an instant, film-ready foundation. You’ll learn how to edit your script, refine character and setting bibles with AI, and prepare everything for conversion into a storyboard. By polishing these elements early, you ensure your director’s notes and visual assets are accurate, consistent, and ready for seamless AI film production.

Below is the transcript of the session. Please note that the transcription was done by AI so some inconsistencies may occur.

This session's optional because if you write scripts already, we probably won't be doing this yet, you'll be skipping it over. But if you write books or pros and you're not writing a format native to, screenplays or scripts that can be converted easily into film production, no worries. Moving machine actually does that automatically for you.

So if you upload a book into the moving machine, we turn it automatically into a script and production Bible, you pay $1 per 1000 words for this. Not actually that expensive. And honestly, after that, you're only gonna pay $1 per 1000 words for your storyboard as well. But that's per 1000 words of your screenplay.

So it's actually not all that expensive to get from book to screenplay plus production Bible. And then from there, convert the screenplay plus production Bible into. Your director's note storyboards and full film. What's amazing about this is that one, you get a free movie poster, which is really fun.

You so you can use this, you can even use it as a book cover technically as well if you already have a book. So this is the Forever Gone movie poster. I love it actually. Now, another thing is that what's really key about this process is once it's done, I just uploaded my book. It only takes.

Something like 10, 15 minutes. If you have a longer book, maybe up to a half hour, depending on the length of your book. But once it's done, the goal is to actually edit the screenplay so that it matches the scenes of our story that we want to actually film. And our production Bible with our characters, settings and props also matches what we want to be in our director's notes.

Essentially, every scene we produce costs money. And we convert these scenes directly into shots in your storyboard. So what we want to do is edit this, edit our script, and edit our production Bible. So it's looking good. And there's a few fun things you can do here. First is you can actually export your script and production Bible as a PDF or Word doc.

But what's really awesome about this step is you can do a lot more than just export your production Bibles and script from Creative Web. You can actually edit it directly inside. Let me first show you how to edit your script. So if you have these two toggles here, view, which is what I'll start on by default, and you could flip and read through your screenplay one page at a time, or you can click edit, which is where we can start to have the real fun and actually edit your screenplay.

Now, why might you want to edit your screenplay? First of all, you might wanna edit your screenplay or script. If you're gonna be using this, maybe shopping it around, maybe you wanna send it to friends. However, you're gonna be using the screenplay. You probably wanna make sure it's really good, it's something you're really proud of.

And although the move machine is a great job at converting your book automatically into a script. This is where you can have some fun and now add the little touches, whether you wanna change some scenes, change some dialogue, add new scenes. All of it's yours. So once you click edit, you can see here the first scene, and then you can see some information about it.

Here you could see all the action kinda as it sets the scene. Then you have the first piece of dialogue, which actually is a voiceover from Danielle Harper. Now here's what's really cool. First of all, I can edit any of this. So instead of her saying, but that's not the case, maybe that's, but that's not the situation.

So I can change a word very easily. When you press enter it automatically knows what's gonna come next. So maybe this is my action, she stands up, next line becomes another character name, because in between action, there's likely going to be another dialogue. So then I can put the character name here.

Maybe this is Kelly. Then enter in dialogue. Hi. Enter in dialogue again. Now we're back to action. This automatically happens, you press enter. Very cool, but there's more to it. I can also press the slash button and it can create a new scene, new action line, new character line, and more really fun.

And underneath new scene two, I can add that. Actually the, interior, exterior, the location, and the time of day. So it goes right into the scene. Editing this is so helpful for you when you're trying to make a script and edit quickly. Now, in the production Bibles, let's say you wanna edit the character Bible.

We can go here and we can actually chat with AI to ask about the Bible content. And we can do this for any of our Bible. So maybe I wanna ask, what does Danielle look like?

AI will then tell me about what she looks like. So it talks about her wardrobe, her age. Great. And then what I might wanna do is actually add something here. And actually edit with AI how this looks. So what I can do here is select everything about Danielle and then press command. K. I'll be probably Ctrl K if you're on the, a Windows computer, but Command K and then I can take all this text and edit it with ai.

Instead, I'll say, I would like to add new text that describes. Danielle as having strong facial features curly but short, blonde hair and brown eyes, something like that. So I'm gonna click generate and we're gonna see this change. And what's really important about this is it's now gonna add this physical description.

It's gonna talk about what this should be. So just. Literally says if it what it added in green here, kept everything else the same, I'm gonna accept this. I could have modified it or I could have rejected the change. So I don't have to accept the eye changes. I can reject it, modify it, or accept it since I accepted it.

Now it's here in this document, and these character bibles will be used in the next step when you click convert to storyboard. These will be used to directly inform how your characters look in the storyboard. So actually getting what your characters look like. Described correctly inside of your character Bible is going to lead to the characters looking much more how you manage them to inside your actual director's notes and storyboard.

So I can click here to convert to storyboard, and it's gonna make sure that I've actually reviewed through all of the steps in the process so I can say that I've reviewed my scenes, my script's looking good, my character Bible's looking good, my location Bible, and props Bible looking good. Same thing with my cinematography and visual tone, my post reduction Bible.

And we're now ready to get started. When I click to Convert Storyboard. Now we're actually turning this script, which you still will have access to and director's notes into a full storyboard. This process takes just a few minutes, and it's also pretty inexpensive, and it's just $1 per 1000 words in your script.

Plus. 10 cents for every single character setting or object in your director's notes. So really not that bad. You're able to make a full storyboard and full director's notes, which includes all of your character settings and objects. Oftentimes for. Under a hundred dollars, sometimes even close to $50 or even 10 or $20 for a shorter fall.

So with all that said this is how this script step works. If you already have uploaded a script, your script's gonna automatically convert it right away into a storyboard of director's notes. But if you. Haven't uploaded a script. You upload a book Instead, it'll be converted to a script automatically.

You'll be able to download the script and use it, which is amazing and super valuable in and of itself. But then getting that script is actually going to make your next step director's notes and storyboard even more powerful and better. With all that said, thank y'all so much. I'll see y'all in the next session.
