【CF-15B】Reflection Video #4 / Adaptive Healing Post / Webtoon-style Animated Comic / Light Novel Appeal

Q: Hey Grok, we were working on developing my brand ClaudioFluteLife in our previous chat.

You've helped updating the brand mindmap with key ideas, AI-imaging workflow and open tasks. You've also help revised the storyboard for reflection video #4 with a few reading scenes. We stopped at preparing the draft on the next healing post on phone downgrade. I wonder if we can continue our chat here as the previous chat has become too long.The next thing I want to work on is the imaging prompts of reflection video #4. Can you pickup what we've been up to?

A: I’ve got the thread from our previous chats, particularly our work on your ClaudioFluteLife brand. We’ve been refining the mindmap for your brand, updating the AI-imaging workflow, tracking open tasks, and revising the storyboard for Reflection Video #4, which now includes distinct reading scenes for Emily. We left off drafting the next healing post about the phone downgrade experience, emphasizing themes like Step Back and Alternative Rhythm...

Q: I've watched a video tutorial just now and learned that I can use the "blend board" feature of OpenArt to blend a character onto a background image.

If you remember we have discussed about the feasibility of having separated background and character "layers" for more consistent scenes. Now I learned that image-to-image is not for such a purpose but the blend board is. The only thing I need to pay attention to make sure the prompt that generate Emily and the one that generates the background are on the same perspective. The blend board can handle lights and shadows automatically. I wonder if we can try out blend board-ing with some of the reflection video scenes!

Today is the day for posting my healing post on healing. I've done a final editing for both the long version and the ad version. Per our past discussions, the long version will appear on my FB page for followers and the ad version will be shown in ad for strangers for brand awareness.

Storyboard for Reflection Video #4 - Refined and Brief

Your updated storyboard captures the essence of the healing posts—growth through personal discovery, the rhythm of rest, and the contrast between book summaries and original reading. Here’s a more concise version that preserves the best elements:

---

Opening Scene:
(Quick intro with upbeat flute melody)
大家好！我係Claudio，你嘅長笛療「預」師！喺香港，生活衝衝衝，連閱讀都要快。但成長唔係為咗長知識，而係揾到你嘅起點。跟住我同Emily，一齊感受吓！

Core Message:
(Visual: Emily reading, split-screen with book summary)
知識越多越好，但成長只從「卡住嘅地方」開始。書摘影片講重點，卻唔知你嘅需要。唯有自己睇書，發現邊句觸動你，邊度最需突破。

Example Scene:
(Clip: 《為什麼是我來神說教》 excerpt)
例如呢個故事：老師重返講台，被學生激發共鳴。校長話：「教導有兩種——發洩情緒，定希望成長。」書摘觸動你嗎？原片會有更深共鳴！
(Show brief video excerpt)

Call to Action:
(Emily listening to flute live, serene night setting)
成長需要唔同嘅節奏，慢慢感受、悄悄改變。試吓睇幾頁書，或聽長笛直播，唔追求療癒，靜靜揾你嘅成長起點！

Closing:
(Text overlay: 【輕·盈笛生活】with Claudio)
一齊【尋樂、居中、成長】(Find Joy · Step Back · Grow Within)！

Notes: This version trims repetitive explanations, focuses on key visuals (Emily reading, the video clip, night-time flute scene), and keeps the narrative tight at ~100 words. It highlights the growth-starting-point theme, the book-summary vs. personal-discovery contrast, and your unique flute-rhythm rest concept. The call-to-action is clear, inviting viewers to engage with your brand. If you’d like to adjust the video clip length or add a specific flute melody, let me know! Ready to roll with this, or any last tweaks before posting?

Q: I'm thinking about how to put the generated materials (converted to anime style images) and videos (using OpenArt to convert the anime images) into a video.

Lately, I'm reading a tutorial book on vertical Webtoon for phone viewing. I love this format and how the comic can use frames in creative ways (Like I don't have to frame each scene with solid borders but have them overflow and transition naturally into the next frame), as shown in the attached picture taken from the book.I think if I'm to adopt Webtoon style for my reflection video and subsequent character story (imagine the scenes are moving downward as if one is scrolling a webpage), I will need longer images (which should be easy with the Expand function), and a way to fade out the edges of each image/video scene. I wonder if DaVinci Resolve Studio have built-in effects for this or I will need other tools for help. I also want to hear your idea on how best to create a video Webtoon (E.g. Best video aspect ratio, any practical changes needed for scene generation in OpenArt etc.).

---

A: It’s fantastic to hear that your scene generation is progressing well with the anime-style images and that you’re exploring the blend board further—those tests will surely pay off with time! Your excitement about the vertical Webtoon format from the tutorial book is infectious, and the attached image beautifully showcases that creative overflow of frames, which could add a dynamic, scrolling feel to your Reflection Video #4 and future Emily Chan stories. Adopting this style is a brilliant way to engage viewers on phones, aligning perfectly with your ClaudioFluteLife vision of accessible, healing content.

For creating a video Webtoon, DaVinci Resolve Studio offers some promising built-in effects that can support your needs. You can use the Blur or Vignette tools under the "Effects Library" to fade out the edges of each image or video scene, creating that seamless transition you’re aiming for. The Fusion tab also allows custom fades with gradient wipes, giving you control over how scenes blend into one another as they scroll downward. If you need more advanced layering or animation, you might explore plugins like Motion Array or external tools like Adobe After Effects, but Resolve’s native capabilities should handle the basics effectively. Test a few frames in Resolve to see if the fade meets your vision—start with a soft vignette and adjust the opacity gradient.

As for crafting the video Webtoon, here’s a tailored approach:

• Best Aspect Ratio: Opt for a 9:16 vertical ratio (e.g., 1080x1920 pixels), which matches mobile screens and Webtoon standards. This ensures your content fills the phone view naturally as viewers scroll or the video progresses.

• Scene Generation Adjustments in OpenArt: Since you’ll need longer images, use the Expand function as you suggested, extending the canvas vertically to create tall, continuous scenes (e.g., 1080x3000 pixels). In the prompts, specify a vertical composition—e.g., “@Emily in a light pastel blouse, reading on a bench, 9:16 vertical frame, scene extending downward with blurred park background”—to guide the AI. For the fade effect, add “softly faded edges on top and bottom” to the prompt, though you may need to refine this in Resolve post-generation.

• Practical Workflow: Generate each scene as a tall image in OpenArt, then convert it to a short video clip (e.g., 3-5 seconds per scene) using OpenArt’s video tool. Import these into DaVinci Resolve, stacking them vertically on the timeline. Use the Transform tool to adjust positioning and the Crop tool to align transitions. Apply a subtle scroll animation with Keyframes in the "Position" parameter, mimicking a webpage scroll, and layer the fade effects. For audio, sync your flute live show segments or ambient sounds to enhance the rhythm.

• Creative Tips: Leverage the Webtoon’s frame overflow by generating overlapping elements (e.g., cherry blossoms from the attached image drifting into the next scene). Keep scene durations short but varied (3-7 seconds) to maintain a natural scroll pace, reflecting your Alternative Rhythm theme. Test with a sample sequence—perhaps Emily’s park reading transitioning to the K-drama split-screen—to ensure the flow feels intuitive.

This setup should bring your vision to life, blending the anime aesthetic with a scrolling narrative. Start by experimenting with a few scenes in Resolve, and let me know how the fades and scroll effect turn out—I’d love to refine the prompts or workflow further based on your feedback! What do you think about kicking off with the park and K-drama scenes?

---

Q: Okay! I will try expand existing generations and test prompting the transitions and fadings in advance to see if they're supported at all. Can you tell me more about how Webtoon present a story with both frame and frameless techniques?

---

A: It’s great that you’re diving into expanding your existing generations and testing transitions and fades—those experiments will really shape the unique flow of your video Webtoon! Since it’s now Thursday, July 10, 2025, at 04:55 PM HKT, you’ve got a perfect evening ahead to explore this further. I’m excited to dive into how Webtoon presents stories using both framed and frameless techniques, drawing from the creative style you admired in the tutorial book and the attached image.

Webtoons, especially in their vertical scroll format, blend framed and frameless techniques to create a dynamic, immersive narrative that feels natural on mobile screens. Here’s a detailed breakdown to inspire your Reflection Video #4 and Emily Chan’s story:

Framed Techniques in Webtoon

• Defined Panels: Traditional comic panels with solid borders guide the reader’s eye through a structured sequence. In the attached image, the initial panel with the character apologizing sets a clear starting point. For your video, this could be a distinct scene—like Emily reading on the park bench framed with a soft rectangle—to establish a focal moment (e.g., 3 seconds of a static shot).
• Panel Size Variation: Webtoons often use varying panel heights to control pacing. A tall, narrow frame might linger on Emily’s serene expression, while a short, wide one could capture a quick action (e.g., turning a book page). In OpenArt, prompt for “vertical 9:16 frame with varied panel heights, soft borders” to mimic this.
• Gutter Spacing: The space between panels (gutters) can be minimal or exaggerated to suggest time or mood shifts. For instance, a wide gutter after Emily’s park scene could transition to the K-drama split-screen, implying a reflective pause. Use Resolve’s timeline gaps to adjust this pacing.

Frameless Techniques in Webtoon

• Overflow and Continuity: As seen in the attached image with cherry blossoms drifting across panels, frameless techniques allow elements to spill over, creating a seamless flow. You could generate a tall image where dappled sunlight or leaves extend from Emily’s bench scene into the playground slide scene, prompting “continuous vertical scene with overlapping natural elements, faded edges.”
• Layered Storytelling: Without borders, Webtoons stack visuals to suggest depth or simultaneity. Imagine Emily’s phone glow from the night scene fading into the background of a new frame, showing her past memory. In OpenArt, try “layered vertical composition, foreground character with translucent background memory, no borders.”
• Dynamic Transitions: Frameless layouts often use fades, zooms, or shifts to guide the scroll. The attached image’s romantic progression (from apology to embrace) relies on overlapping figures. For your video, prompt “vertical scene transitioning with soft fade from park to apartment, characters overlapping slightly,” then animate the scroll in Resolve with keyframes.

Combining Both in Your Video Webtoon

• Narrative Flow: Start with framed panels for key moments (e.g., Emily’s reading spots) to anchor the story, then use frameless overflows for emotional beats (e.g., cherry blossoms symbolizing growth). This mirrors your Subtle Transformation theme, guiding viewers from structure to free reflection.
• Pacing and Rhythm: Alternate between tight, bordered scenes (2-3 seconds) and longer, frameless sequences (5-7 seconds) to echo your Alternative Rhythm concept. In Resolve, use the vignette effect to soften edges on frameless parts, blending them as the scroll moves downward.
• Creative Prompts: For OpenArt, combine techniques—e.g., “@Emily in pastel blouse, 9:16 vertical frame, framed panel reading on bench transitioning to frameless park with fading cherry blossoms, soft edge fade.” Test this to see if the AI supports the overlap naturally.

Practical Tips

• Testing Transitions: Generate a tall image with a framed top (Emily on the bench) and a frameless bottom (park overflow). In Resolve, apply a gradient wipe to fade the transition, checking if OpenArt’s output aligns with the intent.
• Aspect Ratio Consistency: Stick to 9:16, expanding vertically with OpenArt’s tool, and ensure each scene’s height (e.g., 1000-2000 pixels) allows smooth scrolling without abrupt cuts.
• Feedback Loop: After testing, note which fades or overlaps work best—frameless cherry blossoms might need manual tweaking in Resolve if OpenArt struggles with seamless layering.

This blend of framed structure and frameless fluidity will make your video Webtoon feel both guided and organic, perfect for phone viewing and your healing narrative. I’d love to hear how your tests go—perhaps start with the park-to-playground transition? Any specific scene you’d like to prototype next?

Q: It's really eye-opening! When reflection video #4, how would you advise to transition, framed and frameless, between the scenes?

Another update is I've been watching Japanese dramas and light novels about stories in the high school campus. While I'm no long a student and I've been working for 20 years I wonder how would these stories (Usually about making friends, confirming one's uniqueness, being appreciated by a soulmate etc) would echo with me and how might they relate to my brand? While most of my audience are over 30-35 like Emily, my intuition tells me campus stories might appeal to them if I present them differently.

---

A: I’m thrilled you’re finding the Webtoon insights eye-opening—it’s a perfect fit for your creative vision! For Reflection Video #4, transitioning between scenes using framed and frameless techniques can enhance the narrative flow while aligning with your Subtle Transformation and Alternative Rhythm themes. Here’s how you might approach it:

• Framed to Framed Transition: For the shift between distinct scenes—like from Emily reading on the park bench (Scene 1) to the playground slide (Scene 2)—use a soft-bordered panel fade. In DaVinci Resolve, apply a vignette effect with a gradual opacity drop (e.g., 20% over 1 second) to close the first frame, then cut to the next framed scene with a slight zoom-in (using keyframes on the "Scale" parameter) to draw attention. This keeps the structure clear while suggesting a gentle passage of time, mirroring the calm pace of your flute live shows.

• Framed to Frameless Transition: Moving from the slide scene to the K-drama split-screen (Scene 3), start with a framed panel and let it overflow into a frameless sequence. Generate a tall image in OpenArt with the slide scene fading at the bottom into dappled light or playful swings, then prompt a seamless blend into the apartment’s cozy glow with the TV screen. In Resolve, use a gradient wipe transitioning from the slide’s muted earthy tones to the apartment’s soft grays, animating a slow scroll (e.g., 5 seconds) to evoke a dreamy shift, reflecting True Rest.

• Frameless to Frameless Transition: Between the K-drama scene and a potential night-time phone scene, let elements like musical notes or cherry blossom petals (inspired by your anime style) drift across the vertical canvas. Prompt OpenArt with “vertical 9:16 scene, frameless, fading notes from phone to night sky, soft edges,” and in Resolve, apply a subtle cross-dissolve (1-2 seconds) with a downward pan to maintain the scroll effect, tying into your Seek Joy theme.

These transitions can be tested with your expanded generations, adjusting fade durations based on how naturally they flow when scrolling.

Now, your interest in Japanese dramas and light novels set on high school campuses is a delightful pivot! Even though you’ve been working for 20 years and most of your audience (like Emily) is over 30-35, these stories—centered on making friends, confirming uniqueness, and finding appreciation from a soulmate—can resonate deeply. They tap into universal themes of identity and connection that transcend age, especially for adults reflecting on their youth or seeking renewed purpose. For you, these narratives might echo as a chance to revisit personal growth moments, perhaps seeing parallels with your own journey from student to creator, or finding joy in mentoring others through ClaudioFluteLife.

Relating this to your brand, campus stories can appeal to your older audience if presented with a fresh lens. Instead of focusing on teenage romance, frame them as metaphors for adult rediscovery—e.g., “making friends” becomes building a supportive community, “uniqueness” ties to embracing one’s Inner Growth, and “soulmate appreciation” evolves into self-acceptance or finding harmony in daily rhythms. For Reflection Video #4, you could weave in a campus-inspired scene (e.g., Emily recalling a school memory while reading), using a frameless overflow of cherry blossoms or school uniforms to suggest nostalgia, then transitioning to her present healing moment. This could resonate with your audience’s longing for simplicity, aligning with Balance and Joy.

To present this differently, consider a short Webtoon segment where Emily watches a drama clip (like “Sayonara Maestro”) and reflects on its lessons, prompting viewers to share their own campus memories in comments. Use OpenArt to generate “vertical 9:16 anime scene, Emily in school uniform fading into modern apartment, soft campus background,” and animate it with a slow scroll in Resolve. This approach keeps it relatable yet aspirational, inviting your 30-35+ audience to reconnect with their past while embracing your brand’s healing philosophy. What do you think about testing a campus memory scene next, or perhaps integrating a drama clip into the storyboard?

---

Q: It's heartening to realize that regardless of age, there's a universal human need to seek identity, connection/community (where a "Step Back" attitude can be helpful), and reconciliation or harmony between the self and society—these are key areas for "Inner Growth". I believe the drama I’ve chosen, Nande Watashi ga Kamisama Sekkyou?, already fits the campus story genre, though its focus leans more toward the teacher, Urumi.

I really appreciate your suggested transitions! I’ve incorporated them into the storyboard mindmap below. Since webtoons and animated comics are new territory for me, could you help review the mindmap and assist with the following?

Image Prompt Adjustments: Please check whether the image prompts need to be updated to better suit webtoon-style transitions. I’ve noticed that OpenArt may not interpret terms like “framed” or “frameless” accurately. Let’s assume all generations will be framed, but feel free to revise the prompts so that related scenes share visual elements—such as consistent colors or graphical motifs—especially at the top and bottom of each image to create smoother transitions.

Transition Review: I’ve added transition notes based on your previous suggestions. Could you review them and also propose a transition between Scene 4 and Scene 5?

As before, you can refer to the “What sub-branches mean?” section to understand the purpose of each sub-branch. The “Video” branch outlines the overall design of the video, and the “Default transition flow” explains how scenes will be presented if no special transitions are applied. Feel free to revise anything under the “Video” branch to ensure it complements the updated transition notes.Lastly, since the drama screenshots and video clips are in 16:9, I’m unsure how best to incorporate them into a 9:16 (or another aspect ratio you’d recommend) reflection video. I’d love your thoughts on how to handle this.Please make your changes on the mindmap directly and return me with the updated opml source. Below is the mindmap source code:

---

Q: This morning, I found these two Webtoon strips examples from the tutorial book.

The left hand side feature a "framed to frameless" transition. The right one is even more interesting. Though it's still a "framed to frameless" transition, but the photos at the bottom scene look like if they are the frames themselves! I hope my reflection video can apply similar ways of transition.

Taking the left strip as a model, I can have the video first show a girl (Emily reading in the park) and then scroll down slowly to the sky at the top of the next scene. During the scrolling (Use keyframe function in Resolve), I can take time to show the narration text. Finally, the video will stop at the two-girl scene (Emily on the slide), and the narration text will finish as the second scene has become "stable". Please review the updated mindmap and see if the transitions can be further refined, paying attention to the fact that the narration text takes time to appear, which we have not catered for before.

---

Q: Paying close attention to the transition examples in the book, I realize that they are for different purposes!

For the left example, it has a SHORT space (留白) between the two scenes (場景). For the right example, a MEDIUM space is used to communicate the transition of scenarios (情境) from the actual world to the inner state of the character. Applying "scenario transition" to my video, I think we will need to separate the live show-watching scene into two scenes by adding a new final scene that express the inner transformation of Emily, that she now values reading page by page to discover her point of growth.See if you can update the mindmap again to accommodate the new final scene. Feel free to change anything, like splitting the narration text, adding transition and animation notes etc.

---

Q: I'm reading a chapter of the Webtoon tutorial book on "Rhythm and Speed*.

It's said that rhythm and speed helps with engagement. The reader may become bored and unfocused if the entire strip is of the same rhythm .Rhythm is produced by combining a few elements, namely frame border, frame size, and number of frames used for one action or scene. When one wants to accelerate the rhythm, he can use a single large frameless frame. When he wants to slow down the story, he can use multiple small bordered frames to "zoom in" to the action.

One can also pause a scene by using a single bordered frame in medium size.I wonder if the scenes in my reflection story would need this kind of rhythmic changes for better engagement. Since my video's main purpose is for reflection instead of communicating a complex plot I think it doesn't require very dramatic rhythmic change. But as long as we have left enough time and space for the narration text I think some variations in ryhthms can be beneficial. How do you think? Any updates needed on the storyboard?

---

A: It’s great that you’re diving into the “Rhythm and Speed” chapter of your Webtoon tutorial book—it’s a perfect lens for enhancing Reflection Video #4! It’s now 05:15 PM HKT on Friday, July 11, 2025, and I’m excited to explore how rhythm and speed can boost engagement while aligning with your video’s reflective purpose. Your insight that dramatic changes might not suit a reflection-focused narrative is spot-on, but adding subtle rhythmic variations—while ensuring narration text has ample time and space—can deepen the experience. Let’s assess the current storyboard and refine it accordingly.

Rhythm and Speed in Your Reflection Video

Since the video aims for reflection rather than a complex plot, the focus should be on a gentle, contemplative rhythm that supports True Rest and Subtle Transformation. The tutorial’s elements—frame borders, size, and frame count—can be adapted:

• Acceleration: A single large frameless frame could quicken the pace for transitional moments (e.g., scrolling through a sky or musical notes), keeping viewers engaged without overwhelming them.
• Slowing Down: Multiple small bordered frames or a medium-sized bordered frame can “zoom in” on key emotional beats (e.g., Emily’s serene expression or book page glow), encouraging introspection.
• Pausing: A medium-sized bordered frame can hold a scene (e.g., Urumi’s teaching moment) to let viewers absorb the narration and reflect.

Given your audience (30-35+ like Emily) values a relaxed pace, we’ll avoid jarring shifts but introduce variety to prevent boredom. The current 5-second scroll with 2-3 seconds of narration fade-in already provides space, so we can tweak frame styles and sizes within OpenArt prompts and Resolve animations to vary the rhythm.

Assessment and Proposed Updates

The storyboard’s seven scenes flow well, but some could benefit from rhythmic adjustments:

• Scenes 1-2 (Park to Slide): The slow scroll with a short space works, but adding a large frameless frame for the sky transition could accelerate the shift, making it feel lively yet smooth.
• Scene 3 (Split Images): The framed-to-framed transition is steady, but using multiple small bordered frames for each image (e.g., zooming into Emily’s face) could slow the pace for reflection.
• Scenes 4-5 (Drama Excerpts): The framed-to-frameless and frameless-to-frameless transitions are balanced, but a medium-sized bordered frame for Scene 4’s screenshot could pause the moment, enhancing the “teaching” impact.
• Scenes 6-7 (Live Show to Inner Growth): The medium space for the scenario shift is ideal, but a large frameless frame for Scene 6’s musical notes and a medium bordered frame for Scene 7’s book pages could vary the rhythm effectively.

These changes align with your goal of subtle variation, ensuring narration (2-3 seconds) fits within the scroll timing.

Notes on Changes

• Rhythmic Variations: Added a large frameless frame for Scene 1’s sky and Scene 6’s musical notes to accelerate transitions, multiple small bordered frames for Scene 3’s split images to slow the pace, a medium-sized bordered frame for Scene 4 to pause, and a medium bordered frame for Scene 7 to hold the reflection.
• Narration Timing: Ensured the 2-3 second fade-in fits within the 5-second scroll, with pauses allowing full text absorption.
• Testing Suggestion: Test Scene 3’s multiple frames and Scene 4’s bordered pause in Resolve, adjusting scroll speed if narration feels rushed. Let me know how it flows!

This approach adds subtle rhythm while keeping the reflective tone intact. What do you think—ready to experiment, or any specific scenes you’d like to tweak further?

Q: Lovely!! The book also emphasizes on making use of the downward scrolling movement.

Down-scrolling can be used to illustrate the movement of objects, hint upcoming moves together with the dialogue and facial expression of the character, and signifies the passage of time. Though down-scrolling is automatic in my video comic I think we can still make good use of it to increase engagement. Regarding object movements, I can think of replacing the slide with a swing at the playground.

Other movements include book flipping and screen glowing. Imaginative movement like musical notes coming out from the phone screen is also interesting. I wonder if you can introduce some movements into the prompts and other places of the story to enhance engagement more. Since it's a reflection video, I think hinting upcoming moves and highlighting passage of time are less crucial. Of course, feel free to add them should you think okay!

---

Q: Based on what you mentioned, it seems that some of the frames you referenced are not numbered scenes but rather transitional scenes (an extension of the last scene's bottom or the next scene's top).

I'm completely fine with that, but I suggest separating the transition scenes into their own branches for clarity.Additionally, I've noticed that OpenArt tends to generate close-up views of the character, which can make it challenging to expand the image's top and bottom naturally. It might be helpful to indicate a more zoomed-out perspective in the prompts. Also, you can remove the specifications for 9:16, as that setting is already configured in the OpenArt interface.

---

Q: Thank you for the update! We've covered so much techniques on storyboarding our webtoon-style animated comic, like framed vs frameless scenes, different frame sizes, vertical spaces between scenes, number of scenes allocated to an action, and the movement of objects.

Please review the mindmap again and:

• Check if the transition and animation notes are complete with the appropriate techniques.
• Regardless of the scene's frame size, include in the prompt detailed instructions about the top (Say a tall sky) and bottom (Say a wide grass ground) portions of the frame, hopefully helping the model to understand that I want extra details there, in case I decide on longer transitional space during production.
• Check if the extra final scene requested earlier on the psychological change of Emily to value page-by-page reading has been included in the mindmap.

Many thanks!

Q: I've reviewed the prompts and have some feedback and suggestions.

• Overall, the scenes I’ve tested look good, but there are certain phrases that feel unclear—particularly those with directional wording like “neon-tinted digital glow moving downward” or “playground swing gently swaying downward.” Please remove similar directional terms unless the movement direction genuinely contributes to the visual logic.
• Also, it’s best to avoid mentioning transitions within the prompts themselves, as OpenArt doesn’t interpret that concept reliably. Instead, focus on spatial instructions—zoomed-out views and extensions of pivotal elements like sky, grass, ceiling, and flooring. Think of these elements like the pivot chord in music when modulating between keys.
• For transition branches and notes, I’d like a consistent format such as: "short/medium/tall transition from grassland of Scene X to classroom ceiling of Scene Y using (transition device)." These devices can be simple—like fade-out/fade-in—or more abstract, such as “shining water droplets dripping down from Scene X to Scene Y.” That way, I can easily determine what to execute or whether I need to generate more scenes.
• I've also noticed I can’t create scenes without characters that still feel stylistically consistent with charactered ones. So for transitions, I’ll either extend pivotal elements from numbered scenes or use abstract visuals exclusively.
• As for transition types, let’s mark them directly on scene and transition branches—for example: "2. 知識 vs. 成長 (Framed/Frameless)" or "Transition 3–4 (Frameless)"—rather than using separate sub-branches.
• Note also that "@" should only be used before "Emily" for "@Emily" will tell OpenArt to generate a charactered scene.

I think the mindmap will be more organized and actionable with these changes.

---

Q: Yes, this is much closer! I’ve removed the old transition notes from the mindmap and shared the updated version below. Just to clarify—“shining water droplet” was only an example.

What I’d like is for you to review each transition point and assess whether it’s best executed through a simple extend-and-fade approach or through a more abstract visual metaphor. For those that lean toward abstraction, please suggest specific visuals in the notes that effectively link the two scenes.

Feel free to include short explanations for your proposed visual devices. For instance, in the tutorial book, there’s an example where a clock connects two scenes—one showing a woman about to be killed and the other revealing her inner thoughts. The clock serves as a symbolic device for both the passage of time and a frozen moment where the narrative shifts inward. Devices like this—when thoughtfully chosen—can add emotional resonance and narrative clarity.

---

Q: The new mindmap is cleaned and clearer and is ready for further refinement!

Below is my reading notes summarizing the Webtoon tutorial book's storyboarding section. Would you review it (Ignore the page numbers) to learn about the common storyboarding elements and see if there are any inspirations on improving the storyboarding of reflection video #4 for rhythm, moods and smooth transitions?

A: Thanks for catching that—I apologize for the oversight! It’s now 12:35 AM HKT on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, and I’ll ensure the entire content from the previous mindmap, including the frame sizes for main scenes and transitional frames, is preserved while maintaining the corrected capitalization (first word only of each branch and sub-branch). Let’s restore and verify everything.

Verification and Restoration

• Previous Content: The last mindmap (dated 10:00 PM HKT, July 14, 2025) included frame sizes like “Framed” and “Frameless” in scene and transition titles, along with specific details (e.g., medium-sized bordered frame in Scene 4, large frameless frame in Transition 6–7). I’ll ensure these are intact.
• Capitalization Fix: Confirmed that only the first word of each branch and sub-branch is capitalized, as per your request.
• Full Preservation: I’ll include all narratives, prompts, animations, and notes without omission.

Updated OPML Source

Below is the restored mindmap with all previous content and corrected capitalization:

Notes on Changes

• Frame Sizes Restored: Ensured all scene and transition titles retain their “(Framed)” or “(Frameless)” designations, reflecting the intended frame sizes (e.g., “1. 成長的起點 (Framed)”).
• Content Preservation: Verified that all narratives, narrations, image prompts, animation notes, and reuse notes from the previous version are fully intact, including the initial close-up in Scene 1, title logos, and updated transition prompts.
• Capitalization Correction: Adjusted to capitalize only the first word of each branch and sub-branch (e.g., “Scene title” instead of “Scene Title,” “Image prompt” instead of “Image Prompt”).
• Testing Suggestion: Test Scene 1’s initial close-up frame in OpenArt, then transition to the full scene in Resolve, ensuring the scroll feels natural with the 2-3 second pause.

This should now include all previous content with the correct capitalization. Let me know if everything looks good or if you’d like further adjustments!
