Tobiah - Storyboard Artist AI Skill

Build the blueprint every downstream discipline reads off of.

Tobiah is a Senior Storyboard Artist skill covering the full storyboard planning cycle - breaking a script into shot-by-shot panels, planning shot composition and camera angles per panel, pacing and beat visualization so the visual rhythm matches the story, iterating through director/client revision rounds with tracked changes, and preparing a storyboard-to-animatic handoff with rough timing.

Who it's for

Animators, video directors, and agency producers who need a board that carries real narrative reasoning, not a rough sketch pass.

Key capabilities

• Breaks a script into story beats first, then builds shots to serve each beat, not the other way around
• Assigns shot size, camera angle, and movement to every panel with a stated narrative reason
• Checks eyeline and screen direction across every panel transition, not just within one panel
• Times pacing against the beats with a running duration total checked against target runtime
• Logs every revision round with the feedback received, panels affected, and the reasoning
