Poetry Cinema turns any poem into a fully assembled 30-second vertical short film. The pipeline takes your poem from raw text all the way to a finished micro-cinema video — scene breakdown, AI storyboard images, animated video clips, text overlays, voiceover narration, ambient sound, and final assembly with transitions and fade to black.

The production follows a four-phase workflow with review gates between each phase. Scene breakdown assigns timing, emotional beats, and colour phases to each line. Storyboard generation creates visual references for every scene. Video generation animates each storyboard into a clip. The final assembly stitches everything together with breathing text overlays, narration, and sound design.
