Thank you Google Nano Banana Pro, I definitely needed a storyboard for this scene I already shot. And I did a smooth dolly in but sure, let's reshoot it and do two jarring axial cuts instead. blog.google/technology/a...

Screenshot of an example from the linked article about Google's Nano Banana Pro AI image model. The example shows an input image of a cinematic shot of a female astronaut standing in a city surrounded by tall buildings, and an output image of an AI-generated storyboard sketch of this scene, like the kind a filmmaker would create before filming the scene. The storyboard shows four separate shots: a wide establishing shot of the astronaut, then a medium shot of the astronaut, then a close-up of the astronaut's face, then a POV shot looking up at the tall buildings. Below the example is the text "Prompt: Create a storyboard for this scene"

Slack pro tip: be sure to always check the "Also send to [channel]" checkbox before sharing your wisdom in a long and complex thread! It'll help everyone understand that they can ignore all the other opinions and focus on yours.

Screenshot of a Slack thread text input field with a big red arrow pointing at the "Also send to #engineering" checkbox. Behind the arrow, the contents of the message in progress are, "I haven't been involved in any prior meetings or discussions about this and haven't looked at this channel in weeks, nor did I bother reading any of the preceding messages in this thread, but as the most powerful person in this channel, here's what I think..."
