Inspiration

I wanted to bridge the gap between storytelling and visual creation. The idea: "What if anyone could turn their story into a professional comic book?" I was fascinated by how AI could democratize visual storytelling, making comic creation accessible to everyone.

What it does

Transforms Stories into Visual Narratives Creates Professional Comic Books Generates Cinematic Trailers Provides Multiple Viewing Experiences Leverages AI for Creative Work Streamlines the Creative Process Solves Real Creative Problems Handles the Complete Workflow Optimizes for Engagement

How we built it

Architecture: Next.js frontend → API layer → AI services (Freepik, OpenAI) → Media processing (Sharp, FFmpeg) → SQLite database Core Pipeline: Key Components: Story Processor: Converts scripts to visual descriptions Media Composer: Generates and brands comic panels Trailer Renderer: Creates cinematic video previews

Challenges we ran into

  1. Dimension Mismatch Mystery Problem: Freepik images had different dimensions than expected Solution: Dynamic dimension detection in overlay system
  2. FFmpeg API Confusion Problem: Used non-existent audioOptions() method Solution: Combined all options into single outputOptions() call
  3. User Experience Puzzle Problem: Users couldn't find panels 2 and 5 Solution: Clear pagination logic with visual feedback
  4. Performance Bottlenecks Problem: Sequential image processing was slow Solution: Parallel processing with Promise.all()

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Complete Visual Storytelling Pipeline Technical Excellence Cinematic Video Generation User Experience Innovation Problem-Solving Mastery Mathematical Modeling Real-World Impact Code Quality AI Integration Success Creative Innovation

What we learned

Visual Storytelling Complexity: It's not just about generating images—it's about pacing, composition, and emotional flow AI Integration Challenges: Managing multiple APIs, handling rate limits, and ensuring quality consistency Media Processing Math: Image composition optimization and audio-visual synchronization
