About the Noir style

Visual characteristics

A private investigator office in 1940s classic noir style. Venetian blind shadows stripe across the desk in amber lamplight where whiskey and case files compete for space. Deep shadow black chiaroscuro lighting from a single desk lamp creates dramatic atmosphere of moral ambiguity.

Adapt the preset recipe

Select and copy the recipe below as a starting point. In Storyboard, choose My styles, create a custom style and open Advanced mode. Adapt the wording to your scene and the editor's 1,000-character limit; a Studio preset is not imported automatically. Camera and film references describe the intended look, not equipment used to create the preview or guaranteed animation.

Plan shots in the Noir look

Step 1: Study the visual recipe
Compare the Noir still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.
Step 2: Build your storyboard
Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.
Step 3: Review before video
Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
