About the Post-Apocalyptic style

Visual characteristics

Post-apocalyptic wasteland in 2015 practical-stunt convoy style. Civilization in ruins: rusted vehicles in iron oxide, collapsed buildings overtaken by nature in muted olive. Survivors in improvised gear with leather and salvaged metal. Desaturated color grading: browns, ash greys, with toxic warning orange and radioactive green accents. Dust storms in ochre, overcast sky in sickly yellow-grey. Dangerous beauty in remnants of the old world, shot at magic hour with warm rim lighting.

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 Post-Apocalyptic look

  1. Step 1: Study the visual recipe

    Compare the Post-Apocalyptic still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
