Idea

Stories stick. Yet most ideas, news and concepts still arrive as walls of text that people skim, or skip altogether.

What if anyone could share a prompt, and get back a story with facts, curious questions and a character to follow?

Romeo is my exploration of what multimedia storytelling could look like next.

Solution

Ask anything. Get a story.

Romeo researches your prompt, writes a script with facts and curious questions, then animates and narrates it as a short story you can watch in about a minute.

The first prototype, replayed. No mic needed.

Process

I designed the system that turns one prompt into a finished story: research, script, scenes and voice.

Romeo, Character Development

Romeo was designed with turnarounds, details, expressions, gestures and motion, giving the image models a complete visual reference that keeps him consistent across every story.

Gestures and poses

Scene Development

Four scene setups, each matched to a kind of topic, give the models enough range to stage anything around the same character.

Home base: thinking and planning

City & people: observing the world

Imagination: what-ifs and big ideas
