Short-form storyboards, now as a PDF on Somssii — scenes, camera, captions and cut sketches from one line

A video gets made fast when its flow is settled before anyone presses record — what shows at which second, where a caption appears, which sound plays. Drawn cut by cut, that is a storyboard. Somssii now makes short-form storyboards: write one line about what you want to shoot and get a shooting storyboard as a PDF.

What is in the PDF

• Page 1, overview — the title and concept line, your request, the terms (length, aspect ratio, cuts, scenes), a timeline showing each scene's length (the key scene in red) and the story arc in one line.
• Scene pages — camera (framing and movement), action, captions, sound and notes for every scene, with timecodes (0:00–0:02.5).
• Cut sketches — 1–3 per scene, each carrying the shot, cut number, time and that cut's caption (the emphasised word in red).

The sample above is a 15-second storyboard made from one Korean line asking for a neighbourhood bakery's new salt-bread short that opens on the sound of fresh bread and ends with a visit to the shop. Download the PDF from the result page, or the ZIP for every page and cut as separate images.

How to make one

1. Open Create a storyboard and describe the video in one line.
2. Pick the length (15, 30 or 60 seconds) and aspect ratio (vertical 9:16, horizontal 16:9, square 1:1). The shop or brand name, tone or must-have scenes and a reference photo are optional.
3. It is usually ready in 5–10 minutes and keeps going if you close the window. We email you when it is done.

What it costs

It depends on the length — 15 sec (12 cuts) 30 credits, 30 sec (18 cuts) 50 credits, 60 sec (27 cuts) 90 credits. A credit costs at most ₩100 (bigger packs are cheaper), so a 15-second storyboard is at most ₩3,000. A hand-drawn 15-second ad storyboard from a freelance marketplace usually costs ₩70,000–300,000 (public prices on Kmong and Soomgo, October 2026). You can try one 15-second storyboard free with the 30 credits you get at sign-up.

If a cut cannot be drawn, that frame is left blank in the PDF and its share of credits comes back; if no cut can be drawn, you get everything back.

After the storyboard

Shoot it yourself or hand it to whoever shoots and edits. If you need a finished video without shooting, Somssii Shorts makes a vertical video with captions, music and narration from one line.
