Creative Director

The Creative Director is Kolbo.AI's all-in-one AI creative agent. It generates images, creates videos, builds storyboards, and handles complete project workflows from a single brief, keeping style and characters consistent across everything it produces.

Overview

Instead of juggling multiple tools and stitching work together by hand, Creative Director takes one creative brief and runs the whole pipeline: images, animated videos, and multi-shot storyboards, all in one workspace.

Instead of generating images one by one, Creative Director creates:

• Complete product photography sets
• Character variations across different scenes
• Marketing campaign visuals
• Consistent brand imagery
• Multiple angles and contexts

You give it one creative brief and a scene count (1–8); it plans each scene with its own distinct prompt, runs them in parallel, and keeps style consistent across the set.

Video Generation

Creative Director is not limited to images. From a single prompt it can generate B-roll and animated video, and it can animate up to 8 images in one action, perfect for product showcases, storyboards, and cinematic trailers.

• Text to video: describe a scene and generate video directly
• Image to video: animate stills the agent (or you) generated, without losing context or style
• Multi-model: choose any video model, such as Kling or Seedance 2, or let Smart Select pick the best one automatically
• Director styles: apply specialized styles such as action or elegant product direction to match your vision

Cinema Mode

Cinema Mode is a dedicated creative agent inside Creative Director that builds entire character-locked cinematic sequences. One command generates up to 8 narrative-consistent shots with character continuity, professional camera control, and parallel rendering.

• Character lock: your protagonist stays consistent from the first shot to the last
• Auto-pilot agent: the agent handles shot composition, narrative flow, and transitions
• Virtual camera rack: professional presets such as Anamorphic, Film Stock, or 24mm with depth of field control
• Multi-axis motion: stack up to 3 simultaneous camera movements (dolly, pan, tilt) in one shot
• Parallel rendering: all shots render at once, so you get the full sequence in minutes

Cinema Mode supports the full pipeline: text to image, image to image, text to video, and image to video. See the dedicated Cinema Mode page for details.

Use Cases

• E-commerce: Generate complete product photography sets
• Character Design: Create character in multiple scenarios
• Marketing: Build campaign assets quickly
• Branding: Maintain visual consistency
• Social Media: Create content variations

When to Use Creative Director vs Text to Image

Creative Director is the right call whenever you want one coherent set, not when you have N independently-written prompts.

Editing Scenes After Generation

Once Creative Director finishes, each scene is a separate image with its own URL. To edit a single scene:

1. Pick the specific scene you want to change
2. Open Image Editing and pass that scene's image as a Source Image
3. Describe the edit

Do not re-run Creative Director with the same brief to "fix" one scene — you'll regenerate the entire set from scratch and the other scenes will change too. Treat each completed scene as a standalone image once the set is done.

For pixel-accurate edits (logos, faces, embedded brand assets), follow the Image Editing workflow.

Character Consistency Across Scenes

If a specific character must look the same in every scene:

• Recommended: Create a Visual DNA of the character, then apply it to the Creative Director generation. The DNA carries through every scene automatically.
• Avoid: Describing the character's appearance in detail in the brief. Visual DNA always injects its saved description into each scene's prompt automatically (that's how it carries identity across the set) — re-describing the character in your brief competes with the DNA and causes drift. Keep the brief focused on scene-level direction; let the DNA handle the identity.
• For pixel-accurate face embedding (not just consistency): Creative Director's strength is consistency across scenes, not exact-pixel face matching. If you need the host's exact face down to the pixel, generate scenes individually via Image Editing with the face photo as Source Image.
