How to Create a Fully Illustrated Story with ChatGPT and Midjourney – Step-by-Step
To create a fully illustrated and narrated story with ChatGPT and Midjourney i created a step-by-step process to get a good workflow and would be easy to replicate. Here are 8 steps to create a illustrated story with Generative AI tools:
Step 1 – Create a prompt for the story
Start by creating a prompt for the story. In this case, the prompt should include details about the two main characters, the main plot, and the location of the story.
For example, “Create a fantasy adventure story based on the following information: two main characters, main plot, and location in Amazon Jungle.”
Step 2 – Run the prompt in ChatGPT
Head over to ChatGPT and paste in the prompt from Step 1. Hit “Play” and the story will be generated.
Step 3 – Create a prompt for the character background stories
To give the two main characters background stories, create a prompt for ChatGPT that will provide vivid and interesting descriptions of the two main characters. Paste this prompt into ChatGPT and hit “Play.”
Step 4 – Run a Python GPT-3 Script
Create a Python script to divide the story into scenes and to generate a series of Midjourney prompts from those scenes.
Paste the prompts into a text file and save it.
Step 5 – Narrator Voice Over
Create a narrator voice by heading over to Azure Speech Studio, pasting in the story, and exporting it as an MP3 file.
Step 6 – Improve Narrator Voice
To get a crisp, sharp voice for a narrator, depending on the type of project, you can use a software like Adobe’s AI Speech Enhancer. Drop the exported MP3 file from Step 5 directly into the enhancer and use its dialogue enhancement features to get the perfect sound.
Step 7 – Create Images in Midjourney
Create the illustrations for the story by using the mid-journey prompts from the script created earlier. Paste those prompts into mid-journey and select the images which best fit the story.
Step 8 – Put It All Together
Put it all together using an editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro or similar. Try to match images with the story and narrator voice.
How to create prompts to get a good story in ChatGPT
Let’s look more into why the prompt I used here is a good way to get a great story from ChatGPT or GPT-3. Here is the prompt I used to get the main story:
Write a fantasy adventure story with vivid descriptions of the surroundings and what happens to the main characters. The story should be high pace with surprising twists in the plot. Write the story based on the following information:
Main Character 1: Jake Stormbringer, a handsome 35 years old expedition researcher, from California, USA, MIT graduate
Main Character 2: Eve Thompson, a 22 year old stunning beautiful afro american expedition researcher, from London , UK, Oxford Graduate
Main plot: Jake and Eve discover a hidden path in the Amazon jungle while they are on a research expedition. They follow the path into a deep cave that goes deeper and deeper, ending up in a well lit cave room that contains a Time-machine. Describe in detail where they traveled with the time machine and what they learned from the past and the future.
Location: The Amazon Jungle, Wherever the time machine takes the main characters
WRITE THE FANTASY ADVENTURE STORY:
Why is this a good story prompt?
The prompt provides ChatGPT with a clear set of instructions for generating a fantasy adventure story.
It includes specific information about the main characters, Jake Stormbringer and Eve Thompson, including their backgrounds and professions.
It also provides a detailed plot for the story, including the setting and the discovery of the time machine.
The prompt also asks for vivid descriptions of the surroundings and for high pace with surprising twists in the plot, which gives ChatGPT a clear idea of the type of story that is desired.
By providing this specific and detailed information, ChatGPT is able to generate a coherent and engaging story that follows the instructions provided in the prompt.
How to create prompts to get a background character story in ChatGPT
Let’s look more into why the prompt I used here is a good way to get a great background story for my main characters from ChatGPT or GPT-3. Here is the prompt I used to get the background stories:
Write a vivid and interesting background summary of our 2 main Characters Jake and Eve:
Main Character 1: Jake Stormbringer, a handsome 35 years old expedition researcher, from California, USA, MIT graduate
Main Character 2: Eve Thompson, a 22 year old stunning beautiful afro american expedition researcher, from London , UK, Oxford Graduate
WRITE A BACKGROUND SUMMARY OF THE 2 MAIN CHARACTERS:
Why is this a good character background story prompt?
The prompt is a good prompt to get a good story from ChatGPT because it provides specific and detailed information about the two main characters, Jake Stormbringer and Eve Thompson.
The prompt includes information about their ages, occupations, and educational backgrounds, which can give ChatGPT a good foundation to build a story around.
Additionally, the prompt provides descriptions of the characters’ physical appearances, which can help ChatGPT to create vivid and interesting descriptions of the characters.
With this information, ChatGPT can generate a story that is more rich and detailed, and that has more depth and complexity.
