Here is the storyboard.

Bring a topic, or the PDF you already teach from. In about 2 minutes you get numbered scenes in teaching order, narration timed per scene, and a drawn panel for each one.

How photosynthesis works

4 scenes · total 1:02

  1. 1

    Hand-drawn panel: three arrows of sunlight falling onto a leaf

    Sunlight arrives

    Every leaf is a solar panel. Sunlight lands on the surface and is caught by the green pigment inside.

  2. 2

    Hand-drawn panel: a cut-away leaf with one cell magnified beside it

    Where the work happens

    Zoom into one cell and you find chloroplasts. Water arrives from the roots, and carbon dioxide comes in through pores.

  3. 3

    Hand-drawn panel: a boxed reaction with a sun above the arrow

    The trade

    Using that light, the leaf rearranges 6 water and 6 carbon dioxide molecules into 1 sugar and 6 oxygen.

  4. 4

    Hand-drawn panel: a plant with one arrow to the roots and one leaving a leaf

    What the plant keeps

    The sugar travels down to feed the roots and stem. The oxygen leaves the leaf, and that is the part we breathe.

Every storyboard ends the same way: Send to TimaLens renders it as a narrated whiteboard video.

Labels are lettered onto the panels in the render

A chat writes prose. A lesson needs panels.

Ask a chat for a video script

Photosynthesis is the remarkable process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. In this video we will explore how this fascinating mechanism works, beginning with the structure of the leaf and moving on to the role of chlorophyll in capturing photons.

Three steps, in order

  1. 1

    Bring the lesson

    Type the topic, or bring the PDF, deck or script you already wrote.

  2. 2

    Watch it draw

    The teaching order arrives first. Then each panel is drawn in, one scene at a time.

  3. 3

    Send to TimaLens

    The finished storyboard hands off to TimaLens, which renders it as a narrated whiteboard video.
