Does anyone here use pitch decks? If so, what program do you use to create the images? Chatgpt does a good job in some areas, but it cannot depict any kind of action sequences. I tried some images for one of my westerns, and it will not show men shooting at each other - which is the whole point of a shootout. I wanted a picture of a 13 year old looking out a window with a look of surprise on his face - and they said it violated their policy (all faces must be expressionless). I also tried Idyllic, but that falls short as well. I ask for three people in an image - I get four (one of them was hovering in the sky). SO - just checking to see what you use for your decks and if you encounter these issues with them. Many thanks -
Hey Jerry,
I use Canva.com to generate great images, and I had the same issue with ChatGPT/Sora. ChatGpt is really sketchy and you have to be so specific it takes forever to get it right. Plus they have an actual Pitch Deck Template you can use which is pretty good. Here's a link to the deck I created for one project, and you can also push it up to YouTube as it will create an MP4 version too.
i don't use genAI – i just 'borrow' images from the web (including stills from movies etc) that are close to the vibe i'm after – i don't try to recreate scenes from the script, but rather design a series of "mood boards", as we referred to them in advertising – of course i place a polite note on each page where they appear, reminding readers that the rights to these images belong to the original creators
ChatGPT is ridiculously restrictive with image generation. I use MidJourney.
Thans for the information, everyone!!
