“If you don’t have Grok on your phone, no worries, install it from the Play Store.”
Generating Stories and Scripts for Cartoon Characters
Open the ChatGPT application
First step – open the ChatGPT app on your phone. Once the app is open, there will be a prompt to type.
How to create a prompt?
- Enter a prompt there to generate a story.
- You can make some changes to the story that ChatGPT generates if you want.
- Select the entire story or script and copy it .
Story Prompt:
Write a short emotional story script in Hindi, around 150 words, suitable for a 40–50 second YouTube Shorts video.
The script must:
Begin with a big dramatic hook in the first 3–5 seconds to grab attention (like something shocking, funny, or surprising).
Use simple Hindi language, easy for everyone to understand.
The story should involve random Bigger size monster animals or birds in unusual , emotional, or ironic situations with a farmer (does not need to make complete logical sense, but must feel engaging and in one story include only one monster character).
Add unexpected twists that keep the viewer curious, like With that new character comes new advantages, such as “wealth from golden eggs or an easier farmer’s job due to being bigger.” but in this works one thing understand that animals can’t speak
End with a short 10 words strong emotional CTA that encourages viewers to ‘Like’ and ‘Subscribe’, Like इतने बड़े काम करके वो अब भी निराश था क्योंकि किसी ने लाइक सब्सक्राइब नहीं किया।”
Keep the tone dramatic, a little exaggerated, like viral short stories on YouTube/Instagram.

How to paste and modify a script for image generation
- Whatever story is created in ChatGPT, select it completely and paste it somewhere else.
- Next enter the prompt, for example, if you want to generate image details then enter the image prompt.
- This image prompt can be for different scenes.
Image generation Prompt:
Act as a storyboarding expert for Grok Imagine.
I will give you a story with numbered scenes.
Your task:
Create ONE short “Base Character Prompt” (under 30 words).
Style, size, colour, clothes (realistic/cinematic), vibe.
Output format:
Base Character Prompt: [prompt]
For EACH scene, generate a short image prompt (not action prompt), 35–40 words.
Keep character identical to Base Character. Like repeat some details for every previous prompt for the new visuals for consistency by using “Now” words
Show the scene as a still frame just BEFORE the action happens, not during.
Replace only background/props/pose according to scene.
Style must always match base.
Output format:
Scene [N] Prompt: [prompt]
This way, I can generate static images first and animate them later.

Read each scene’s static image prompt.
Convert it into an animation prompt that describes the motion/action happening in that scene.
