This is a storyboard compiler.

It compile shots and scenes stored in folters to a multi page website and PDF files.

It's supposed to work with Krita for drawing the thumbnails.

Architecture

📁 src
    📁 <scene>
        ❗ data.yml
        🖌️ set.kra
        📁 <shot>
            ❗ data.yml
            🖌️ a.kra
            🖌️ b.kra

data.yml can use any custom key. But some of them are specifics:

• info key is rendered as text paragraph.
• in scenes, effet (night or day / indoor, outdoor) is displayed on the the scene index.
• in shots, valeur, mouvement, focale, hauteur are used in the shot list page.

Syntax

The info key allow a syntax to target scenes and shots.

SCENE/SHOT

Will create a link to a specific shot in a scene.

SHENE/

Will create a link to a scene.

./SHOT

Will create a link to a given shot in the current scene.

Dependancies

make php weasyprint poppler-utils imagemagick xmlstarlet fswatch

All of those are packaged by Debian.

Thanks

• Special thanks to Nicolas Peugnet and his suspicious love for Makefiles ❤️.
• To the Krita team and community for this cool free software. (And thanks to the KritaPy repo who help me to figure out that .kra are zip files that already contain the PNG of merged Krita layers).
• To Weasyprint, even if it is a bit slow 🥲.
• And of course to the Debian team and whole UNIX ecosystem !
