The prompt
“A lighthouse keeper on a foggy coast begins hearing voices calling from the mist. Seven keepers have vanished over 137 years, and the light has been guiding something other than ships to shore.”
How it works
Write your prompt
Start with a short description of your story idea. A sentence or two is all you need.
A little fox in an enchanted forest hoards acorns until a hungry squirrel family teaches him the joy of sharing.
AI optimization
The AI expands your prompt into scene structure, narration flow, and visual direction.
Scene 1: A copper-furred fox darts between mossy oaks, stuffing golden acorns into his burrow. Scene 2: A tiny grey squirrel knocks on his door, eyes wide with hunger...
Video generation
Each scene is generated with its own visuals, voiceover, and sound.
"Deep in the enchanted forest, Felix the fox had a secret - a burrow overflowing with golden acorns he refused to share with anyone..."
Final assembly
Narration, visuals, transitions, captions, and music come together into the finished video.
Voiceover + AI video scenes + word-by-word captions + gentle background music = your finished 1-minute story video.

Questions before you create?
Everything you need to know before making your first video.
What makes this lighthouse horror story different from other ghost stories?
This story leans into cosmic horror and the unknown rather than traditional ghosts. The fog itself is the threat. The horror comes from atmosphere and mystery, not jump scares.
Can I change the setting from a lighthouse to another location?
Yes. After generation, you can edit the narration, scene descriptions, and visuals in the FrameSurfer editor.
What visual style works best for this story?
The AI generates moody, atmospheric visuals with fog, dramatic coastal lighting, and dark interiors. The Cinematic and Realistic styles work particularly well.
