The Benefits of Using GenAI Visual Treatments for Scriptwriters

Imagine this:

Instead of sending the usual written treatment to sell your story or secure funding, what if you could send a 1-minute AI-generated trailer that captures the essence of your film?

→ For scriptwriters, AI is about to change the game in a big way.

Visual Treatments

A visual treatment powered by AI can bring your script to life in a way words on a page simply can’t. It’s not just about presenting the plot—it’s about immersing potential investors, producers, and decision-makers in the mood, tone, and emotion of your story.

The kind of experience they’ll feel and not just read.

Think about it:

- The atmosphere of your thriller, wrapped in moody, cinematic visuals
- The energy of your action sequences, presented in a fast-paced montage
- The intimacy of your drama, conveyed through subtle AI-driven facial animations

This approach will not only make your story stand out but will also increase the chances of getting a response. When someone watches a compelling AI-generated trailer, they’ll be much more likely to dive into the written treatment—and maybe even fast-track the green light for your project.

Here’s an example:

I had created an AI-generated trailer for a recent project. Mind you I only had access to Runway Gen2 at the time so yes, the lip sync isn’t amazing and some of the movement is lacking. But that is not the point. The point is to get across a draft of your vision.

Take a look and imagine how something like this could elevate your treatment.

The future is clear: AI-generated visuals will become a must-have tool for filmmakers looking to make an unforgettable first impression.
