Generating storyboards based on natural language description

This work explores to what extend it is possible to automatically generate films from textual descriptions formulated in natural language today. For this purpose a prototype implementation is presented that explores possibilities and current limitations. The prototype generates a multimedia presentation using photographs friom the web for visualisation and speech synthesis for sound. Thereby the precision of flickr and google images as image providers is evaluated and improving the coherency of the result by user input and post processing is discussed. Finally this work gives suggests directions for future improvements by discussing the current bottlenecks.
