Storylight — Independent R&D prototype

Creative-production experience.
Applied to automation.

Arion Digital prototypes custom tools that explore how AI can connect production steps—with people retaining creative control.

We explored connecting story planning, AI-assisted imagery, human review, and editing. The prototype includes an image library and editing timeline; some connections remain experimental.

What worked

The captured interface displayed a library of 32 saved images, selection controls, and an existing editing timeline with image thumbnails and caption items.

What remained unfinished

Approval persistence and the handoff into editing were not verified. The shot plan reported missing images despite the populated library. Generation, timeline changes and export were not tested.

The captures show existing AI-generated story images inside the real classic interface, viewed in an isolated read-only copy. No selections or approvals were changed. The saved React preview opened blank in that test.
