ReelaTales β€” Cinematic Engine for Authors

Your story as a TikTok / Insta ready reel.

Turn your story into a cinematic reel microdrama ready to share in social media. Select between Old engraving style or Swiss alp cut paper style.

The Engagement Gap.

Physical books are timeless. Their readers are not β€” today's audience lives on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, scrolling past anything that doesn't move, narrate, or hook them in the first three seconds.

ReelaTales bridges that gap. Our engine acts as an AI Director: it reads your manuscript, identifies the cinematic beats, designs consistent characters and locations, and outputs short-form trailers ready for the feed β€” instantly. The book stays; the audience comes back.

βš™οΈ The Magic Behind the Scenes

ReelTales combines classical storytelling with cutting-edge AI. Here's how we transform text into cinematic microdramas.

1

Story Input & Analysis

Submit any story. Our language model stack analyzes the narrative, identifies key scenes, and structures the dramatic arc. Claude handles English; Apertus 70B (Swiss-AI) powers Swiss German, Italian & Romansh; Mistral drives French generation β€” every story gets a native-language brain.

2

Prompt Generation

The assigned model generates 7 cinematic Runway prompts, a Suno music style prompt, and 7 caption/narration segments. For non-English orders, Runway prompts are always translated to English before submission β€” the video model only understands English, but the subtitles stay in the customer's language.

3

Video Generation via Runway

Runway AI transforms each prompt into a stunning 10-second video. We chain them together, using the final frame of each video as the seed image for the nextβ€”creating narrative continuity.

4

Audio & Voice Production

Suno generates original music matching the story's mood. ElevenLabs creates the narration (we use a playful French-accented English voice for authenticity).

5

Final Assembly

FFmpeg orchestrates the finale: concatenating videos, layering music + narration, adding SRT subtitles, and compositing intro/outro title cards. The result: one polished 90-second masterpiece.

6

Distribution & Beyond

Videos publish to YouTube with proper AI-disclosure metadata. Shopify integration allows customers to order custom microdramas. Analytics track engagement and support post-hackathon growth.
