StoryPiece Creative Process
StoryPiece™ creates a new way to enjoy stories. By pairing audio chapters with matching sections of a physical puzzle, we bring together storytelling, illustration, and puzzle design into one engaging experience.
Thoughtfully Selected Stories
We consider stories from any source and welcome suggestions. Our focus is on family-friendly and educational content with compelling characters, meaningful themes, and qualities worth sharing—such as kindness, courage, honesty, and perseverance.
When working with classic literature, we first consider presenting the author’s original words as written. When adaptations are needed, we carefully shape the story to fit the length and chapter structure of a StoryPiece puzzle production, preserving its best moments, memorable characters, and the good and true qualities that make it worth telling.
Imaginative Artwork
Each StoryPiece illustration begins with a comprehensive plan for how the entire story will appear in one cohesive image. Characters, settings, and important moments are carefully arranged, with each scene positioned to match its corresponding puzzle stage. (US Patent Pending)
We then build the artwork scene by scene, combining layers, developing details, and extensively editing and refining the composition.
Our illustrations are human-crafted compositions incorporating AI-generated elements. AI helps us plan, explore ideas, and create visual elements, while our team’s artistic direction and hands-on work bring the complete illustration together.
As creative technologies evolve, so will our methods. Our goal remains the same: immersive puzzle art that brings the people, places, and moments of a story together in one complete picture.
Engaging Audio Stories
Our audio productions combine narration, character performances, music, and sound to bring each story to life.
We currently use AI-generated voice performances, with human direction, script development, editing, and audio production.
Creativity and Technology
We embrace both traditional methods and emerging technologies, including AI, throughout our creative and business processes. These tools expand what our team can imagine, develop, and produce.
Our focus is on creating immersive puzzle art, engaging audio stories, and new shared experiences that give families and individuals a new way to enjoy great stories together.
