SC 02 · THE PROBLEM

Today’s AI video tools are slot machines.

First frame, last frame, a reference, a prompt, a camera move. Generate. Wrong face. Generate again. Every tool works the same way, one clip at a time, and none of them work like a production.

  1. No pipeline. Every shot starts from zero. Nothing carries from the script to the board to the cut.
  2. No memory. Characters, sets and light drift between takes, so continuity becomes your job.
  3. Every try at full price. You pay premium video rates to find out a shot doesn’t work.
900 shots a season × 6 tries × $2.24$12,096spent mostly on takes nobody will ever see.

SC 03 · THE PIPELINE

The first authoring pipeline for microdrama.

01

Script

Paste a script. It comes back as scenes, slated shots and a breakdown of cast, sets and props, the way a first AD would do it.

Cents per episode

EXT. FURNACE STEPS · CONTINUOUS

Lyra walks out of the flames unharmed, holding a black dragon egg.

Kael grips her wrist. Matching golden marks ignite on their skin.

KAELThat is impossible.

A crack crosses the egg. A tiny golden eye opens.

Storyboard on Rama-1

Our own storyboard model sketches every shot for two-tenths of a cent. Retake, vary, circle. This is where you explore, because here it’s nearly free.

Staging

Wire character, set, film still, lens and light into each shot. Copy a setup across the scene. A setup that hasn’t changed re-renders for nothing.

Cast a voice for each character, direct every read, time the cut on temp reads, then lock the finals that drive lip-sync.

Shoot

AI shots go to the render farm on the cheapest model that can carry them. Live shots go to set with a shoot pack, and the footage drops straight back in.

SC 05 · THE BUDGET

What a season really costs.

900 AI shots of 8s. Live shots cost what your shoot costs and aren’t counted on either side.

Every try rendered on a premium video model

Estimate. Premium video at $0.28 a second, Cinerama’s routing at illustrative list prices. Your mix of models, retakes and shot lengths will change the numbers; the shape won’t.

SC 06 · EVERY MARKET

One cut. Every language.

Microdrama is global from episode one. Lock the picture once, then author subtitles for each market in one editor, timed to the cut, with reading-speed and line-length checks built for vertical frames.

  • Subtitles per language, exported as .srt and .vtt or burned in
  • Right-to-left scripts handled

SC 07 · WHO IT’S FOR

01Production houses

Add AI to your slate without retraining your crew.

Your director still gets a shot list, a call sheet and a shoot pack. AI fills the shots you can’t afford to build.

02Microdrama studios

Ship more episodes a month on a smaller render bill.

Run thirty-episode seasons on one pipeline, with costs you can see per shot, per episode and per series.

03Founders and creators

Make a pilot that looks funded.

Go from logline to a finished, subtitled first episode before you raise, and show investors the whole season plan.
