The cast, locked with character sheets

Every person gets a character sheet before the first clip: the same face from the front, the side and the back. Every shot they are in starts from it, which is why Maya and Daniel look the same in all seven shots.

The character sheet of Maya: the same young woman in an ivory gown from the front, the side and the back, with a face close-up
Maya: front, side, back and a face close-up.
The character sheet of Daniel: the same man in a grey three-piece suit from the front, the side and the back, with a face close-up
Daniel: front, side, back and a face close-up.

Series ideas as concept posters

A series needs a poster before it has an episode. These four are concept posters made with an image model (Meta Muse Image is one of the image models in Ziztu, at 3 credits a picture), not frames of a finished episode. They show the look a genre can aim for.

The same faceOne person, one face, every shotMaya in shots 1, 3 and 5 starts from the same sheet
Short linesUnder twelve words, no dead airThe longest line is six words
One action a shotEach shot does one thingA walk, a wait, a whisper, a freeze, a microphone, a door, a figure
The last shotStops on one questionA woman in red in the doorway, face hidden

Use the same five checks on your own episode before you publish it. If it fails two, retake the shots, not the whole episode.

Frequently asked questions

What do AI micro dramas look like?

Like short, vertical live-action scenes: a few people in one or two places, medium shots, short lines and a last shot that stops on one question. The Wrong Wedding on this page runs 32 seconds in seven shots, with the same bride, groom and chapel in every shot.

Are these examples real?

Yes. The Wrong Wedding and the three 5 second scenes are real outputs made in Ziztu and not filmed. The four posters are concept pictures made with an image model, and the page says so.

How was The Wrong Wedding made?

From one sentence. The Director planned three characters, one place and seven shots, each person got a character sheet, each shot was generated as a vertical clip and the clips were cut with voices and sound. The sentence is in the first section of the how-to guide.

How much did it cost to make?

The seven clips cost 320 credits at 768P at list price, about $3.84 on Starter. Pictures, voices, music and retakes are extra, and Ziztu shows the price of every generation before you spend credits.

Can I make something like this myself?

Yes. Start from the idea of The Wrong Wedding or one of the 60 ideas, and change it. The 40 free credits cover script, cast and storyboard; video starts at $12.

Where can I watch AI micro dramas?
