How do you make a short drama (微短剧) with AI?
To make a short drama with AI, break it into four stages: write the script and shot list, lock your cast as reusable character references, generate each scene as image-to-video shots that reuse those characters, and add dialogue with talking-avatar and audio steps before assembling the cut. Floniks runs all four stages on one canvas — image, video, digital humans, and a workflow editor — so you can keep characters consistent across episodes instead of stitching together disconnected clips.
Start from a script and a shot list, not a single prompt
A short drama is a sequence of deliberate shots, so the work starts on paper. Write the script, then break it into a shot list: who is in frame, the setting, the camera move, and the line of dialogue for each beat. This shot list becomes the backbone of your production — every shot maps to one generation, and planning it up front stops you from improvising expensive renders that do not cut together.
Cast your characters as reusable references
Before generating scenes, lock each recurring character to a fixed reference so they look the same in every episode. In Floniks you define the character once and reuse it across shots, which is what separates a coherent series from a pile of clips with a shifting cast. Settle wardrobe and key props at this stage too, so they do not regenerate differently from one scene to the next.
Generate scenes, then give them voice
With characters locked, generate each shot: text-to-image or image-to-image for the frame, then image-to-video to bring it to motion. For dialogue-heavy beats, use the talking-avatar step — a photo plus an audio track produces a lip-synced digital human — and chain in text-to-audio or audio-merge steps for lines and background music. Because these run as a workflow, you can re-run a single scene without rebuilding the whole episode.
Assemble, then template the whole pipeline
Once shots are approved, assemble them into the final cut. The real time-saver for a series is capturing the entire pipeline as a reusable workflow: character references, scene settings, motion, and audio become a template you re-run per episode by swapping the script. That turns "make one video" into "produce a series," which is exactly the short-drama and creator use case Floniks is built for.
