# Build your AI short drama, one shot at a time.

Organize a story, characters, settings and storyboards in ELUAI, connecting references, images and video shots on an infinite canvas. Validate one character and one shot before expanding the sequence so inputs, results and revisions stay easy to follow.

## What can you create?

### Stories and character briefs

Define the story goal, relationships, setting, character appearance, clothing and art direction as a shared reference for later shots.

### Storyboard images

Describe framing, character placement, action and lighting for each shot. Connect character references and approve the still images first.

### From stills to video shots

Use approved frames with an available image-to-video operation. Describe one action and camera movement, then check each shot.

## Creative workflow

1. **Define the story and visual rules** — Set the premise, character appearance, wardrobe, setting and palette so every shot shares a clear visual brief.

2. **Organize references and storyboards** — Start from the home page’s short-drama mode or organize story materials on the canvas. Give each shot its own brief and connect its character and setting references.

3. **Approve frames before motion** — Approve characters, props and composition first. Then choose an available video model’s duration, format and resolution and review its estimate.

4. **Review continuity shot by shot** — Check identity, wardrobe, lighting, action and transitions. Keep useful shots and revise the parts that need work. Review editing, audio and subtitles for the final delivery.

## Examples and prompts

These prompts are examples. The images are AI-generated illustrations, not customer case studies; results depend on the model, references and settings.

### Example: a storyboard frame

Keep the referenced character’s appearance, dark coat and hairstyle. At night outside a convenience store, warm interior light falls on the face. Use a medium shot with the character on the left; no text.

### Example: add motion to the approved frame

Use the approved storyboard frame. Slowly push the camera in as the character turns gently toward the store. Keep position, coat color and lighting consistent, with one continuous action.

## Check before delivery

- Repeated prompts alone do not guarantee character identity or shot continuity; use references and review each shot.

- Storyboard images and videos incur separate usage. Check the actual tools and models for duration, voice, audio and output support.

## Review credits before generation

Review the live estimate before each generation. Usage varies with the model, settings and count.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I make storyboards without generating video?

Yes. Organize characters and settings, create and review storyboard images and submit video tasks only when motion is needed.

### Does a one-line prompt guarantee a finished drama?

No. A short drama needs story, characters, storyboards, shots and finishing checks. ELUAI organizes the workflow; delivery depends on the input, model output and human revisions.

### Should I generate stills or videos first?

Approve key storyboard images first. Fix identity, wardrobe or composition before generating video and reviewing motion and continuity.
