# Create AI short films and dramas, from story to edit

Source: https://sumistudio.ai/en/agents/drama

Write the story, plan characters and shots, generate media and finish the edit in Sumi Studio. Start with an idea or an existing script; everything in the project stays linked as you work.

## Build a story across connected shots

- Short dramas and narrative shorts
- Animation and character-led stories
- Storyboards and scene experiments

## A workflow you can review at each step

### 1. Describe the story

Add your idea or script, intended audience and visual direction. Explain what should happen and what you want the viewer to feel.

### 2. Plan characters and shots

Develop the script and storyboard, then prepare character and scene references. Review framing and continuity before producing the shots.

### 3. Produce and revise

Create images, video and audio in the same project. Review individual results and revise the shots that need another pass.

### 4. Shape the final edit

Arrange clips on the timeline, adjust pacing and add sound or captions. Preview the sequence before exporting.

## What to bring

A short premise or script is enough to begin planning. Existing character images, location references and a clear intended format help make the direction more specific.

## Before you start

### Can I start from an existing script?

Yes. Bring your script to the film and drama composer and explain the adaptation you want. Review the proposed story and shot structure before continuing production.

### How do I keep characters consistent across shots?

Keep character references and scene assets together, reuse them across shots and review the sequence. Reference images and camera planning help guide the result; each generated shot still needs review.

### Can I change the film after generation?

You can revise individual shots and keep editing the sequence. The canvas holds the assets and connections, while the timeline is where you assemble the film.
