What you can make

  • Vertical Dramas

    Short episodes made for a phone screen, with a cast and a story that carries from one episode to the next.

  • Mini Series

    A few episodes around one idea: the same characters, the same rooms and the same look every time.

  • Reaction Content

    Your take on a clip or a headline, cut between the source and you or your AI character.

  • Whiteboard Videos

    You talk, and a hand draws your point on a whiteboard in time with your words.

  • Videos of You

    Your own AI avatar and voice, so you can put out a video without setting up a camera.

  • Images and Clips

    Pictures for posts, stories and price lists, and any of them turned into a short video.

Made in the Studio

These are the working sheets behind our own series. Each one shows a person, a room or an object from several angles, so it comes out the same in every shot. The courses teach you to make your own.

Characters

A face, a haircut, an outfit and every piece of jewelry, each on its own sheet.

  • Character sheet of Marcus Reed: front view, back view and a close-up of his face

    Marcus Reed: the character sheet

  • Face sheet of Marcus Reed from several angles

    His face, from each angle

  • Marcus's plaid shirt, denim apron, jeans and boots on a mannequin from four angles

    His outfit, on its own sheet

  • A silver chain shown alone, on a shirt collar and from the side

    His chain, and where it sits

  • A long white faux-fur coat with a lavender collar from four angles

    Simone's coat

  • A lavender satin bodysuit on a mannequin from three angles

Sets

One room, wall by wall, so the camera can turn any direction and still be in the same place.

  • A barbershop owner's back office at night: brick wall of trophies, a wooden desk under a lamp and a wall of security monitors

    Marcus's office, at night

  • The office's north wall: red brick with trophies, framed certificates and barber poles

Props

The things a scene needs: what a character sits in, signs, picks up or ignores.

  • A glass display case holding two pairs of shears, from four angles

    Shears in a display case

  • A stapled contract, an inside page and its signature page

    A contract, page by page

  • A black leather office chair from four angles

  • A stack of appointment books from several angles

Guided courses

Each course walks you through one part of a scene, a step at a time, with a worked example beside you: who is in it, where it happens, what they hold and how they sound. You finish each one with something you made, and you can use the same builder again as often as you like.

    Scenes and Stories

    Put your characters, sets, props and voices together into scenes, and your scenes into an episode. This course is being built; the ones above make everything it will use.

You load your wallet to make images and video

Membership is free and so are the courses. Making something is not: every image, sheet and video is paid from a wallet on your account, so you need money in it before the Studio will make anything.

  • Load it

    $5, $10 or $25 at a time, by card, from your plan page.

  • See the price first

    Every button shows what it costs. An image is $0.05 and a 5-second video from an image is $1.50.

  • Charged when it is made

    If something fails to make, nothing is taken from your wallet.

  • It does not expire

    Your balance stays until you use it, and there is no monthly fee for the Studio.

How it works

  1. 1

    Join for free

    Membership costs nothing and needs no card. The Studio is on your account as soon as you sign up.

  2. 2

    Take a course

    Start with a character or a whiteboard video. Each step explains what to do and why, and shows you ours.

  3. Load your wallet, then make

    Images and video are paid from your wallet, so load it before you make your first one. Each is charged at the price on its button, only once it is made. What you make is yours.
