Summary
Micro dramas drew over 6.5 billion YouTube views in the first half of the year, and this video from Youri van Hofwegen shows how to produce a full series with AI. The main challenge is that most AI tools are built for single clips, so characters look different from scene to scene. The walkthrough uses OpenArt and its Micro Drama Kit, which is sponsoring the video, to keep a series consistent.
The process starts in the script maker, where a short story idea, genre and paywall placement become a series bible, a 10-episode plan with hooks and cliffhangers, and a fully written screenplay. The creator then builds reusable assets in a deliberate order: an academy crest generated with GPT Image 2.5, uniform sheets, and character sheets showing front, back and face views, so every character looks the same in every shot.
In the episode prompts tab, those sheets are attached to each generation. Episodes are split into timed parts that continue from the final seconds of the previous one, with dialogue finishing by a set mark and voice descriptions kept consistent. Parts are rendered with Seedance 2.5 in vertical photoreal format. The video shows the first results and explains how to put the finished episodes together.
