Summary
This tutorial shows how to produce a multi-episode AI micro drama in which characters look and sound the same from the first episode to the last. Creator Youri van Hofwegen builds a three-episode series using a free micro drama kit that connects to OpenArt, which sponsors the video.
The workflow begins with planning: a script maker generates a series bible, episode outlines and full screenplays, including a paywall cliffhanger placed to mirror how short-drama apps like ReelShort lock later episodes. The sample story, a billionaire romance titled “The Veil Inheritance,” follows a cleaner who becomes a CEO’s fake fiancée with a hidden motive.
The core technique is building reusable reference sheets for every recurring character, location and prop, plus a fixed series look called “old money gold.” These assets are attached to every shot so the model copies the same references instead of guessing from text. The video demonstrates testing the look with Nano Banana 2.1, then writing prompts for six 30-second parts per episode for the Seedance video model. Tips include fixing each person’s position, preventing eye contact with the camera, specifying English dialogue to stop the model switching to Mandarin, and leaving music for the edit.
