Make an AI TV Show in 15 Easy Steps

We made a 25-minute FULLY AI TV show in 3 months, and I’m sharing all our secrets for free.

shot type: [Medium Shot], low angle (LA), 2.39:1 Cinemascope aspect ratio;
image treatment/film stock: cinematic tension with stark golden contrast and saturated sky; Kodak Vision3 250D with light film grain;
lens: 50mm anamorphic lens for strong presence;
aperture: T1.8 for isolated figure with background motion;

character: SHIP CAPTAIN — A weathered Middle Eastern male with a broad, muscular build, thick dark beard streaked with grey, short curly dark hair damp with seawater. Wearing a faded blue knee-length linen tunic cinched with a wide leather belt with bronze fittings. Bronze signet ring on his hand.

pose/motion: standing with knees bent, torso angled forward, mouth open in mid-shout; left hand pointing outward while right grips a taut rope line; tunic flaring against wind;

ENVIRONMENT (depth layers):
foreground (blurred): rigging line whipping across corner of frame;
midground (sharp focus): Captain’s arm, tunic folds, and shouting expression;
background (soft bokeh): mast shadow curving across sail, pink-red clouds darkening to grey;

ENVIRONMENT (atmosphere):
setting: [Ship Deck at Sunset];
lighting: golden edge light from low sun raking across shoulder and catching on damp curls;
mood: Controlled ferocity — the voice of command cutting through the chaos.
