Make AI Films With Your Own Characters

AI Filmmaking Guides

• Cast your characters

  Build a cast of original characters with locked identities that persist across every scene of your film.

• Direct the scenes

  Plan every shot in the Story editor — prompts, camera angles, character assignments, and model selection.

• Render in cinematic quality

  Choose from the currently available models based on the resolution, audio, duration, and exact Credit quote shown in the app.

The director's workflow for AI filmmaking

Three phases: cast the characters, direct the scenes, render in cinematic quality.

1. Cast your characters

   Create each character with a reference image, wardrobe, and style direction. Lock their identity so they look the same in every scene of the film.

2. Direct the scenes

   Open the Story editor and plan every shot. Write action prompts, set camera angles, assign characters, and arrange the scene order to build your narrative.

3. Render in cinematic quality

   Choose the model that fits each Scene using the current resolution, audio, duration, and exact Credit quote shown in the app.

Films need a cast. AI filmmaking should too.

Traditional filmmaking starts with casting. AI filmmaking should work the same way. Character App puts characters first — design your cast, lock their identities, then direct them through scenes just like a real production.

Without persistent characters, AI filmmaking produces beautiful but disconnected clips. With Character App, you get a cast that audiences recognize, a narrative they can follow, and cinematic quality they expect.

Plan every shot before you spend a single credit.

The Story editor is your director's chair. Lay out every scene, assign characters, write prompts, and set camera direction. Preview the film's flow before rendering.

Use a lower-cost current model to draft the film, then choose a higher-cost model only for selected hero Scenes. This keeps the quote tied to the Scenes that need those capabilities.

• Per-scene model selection — mix fast drafts with premium renders
• Camera direction and action notes for each shot
• Multi-character scenes with consistent identities
• Drag-and-drop scene ordering for narrative flow

Different scenes need different models.

Current models differ in resolution, audio, duration, motion, and price. Compare those capabilities in the picker instead of assuming one model is always best or cheapest.

Character App lets you assign a different model to each scene in the story. Your characters stay consistent across all of them, so you get the best quality for each shot without sacrificing identity.

FAQ

Can I make a multi-scene short film with consistent characters?

Yes. Create your cast with locked Cast members, plan the narrative in the Story editor, and render each scene with characters that look the same throughout the entire film.

Which model should I use for filmmaking?

Use a lower-cost current model for drafts and choose higher-cost models only where their current capabilities help. The Story editor supports per-Scene model selection.

How do I keep production costs manageable?

Draft the film with a lower-cost current model, then choose a higher-cost model only for selected Scenes. Plans start at $19.99/mo with 800 Credits, and each paid action shows an exact quote before approval.
