Character App is an AI character app for creating, not chatting. You make your own characters from a photo or a few words, then put them in your own clips, a vertical drama or a whole new series. You direct, and there is no chatbot to talk to.
This is the production handoff between a finished script and connected 9:16 Scenes. Copy the blank fields, study the five-Scene example, and review framing and continuity before filming selected takes.
A microdrama series Bible is the compact source of truth behind every episode. This template settles the World, recurring Cast, relationships, locations, props, open loops, arc, and continuity rules.
A useful vertical-drama budget begins with the work: how many Scenes you will draw, how many seconds you will film, how many takes you expect to discard, and which current model you choose. This guide includes an adjustable planning calculator and makes every assumption visible.
A recurring Cast is the spine of a vertical drama. This guide shows the continuity stack used in Character App—approved references, World and Bible context, prior-Scene grounding, and a human review step—without pretending generative variation disappears.
A 9:16 frame is taller than it is wide, but vertical-drama composition is more than rotating the camera. Use this interactive center-safe guide to stage faces, reactions, evidence, and later captions for a phone-first episode.
A vertical drama is a story told in short vertical (9:16) episodes that you watch on your phone, usually one to two minutes each. Every episode ends on a hook, so you tap the next one. Vertical drama videos are mostly watched in apps like ReelShort and DramaBox; Character App is where you make your own.
To make a vertical drama with AI, write a one-line hook, build your Cast from a photo or a description, direct each 9:16 Scene, draw and film it, and export the episode. Character App does the drawing and filming; you make the story decisions. This guide walks through the steps in order.
A vertical drama lives or dies in its first three seconds — and that starts on the page. This vertical drama script template gives you the episode skeleton, a worked 60-second pilot scene, and the formatting an AI Director can actually shoot, so your script becomes a rendered episode.
There is no open upload for ReelShort or DramaBox. You reach them through a contest, a writer program (DramaBox ran a screenwriting competition and a writer incubator with Stage 32) or a licensing deal, and DramaBox takes distribution pitches from rights holders. TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Reels you can post to today. This guide gives each route's specs and how to pitch with a finished pilot. Updated October 2026.
Your AI character looks perfect in scene one, then drifts into a different face by scene three. Character drift is predictable once you understand the three mechanisms behind it. Here is the diagnosis — cold starts, style wander, continuity loss — plus the three locks that hold a character together across a whole series.
A one-off AI clip is easy. An AI series — the same characters, episode after episode — is where most creators hit a wall. This guide walks through how to make an AI series that actually holds together: a shared world, a recurring cast, a repeatable episode workflow, and what each episode costs.
Character App ran both Seedance 2 and Kling as Clip models until it retired them on 28 October 2026, so this comparison is not a spec-sheet scrape. Here is how each model handles the thing that actually breaks AI stories — keeping a character recognizable across every scene — plus honest notes on cost, motion quality, and when to pick which.
Most Seedance 2 prompt guides hand you generic formulas that fall apart the moment you need the same face twice. This is the character slice: how to prompt Seedance 2 for consistent characters, why the reference does most of the work, and copyable patterns for the drama scenes you actually shoot.
Sora cameos let people drop a verified likeness, a pet or an object into AI video. OpenAI shut the Sora app down on 26 April 2026, and the API was scheduled to follow on 24 September 2026. If you used cameos to keep a character the same from clip to clip, here is what that feature did and where to keep a recurring character now.
The biggest challenge in AI video and image generation is character consistency. This guide shows you exactly how to create AI characters that look the same in every scene, using reference locking, style presets, and story workflows.
The best AI character creator depends on the job: the widest model menu, the most videos per dollar, a planned microdrama season, or one Character carried across a whole series. Here is each tool, what it is best at, and its price checked on its own site on 1 November 2026.
AI video generation has evolved rapidly. This comprehensive guide covers every major model available in 2026, how to choose between them, and how to get the best results from each.
