Make a sci-fi series: a starship crew, a strange signal, the same faces

A captain, a pilot, an engineer who talks to the engines, and a signal from somewhere it should not be. The ship is a place in your World; the crew are saved Characters; every Episode picks up where the last one docked.

Free: make your Character and its Story as picture-only Slideshows. Real video comes with a plan.

The Long Haul: The snack cupboard
The Long Haul · The snack cupboard. From our house series The Long Haul: a starship crew in the Anime Art style. Made with H3 Turbo, the default Clip model in Character App.

How to make a sci-fi series with AI

Make your crew as Characters from words, or yourself from a photo (17+), in the Drama, Pop 3D or Anime Art style. Ask the AI Director for Episode 1 aboard your ship and it writes the Scenes in a World that keeps its planets and stations. Free, it is a picture-only Slideshow. With a plan, film the Scenes as Clips.

The ship is a regular

In a good space series the ship is a character too. Put the bridge, the cargo hold and the mess hall in your World once, and every Episode happens in rooms the audience knows. The crew keep their faces and uniforms; a spacesuit is something the Scene says they put on.

Pick a kind of sci-fi

Each of these works as a series with the same machinery.

  • Space opera

    Empires, smugglers and a crew that owes money at every port.

  • Dystopia

    A city with one rule too many and someone who breaks it.

  • Kaiju

    Something enormous has arrived. The story is the people who have to live next to it.

  • First contact

    The aliens are here, and the translator is on a free trial.

Neon streets and space anime

For rain-soaked cities and runners, see cyberpunk. For the anime look, pick the Anime or Retro anime Art style here, or start from anime.

Questions, answered

Still curious? The guides go deeper.

Can I make a sci-fi short film with AI?

Yes. A short is one Episode: a handful of Clips put together. A series is many Episodes in the same World.

Will the crew look the same every Episode?

Yes. Each crew member is a saved Character, and the ship and planets live in your World.

Can I use ships or aliens from existing franchises?

No. Invent your own ship, crew and species.

Can I be the captain?

Yes. Add your own clear photo (17+) and you become a Character in any Art style.

What does it cost?

Free: your Characters and the Story as a picture-only Slideshow. With a plan, a narrated Slideshow is 40 Credits, a 5-second H3 Turbo Clip is 25, and a 5-Clip Episode (0:25) is 125, plus any Scene pictures the Story draws. Creator is $39.99 a month for 1,600 Credits.
