How to make an AI animated series

Start from a one-line premise, let an AI write a series bible (cast, world rules, season outline), lock one visual style and a portrait per character, then script and render each episode in turn so every episode builds on the last.

Step by step

1. Write your premise in a sentence or two: who it is about, what they want, what is in the way.
2. Pick a language, a genre (or let the agent decide) and the shape: widescreen, vertical or square.
3. Choose a visual style — Cinematic, 3D Animation, Cartoon or Anime. In AISP it is locked once the series exists, so it cannot drift.
4. Let the agent write the series bible: title, cast with fixed appearances, world rules and the season outline.
5. Generate a reference portrait for each character, so faces hold from scene to scene.
6. Script episode 1, read the script, and only then confirm the credit cost and render it.
7. Watch it, then generate the next episode. Continuity notes carry what happened forward.

Why a series is harder than a single clip

Most AI video tools make one clip from one prompt. A series needs the same people, the same world and a story that remembers itself across many scenes and several episodes. If every scene is prompted from scratch, the hero’s hair, clothes and even age change between shots, and episode 3 forgets what happened in episode 1.

The fix is to decide the things that must not change before anything is drawn, and to feed them into every shot. That is what a series bible, locked character descriptions, reference portraits and a fixed style are for.

How AISP does each step

In AISP you describe the story, choose a language, genre, look, shape, scene length, scenes per episode (3 to 60) and episodes per season (3 to 12). The agent then writes the series bible. Writing the bible is free. Cover art and character portraits are images, and each one is charged at the brush you chose (from 1 credit with the Fast brush to 8 with Photoreal, at the time of writing).

Each episode is scripted into scenes before anything renders, so the credit cost is a real number. You can open and read the script, ask for a rewrite, or write the episode yourself. Scenes are saved as they finish, and any scene that fails is refunded and can be retried on its own.

Choosing how it looks and moves

AISP has three looks. Storyboard is one illustrated frame per scene with the script on screen, the cheapest way to see the story. Motion uses illustrated scenes with a voiceover and camera movement. Video renders real generated footage for each scene, in Draft, Cinema or Cinema Pro, and those video tiers generate their own dialogue and sound with the picture.

A sensible way to work is to try the first episode in Storyboard or Motion, fix the story, and only move to video once you like where it is going.

Questions

Do I need to know how to animate?

No. You write the idea and make choices; the agent writes the scripts and the models draw and animate the scenes. You can still write an episode yourself if you want control over every beat.

Is it free to try?

Writing the series bible is free. Portraits, cover art and episodes use credits, which are one-time purchases rather than a subscription. New accounts get 100 free credits, enough to render a first Storyboard episode.
