In the field of AI film and television production, the consistency of characters and scenes across shots is a major challenge. WeLinkirt brings new breakthroughs to comic drama production with its advanced technology and solutions.
User Scenario: A high-quality comic drama team plans to produce a 20-episode comic drama, with each episode about 5 minutes long and a total of over 3000 shots. The production requirement is to ensure the stability of character images and the coherence of scenes across shots, while improving production efficiency, reducing costs, and enabling efficient multi-person collaboration.
Pain Points: In traditional comic drama production, the team faced many quantitative difficulties. Characters often 'changed faces' across shots, and the scene coherence was poor, resulting in a poor viewing experience for the audience. The production cycle was as long as several months, and the cost remained high, with the cost per minute of finished film being about $1000. During multi-person collaboration, permission management was chaotic, and manuscript revisions were repeated, seriously affecting the production progress.
Technical Principle
WeLinkirt solves these problems through the Wemio Physical AI Content Engine and the DaoAI World Model. The Wemio Physical AI Content Engine introduces three-dimensional and physical constraints into the video generation process. In traditional video generation, due to the lack of physical constraints, the lighting and spatial relationships are prone to instability under multi-angle camera movements, resulting in inconsistent performances of characters and scenes in different shots. After introducing three-dimensional and physical constraints, the system can simulate a real physical environment, making the lighting and spatial relationships stable under multi-angle camera movements. For example, in a scene where sunlight shines from a specific angle, the shadows and lighting effects of objects can be presented according to physical laws no matter how the camera moves.
- Action follows physics: Characters' actions follow physical laws, and there will be no unreasonable actions, making the character images more realistic and credible.
- Consistent characters and scenes across shots: The DaoAI World Model provides a unified base with semantic and three-dimensional spatial understanding capabilities. It can accurately model characters and scenes to ensure that the appearance and posture of characters and the layout and style of scenes remain consistent in different shots. For example, a character's hairstyle and clothing will not change abruptly in each shot, and elements such as buildings and props in the scene can also maintain coherence.
- Stable lighting and spatial relationships: Due to the introduction of physical constraints, the lighting and spatial relationships remain stable in different shots, avoiding the problem of scene incoherence caused by excessive lighting changes or chaotic spatial relationships.
WeLinkirt Solution and Product Introduction
WeLinkirt provides a series of products and capabilities to solve the above problems. First is the 'Screenwriting → Storyboarding → Filming → Editing' intelligent agent pipeline, which connects the entire process from the script to the finished film with intelligent agents. At the screenwriting stage, intelligent agents can generate reasonable storyboard scripts according to the plot requirements; at the storyboarding stage, they can accurately lock characters, scenes, and clothing to ensure consistency in the subsequent filming and editing processes. For example, through the association function of intelligent agents, a character's clothing in different shots will be automatically locked and will not be changed randomly.
WeLinkirt's team collaboration function facilitates real-time multi-person collaboration. Team members can share the credit pool to improve resource utilization efficiency. At the same time, the permission of employees who leave the company can be recovered with one click to ensure the security of project data. The project transfer and data retention function also enables the team to make a smooth transition when there are personnel changes.
Quantitative Results: By using WeLinkirt's solution, the comic drama team achieved remarkable results. The cost per minute of finished film was reduced to about $700, a cost reduction of -30%. The monthly credit consumption was reduced by -55%, the overall filming speed was increased by 2×, and the time for generating a single video was about 3 minutes. The consistency of characters and scenes across shots was greatly improved, and thousands of shots could be connected without breakdown. The production cycle was shortened from several months to several weeks.
