In the field of AI film and video production, cross-shot character and scene consistency is a major challenge. WeLinkirt brings a breakthrough solution to short play and comic drama production with advanced technology.
A high-quality short play team plans to produce a 20-episode vertical short play, with each episode about 10 minutes long and a total of about 5000 shots. Their production requirement is to ensure a high-level consistency of character images and scenes across shots while presenting an exciting plot, and to complete the production in a relatively short time and control costs.
In the traditional production process, the team faced many pain points. The problem of character 'face-changing' across shots was quite serious, with about 30% of the shots having inconsistent character images, which affected the viewing experience. The scene incoherence was also prominent, with about 25% of the scenes lacking continuity between different shots. The production cycle was long. The project originally planned to be completed in 3 months was expected to be postponed by 1 month. In terms of cost, the cost per minute of the finished film was as high as about ¥1000. Moreover, the multi-person collaboration was in a mess, and the manuscript revision was repeated, resulting in low efficiency.
Technical Principle
WeLinkirt's Wemio Physical AI Content Engine and DaoAI World Model are the keys to solving these problems. The Wemio Physical AI Content Engine introduces three-dimensional and physical constraints into video generation. In the real world, the lighting, spatial relationships, and movements of objects follow physical laws. When generating videos, by introducing these physical constraints, the lighting and spatial relationships under multi-angle camera movements can be kept stable. For example, when light shines from one direction, the illuminated and shaded areas of characters and scenes in different shots should conform to physical laws. The DaoAI World Model, as a unified base, has the ability to understand semantics and three-dimensional spaces. It can define the semantics and spaces of scenes and characters in the whole video in a unified way, so that the characteristics of characters and scenes can be accurately identified and kept consistent in different shots. It's like establishing an accurate 'identity file' for each character and scene, and the consistency can be ensured based on this 'file' in any shot.
- Three - dimensional and physical constraints ensure stable lighting and spatial relationships in line with physical laws.
- Semantic and three-dimensional space understanding makes the characteristics of characters and scenes accurate and consistent in different shots.
- Under multi-angle camera movements, actions also follow physical laws, avoiding unreasonable actions.
- The unified world model provides a basic guarantee for cross-shot consistency.
Wemio Solutions and Products
WeLinkirt provides a series of targeted products and capabilities. The Wemio Physical AI Content Engine ensures the consistency of characters, scenes, and lighting across shots in comic dramas/films, with actions following physical laws and thousands of shots remaining coherent. The DaoAI World Model, as a unified base, is the root of cross-shot/cross-episode consistency. The intelligent agent pipeline from screenwriting to storyboarding, film production, and editing connects the whole process from the script to the finished film. In the screenwriting stage, the intelligent agent can preliminarily plan characters, scenes, and costumes according to the plot requirements; in the storyboarding stage, it locks the characteristics of these elements; during film production, it strictly generates content according to the plan; and in the editing process, it can also ensure the consistency between shots. In terms of team collaboration, it supports real-time multi-person collaboration, shared credit pools, one-click recovery of permissions for departing employees, and project transfer and data retention.
WeLinkirt's technology brings a new solution to short play production, effectively solving the cross-shot consistency problem.
By using WeLinkirt's technology and products, the team achieved remarkable results. The cost per minute of the finished film was reduced to about ¥700, with a cost reduction of -30%. The monthly credit consumption was reduced by -50%. The overall film production speed increased by 2×. The original production cycle of 4 months was shortened to 2 months, greatly improving the production efficiency and ensuring a high-level consistency of characters and scenes across shots.
