In the current field of comic drama production, ensuring the consistency of characters and scenes across shots is a major challenge. Micro Link DaoAI, with its advanced AI technology, successfully solved this problem for a comic drama team, bringing new possibilities to comic drama production.
User Scenario: A well-known comic drama production team plans to produce a large-scale comic drama, totaling 50 episodes, each about 10 minutes long, with thousands of shots. The team's production requirement is to complete the production of the comic drama quickly while ensuring high quality, and to ensure the consistency of character images, scene styles, and lighting effects across shots, bringing a coherent and immersive viewing experience to the audience.
Pain Points: In the traditional comic drama production process, the team faced many difficulties. On the one hand, due to the lack of effective technical means, characters often 'changed faces' across shots, and the scenes were inconsistent, which greatly reduced the audience's viewing experience. Statistics show that about 20% of the shots in each episode need to be repeatedly modified to ensure consistency. On the other hand, the long production cycle and high cost were also prominent problems. Originally, it was estimated that the production cycle for each episode would be one week, and the overall cost was as high as $1000/min. In addition, the chaos in multi-person collaboration also led to low production efficiency and frequent manuscript revisions, seriously affecting the progress of the project.
Technical Principle
Micro Link DaoAI introduced the Wemio Physical AI Content Engine and the DaoAI World Model to solve these problems. The Wemio Physical AI Content Engine incorporates three-dimensional and physical constraints into video generation. This means that when generating videos, from the perspective of three-dimensional space, the physical properties and motion laws of objects are considered. For example, the lighting effect of an object is realistically simulated according to its position, orientation in three-dimensional space, and the lighting conditions of the surrounding environment, making the lighting and spatial relationships stable under different camera angles.
- The DaoAI World Model, as a unified base, has the ability to understand semantics and three-dimensional space. It can identify the semantic information of elements such as characters and scenes and accurately locate and associate them in three-dimensional space. In this way, when switching between different shots, the engine can ensure the consistency of characters and scenes based on this information.
- In terms of actions, physical constraints make the characters' actions conform to physical laws, and there will be no unreasonable actions, ensuring the连贯性 of the character image. For example, the steps of a character walking and the height of a jump are restricted by physical constraints, so as to remain consistent across shots.
- For the scene, three-dimensional and physical constraints can ensure that the relative positions and proportional relationships of elements such as buildings and props in the scene remain unchanged under different shots, making the scene look more real and coherent.
Wemio Solutions and Products
Micro Link DaoAI provides a series of targeted solutions and products. Among them, the intelligent agent pipeline from 'writing → storyboarding → outputting the film → editing' connects the whole process from the script to the final film. At the writing stage, the intelligent agent can generate a preliminary storyboard script according to the plot requirements and character settings. At the storyboarding stage, by locking elements such as characters, scenes, and costumes, it ensures that there will be no deviations in these elements during the subsequent production process.
Micro Link DaoAI's AI technology brings an efficient and stable solution to comic drama production, making the consistency across shots no longer a problem.
During the film output and editing process, the intelligent agent can automatically identify and handle inconsistent problems to ensure the quality of the final film. In addition, in terms of team collaboration, multiple people can collaborate in real-time, share the points pool, and can recover the permissions of employees who leave the company with one click, and transfer projects and retain data. This not only improves the efficiency of team collaboration but also ensures the security of project data.
Quantitative Results: By using the technology and products of Micro Link DaoAI, the comic drama production team achieved significant results. The production cost was significantly reduced, with the cost per minute of the finished film dropping to $650/min, a cost reduction of -35%. The monthly points consumption was saved by about -50%, effectively reducing the operating cost. The overall film-output speed was increased by 2×. The original one-week production cycle for each episode was shortened to three days per episode, greatly improving the production efficiency. Moreover, the consistency across shots can reach 3000+ shots, basically eliminating the problems of character 'face-changing' and inconsistent scenes across shots.
