Vertical Short Drama: Industrial Mass Production with Cost Reduction and Speed Increase

In the booming vertical short drama market, achieving industrial mass production while reducing costs and increasing speed has become a key concern for many production teams. WeLinkirt offers an effective solution with its advanced technologies and strategies.

User Scenario: A top-notch short drama team specializes in vertical short drama production. They plan to launch a 20-episode vertical short drama in the next few months, with each episode about 5 minutes long and a total duration of 100 minutes. The team hopes to achieve industrial mass production while ensuring content quality, shortening the production cycle, and reducing costs.

Pain Points: Under the traditional production model, the team faces numerous challenges. Characters may appear inconsistent across different shots, and scene coherence is poor, which affects the viewing experience. The production cycle lasts for several months, causing a delay in the new drama's release and missing the best market promotion period. The high cost is also a huge burden, with the cost per minute of the finished film reaching thousands of yuan. Moreover, the multi-person collaboration process is chaotic, and repeated revisions further reduce production efficiency.

Technical Principle

WeLinkirt solves the above problems through the Wemio Physical AI Content Engine and the DaoAI World Model. The Wemio Physical AI Content Engine introduces 3D and physical constraints into video generation. This means that in the video production process, characters' actions follow physical laws. For example, when running or jumping, their postures and forces are consistent with real-world physical scenarios. At the same time, it ensures the stability of lighting and spatial relationships under multi-angle shooting. Just like in the real world, the lighting and spatial positions of objects remain constant regardless of the viewing angle. The DaoAI World Model, as a unified foundation, has the ability to understand semantics and 3D space. It is the root cause of cross-shot and cross-episode consistency. It can accurately understand the semantic information in the script and transform it into 3D scene and character settings, thus ensuring the consistency of characters and scenes across different shots.

• 3D and physical constraints make characters' actions more realistic, avoiding unrealistic movements and enhancing the credibility of the video.
• Stable lighting and spatial relationships make scene transitions more natural, giving the audience an immersive experience.
• Semantic and 3D space understanding ensures the consistency of characters and scenes across different shots and episodes, avoiding the problems of inconsistent characters and chaotic scenes.

Wemio Solutions and Products

WeLinkirt provides a series of targeted products and capabilities. The intelligent agent pipeline from 'writing → storyboarding → production → editing' automates the entire process from script to finished film. The intelligent agent can automatically generate storyboards based on the script, then quickly generate corresponding video materials, and finally complete the editing work. In this process, characters, scenes, and costumes can be locked across different shots, ensuring consistency throughout the drama. In terms of team collaboration, multiple people can collaborate in real-time and share an integral pool, improving resource utilization efficiency. Meanwhile, the functions of one-click revocation of permissions for departing employees, project transfer, and data retention ensure the smooth progress of the project and the security of data. In addition, the production economy is remarkable, with the cost per minute of the finished film being about $650, which reduces the cost compared with the traditional production model.

WeLinkirt's technologies and solutions have brought about a new revolution in vertical short drama production, effectively solving the pain points in traditional production.

Quantitative Results: By using WeLinkirt's solutions, the team has achieved remarkable results. In terms of cost, the cost per minute of the finished film has been reduced to about $650, a decrease of -38% compared with the previous level. The monthly integral consumption has been reduced by -52%. The overall production speed has been increased by 2×. The time for generating a single image is about 25s, and the time for generating a single video is about 3 minutes. The production cycle has been shortened from several months to several weeks, achieving industrial mass production of vertical short dramas with cost reduction and speed increase.
