AI Drama & Episodic Film Production
Characters worth coming back to.
AI drama production needs a plan for what continues from scene to scene: the characters, their relationships, the locations and the rules of the visual world. Kalvia Studios takes briefs for drama development, pilots, pitch trailers and episodic proof-of-concept work.
We recommend establishing the look and production approach in a representative scene before committing to a series. This makes dialogue, recurring characters, continuity and the revision process concrete. A pilot can test both the story and how it could be produced repeatedly.
The scope
What we can make together.
- Story and visual development
- A treatment and references that establish the proposed drama's tone, setting and recurring characters.
- Pilot or pitch sequence
- A focused production that demonstrates the story and visual approach to collaborators or commissioners.
- Continuity references
- Agreed character, location and style references to guide subsequent scenes.
- Episode planning
- A proposed shot and review process for the scale, runtime and release format of the project.
- 01
Define the recurring world
Identify what must remain recognisable across scenes and what changes as the story develops.
- 02
Test a demanding scene
Choose a sequence that exposes the real challenges, such as interaction, dialogue or a returning location.
- 03
Scope the next stage
Use the approved test to plan the pilot or episodes, with review points and delivery requirements in the brief.

Before the brief
Your questions, answered.
Do you take briefs for vertical AI dramas?
Yes. Vertical framing, close-up coverage, captions and episode structure need to be considered from the treatment stage rather than added at the end.
Can recurring characters stay consistent?
Consistency needs references, testing and editorial judgement. We review a representative scene before agreeing a larger scope and discuss limitations in the production approach.
Can you produce a pitch trailer first?
Yes. A trailer or proof-of-concept scene can communicate the world and tone before a full pilot or series is commissioned.
What should I send to get a quote?
Send the objective, intended runtime, reference films, available assets, delivery formats and target date. Our project brief helps collect those details. We agree the scope, review stages and price before production.
