How to make an AI dinosaur adventure
Brief for AI Create: A dinosaur adventure: a park ranger's twelve-year-old son and a young triceratops get lost together in the valley the night the fences fail; eight episodes, one storm, one long walk home.
Live action or cartoon
| Audience | Visual Style | Dinosaurs as |
|---|---|---|
| Teens and adults | Digital HD, Shot on Film | Realistic animals on four or two legs |
| Families | Family 3D Animation | Expressive, rounded, can show feelings |
| Young children | 3D Toy Cartoon, Watercolor Storybook | Friendly, simple shapes, may talk |
Dinosaurs as characters
A dinosaur that appears more than once needs a sheet: species, colour pattern, size, one mark (a torn frill, a chipped horn). Herds in the distance are background. Realistic dinosaurs behave as animals; only cartoon ones should talk or use hands. Non-human characters.
Scale is a comparison: its head is level with the treetops, taller than the jeep. Say what is there.
A first encounter
| Beat | Shot to adapt |
|---|---|
| The ferns | [Shot 1] 3s: Wide shot, rainforest at dawn, mist. @Theo pushes through giant ferns. Ambient: birds, dripping water. |
| The sound | [Shot 2] 2s: Close-up on @Theo freezing. A low snort from somewhere close. |
| The eye | [Shot 3] 3s: Close-up. A large amber eye blinks between the leaves. |
| The friend | [Shot 4] 4s: Medium shot. @Bramble, a young triceratops with a chipped left horn, steps out and sniffs @Theo's backpack. |
Story shapes
- Lost together: a child and a young dinosaur find the way home.

FAQ
How do I make a dinosaur adventure with AI?
Make each important dinosaur a character with its own sheet, describe scale against familiar things, and choose a realistic or cartoon look for your audience.
Will the same dinosaur look the same in every shot?
Yes, if it has a character sheet; give it one clear mark.
Can dinosaurs talk?
Cartoon dinosaurs can; realistic ones should behave as animals.
Can I show dinosaurs attacking?
Show the chase and the escape; graphic injury is blocked.
Which setting works?
Tropical Rainforest, African Savanna or Frozen Wilderness for an ice age.
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes, with a cartoon look and gentle writing.
Can I copy a famous dinosaur film?
No. Famous franchises trigger the IP check; dinosaurs themselves are fine.
Vertical or landscape?
Landscape suits scale; vertical works for short episodes.
