How to make an AI Greek mythology drama
Brief for AI Create: A retelling of a Greek myth: the weaver who challenged a goddess to a contest, told from the goddess's side; six episodes, one loom, one transformation.
The ancient world in Step 1
| Place | Scene Style | Costume Style |
|---|---|---|
| Temples and cities | Greco-Roman | Greco-Roman Attire |
| Islands and coasts | Mediterranean Coast | Greco-Roman Attire |
| Mount Olympus | Celestial Colossus used sparingly | Divine Regalia |
| The underworld | Dungeon, Gothic Dark | Greco-Roman Attire in dark colours |
Looks: Classical Oil Painting for a painted epic, Digital HD for live action, Realistic 3D for film CG.
Gods have two forms
Myths turn on gods in disguise. Give each god a mortal state (an old woman, a shepherd) and a divine state (taller, lit from within, robes that move without wind). Pick the state in each segment; the reveal is switching it. States.
Transformations (a woman into a spider, a hunter into a stag) are a new character or a final state, with the moment itself shown through light and a cut.
A contest, shot by shot
| Beat | Shot to adapt |
|---|---|
| The challenge | [Shot 1] 4s: Wide shot, a marble courtyard, two looms facing each other. Villagers watch from the colonnade. |
| The weaver | [Shot 2] 3s: Close-up on @Arachne's hands flying across the threads. |
| The goddess | [Shot 3] 3s: Medium shot. @Athena in her mortal state, grey cloak, watching. |
| The reveal | [Shot 4] 4s: @Athena in her divine state, light spilling across the courtyard. @Athena: You asked for me. I came. |

- Love and jealousy: gods who fall for mortals, and what it costs.
- The underworld journey: one rule, broken at the end.
