How to make an AI racing drama
Brief for AI Create: A street racing drama: a delivery driver who knows every back road in the port city is pulled into the night races to win back her late father's car; twelve short episodes, one rival, one final race at dawn.
Cars you can recognise
| Car | Written as a prop |
|---|---|
| Hers | Battered 1990s coupe, faded orange, a white 27 on the door |
| The rival's | Long black grand tourer, matte paint, red brake lights |
| The father's | The same coupe, freshly painted, in a flashback state |
No real makes or badges: well-known brands set off the IP check. A car described this exactly comes out the same in every shot. Describing props · Brands and the IP check.
The race in short shots
| Beat | Shot to adapt |
|---|---|
| The start | [Shot 1] 3s: Low angle, two cars side by side at a red light, engines revving. |
| Alongside | [Shot 2] 2s: Tracking shot, the camera level with the orange coupe at speed. |
| The mirror | [Shot 3] 2s: Close-up, the rear-view mirror: the black car's lights growing. |
| The gap | [Shot 4] 2s: High wide shot, both cars into a narrow tunnel. |
| The face | [Shot 5] 3s: Close-up on @Jo through the windscreen, jaw set. |
Two to three seconds each, the framing changing on every cut, is what makes speed. Camera moves.
The cockpit is a place
Make the inside of the car its own location so the seats, the dashboard and the windows stay put; say who is driving and who is beside them. Scenes inside a car.
Night roads and racetracks
Neon Nights for street racing, Street Life for the garage and the port, Mediterranean Coast for a coastal road, Frontier Vastness for desert rally. Racing suits are Sportswear; the crew is Streetwear.

The crash
Show the spin, the barrier and the stillness; cut to the helmet in the road and the rival's brake lights stopping. Injuries are graphic violence and get blocked; the silence is more frightening anyway. Content rules.

FAQ
How do I make a racing drama with AI?
Invent the cars as props, tell races in two- or three-second shots, make the cockpit a location and keep the story off the track.
Can I use real car brands?
No. Real makes and logos trigger the brand check; describe your own car exactly.
How do I make the car look the same every time?
Describe it as a prop with year, shape, colour and number; it gets a reference image.
How do I show speed?
Short tracking and low shots, the mirror, the gap, the face; change the framing on every cut.
Can there be a crash?
Show the spin and the aftermath; injuries are blocked.
Which look suits it?
Digital HD for modern street racing, Shot on Film for a seventies track story.
Can it be motorbikes or horse racing?
Yes; the same rules apply to bikes and horses.
