A cast entry that works
MARA OKAFOR, 34, night-shift nurse. Wants to leave the city and tells no one. Tall, close-cropped hair, a green cardigan she wears every episode, a chipped front tooth. Voice: low, dry, quick to deflect. Keep each cast entry to one line of want, one line of look, one line of voice.
Keeping the bible and the series in sync
- Pick characters from your library for each new episode so nothing is redrawn. Reuse a cast across projects.
- Set a costume change as a state, not a new description. Costume changes and states.
- Keep recurring places the same. The same room in every episode.

Make it in SceneMixer, start to finish
- Script: paste your own on Upload Script, or write the brief above in AI Create and let it draft the episodes.
- Step 1: Type TV Series; Scene Style Hospital Ward, Urban Opulence; Costume Style Professional Uniforms, Smart Casual; Visual Style Digital HD, Shot on Film; Target Region; dialogue language; 16:9 Landscape. Then read the script.
- Step 2: Draw the cast entries of your bible first; they are what every episode reuses. The first 15 setup images on an account are free.
- Storyboard: generate episode 1 first (free on your first drama) and read it before you render anything. One place per segment.
- Video: render on the default tier at 10 credits a second, fix single shots instead of whole episodes, then put the episode together and post.
| Cast entry | Length |
|---|---|
| Want | One line |
| Look | One line: face, hair, build, one detail |
| Voice | One line |
