Skill by Mage · Short Drama

AI short dramas with a cast that acts and talks

Pitch a premise. The skill writes the script and shot list, casts each character and place on Mango 4, drafts a storyboard on Mango 3 Turbo, and films the scene on Cherry 2 Pro as one vertical clip of several shots, each character speaking their lines in their own voice.

Claude

Make a 15-second vertical short drama: two roommates fight over the last slice of pizza, played dead serious like a soap opera, with a twist at the end.

“The Last Slice”: Maya and Theo grab the last slice at the same moment. Maya: “Let go.” Theo: “I paid for this pizza.” Maya, sweetly: “With my card.” She takes a slow bite; he puts his head down on the counter. Cast and kitchen stills on Mango 3 (405 Gems), a five-frame storyboard on Mango 3 Turbo (135 Gems), and one 15-second, five-shot scene on Cherry 2 Pro at 720p, 9:16 (5,198 Gems): 5,738 Gems. Film it?

Yes, film it.

How it works

How to use the Short Drama skill

Pitch the story
A premise, your own script, or an idea for a series. The skill writes the script, the shot list, and every line you left open, and keeps your own words exactly.
Approve the plan
You see the logline, the lines, and the price of every step together, and nothing is made until you say yes.
Cast, storyboard, film
Mango 4 makes and saves each character and place, Mango 3 Turbo drafts a frame per shot, and Cherry 2 Pro films each scene as one clip of several shots, with dialogue.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do the characters really speak?

Yes. Cherry 2 Pro films each scene with sound, and every character says their lines in their own voice, in sync. In the demo above, all three lines came out word for word.

How long can an AI short drama be?

Each scene is one clip of up to 30 seconds holding several shots. Episodes and series are filmed scene by scene with the same saved cast, then joined in order with ffmpeg when your agent can run commands, or delivered with an edit list for CapCut, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve.

Will the cast look the same in every episode?

Each character and place is saved once and mentioned by @handle in every scene, so faces, costumes, and rooms carry across episodes. For a series, the skill also saves a short voice clip per character so voices hold too.

Can I use my own script and characters?

Yes. Your story and lines are the contract, and your saved characters are reused by @handle. Characters are original people: the skill never casts a real person without their consent, or a public figure.

How much does it cost?

The skill is free and open source. Each generation it starts is paid in Gems from your Mage account at the model’s listed price, and your assistant quotes the total before it creates anything.
