Start with the story.
Choose the right scope.

01

Develop the idea

BUILT AROUND YOUR STARTING POINT

Bring what you have.

An early idea

Share the central situation, the intended audience and what makes the story interesting to you. We can scope development before a production commitment.

A written script

We review the writing for the intended screen format, production needs and missing visual references, then agree the next stage.

An existing story world

Bring your character notes, visual guide or material you control. Adaptation scope and permissions are clarified before development.

WHAT GOES INTO THE HANDOVER

A clear deliverable.
For every agreed stage.

Your proposal defines what is included. A series package can cover:

Creative development

  • Series overview and episode outlines
  • Approved scripts and character references
  • Location, wardrobe and visual direction notes

Finished episodes

  • Vertical 9:16 video masters, where required
  • Edited dialogue, sound and colour
  • Captioned and clean versions as agreed

Launch assets

  • Series trailer and selected scene cutdowns
  • Cover frames and promotional stills
  • Additional language versions by arrangement

Episode count, runtime, resolution, languages, source files and usage terms are confirmed in the project scope. Platform acceptance and distribution are separate from production.

QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE SERIES

Details that keep
a story together.

Recognisable characters

Review appearance, wardrobe and location references across scenes. Identify inconsistent shots and plan corrections within the agreed revision process.

Readable on mobile

Consider framing, text placement and dialogue clarity for small screens. Check deliverables against the requirements of the intended channel.

Decisions before scale

Use concept and pilot reviews to resolve visual questions early. Agree which materials are approved before expanding production.

Planning your series.

Who is this service for?

Brands exploring episodic entertainment, creators developing a series, publishers adapting material they control, and platforms commissioning original content. The project is scoped around the story and available resources.

How many episodes can we commission?

The episode count and runtime are agreed after reviewing your scripts, visual complexity, budget and schedule. You can enquire about a pilot, a short arc or a broader series; no fixed season size is required.

Can you help with dubbing and subtitles?

Include your target languages in the brief. We will discuss translation, voice production, subtitle formats and language review as separately scoped requirements.

What determines the budget?

Writing and development, episode count, runtime, character and location complexity, production method, sound, language versions and review rounds all affect the estimate. Ask for a breakdown of development, production and optional deliverables.

How are rights and source files handled?

Share any existing story, character, music or likeness permissions with the brief. Ownership, licences, usage permissions and delivery of working files must be set out in the project agreement before production begins.

What is a micro-drama?

A short episodic drama, often designed for vertical mobile viewing. Each episode advances a larger story through character, conflict and an invitation to continue watching.

Can we start with a pilot?

Yes. A pilot can help establish the visual language, episode structure and production approach before scoping a wider series.

What should a series brief include?

Share your genre, audience, platform, preferred language, episode count and length, any existing scripts or rights, budget range and timing. We can also discuss development from an initial premise.

Do you provide distribution or guarantee views?

Production does not imply a platform deal or a guaranteed audience. Distribution, localisation and promotional assets are discussed as part of the agreed scope.

Can this be part of a wider project?

Yes. AI Micro-Drama & Vertical Series can be combined with other studio disciplines. Choose the relevant offerings in our service catalogue and include them in one brief.

How are fees and timelines decided?

They depend on scope, complexity, deliverables and review stages. We discuss those details before agreeing a project plan.

How do I contact AI X Studio?

Use the project enquiry form or email info@aixstudio.co.in. The form prepares a brief for you to send through your email app.
