# Turn a short-drama idea into one vertical episode

Short Drama Creation Workshop turns a drama premise into one vertical short-drama episode, using your face, costume, or location photos as references if you have them. You get character and story notes with a beat sheet, character and set pictures, one image per beat, voiced lines, an original score, and a subtitled 9:16 MP4 episode of up to two minutes. Short Drama Creation Workshop works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that run Skills.

## What one episode needs

### The same people from start to end

Main characters and sets get reference pictures first, and every frame follows them.

### The beat sheet comes before the pictures

Each beat's job, framing, and line is written first, and you can change it.

## How it is made

### Start · Read the bible and the beat sheet

Who stays the same, each beat's dramatic job, and every line come first.

### Pieces · Then pictures, voices, and the cut

Reference pictures, stills, voiced lines, and the score, with the chosen shots joined into a vertical episode.

## Romance, suspense, comedy, and tearjerkers

### A drama with a twist ending

One idea, with the hook, the turn, and the close made into motion shots.

### The next episode of a series

The same characters, wardrobe, and sets, carried into the next episode.

## Questions

### What do I need to start?

A premise: who it is about, what happens, and how it ends. The beat sheet and every line are written from it.

### Is every line voiced?

Yes. One line per speaking beat, in that character's voice.

### What does the finished episode look like?

One vertical 9:16 MP4 episode. It joins the hook, turn, and ending shots, each animated from its image, with the voiced lines, score, and subtitles.

### Can I use my own photos or voice?

Yes. Up to four face, costume, or location photos become the references for the images, and a clean single-speaker recording can become a character's voice.
