AI short dramas, first loosen the boundaries of the themes
Watching AI short dramas these past couple of days, my biggest takeaway wasn’t how visually stunning they are, but rather how much it has broadened the scope of genres/subjects. Previously, in live-action short dramas, things like zombies, armies, or mythical fantasy creatures weren’t impossible to shoot; it was just too expensive and required too much staging and logistics. Consequently, producers often had to stick to ‘safe bets’ like office life, family drama, misunderstandings, or reversals of fortune. Using AI for this is actually a perfect match.
