Plan AA: AI Animated Short Film

Midjourney + Flux

Generate multi-angle reference sheets for the main characters, lock hair, outfit, palette and style into a single description, and reuse it as the fixed reference for every later image-to-video pass.

💡Reusing one character image as the fixed reference gives you the most stable cross-shot consistency.

Turn the script into a storyboard table: shot number, visual, dialogue, duration and camera move, marking keyframes and emotional beats. Budget roughly one shot per 3-5 seconds — around 15-20 shots per minute.

💡If you can't draw, write detailed visual descriptions and let the AI turn them into image prompts.

Flux + 可灵 Kling + Runway

Generate keyframes in Flux first, then animate them with image-to-video in Kling or Runway; produce a few takes for important actions and transitions and pick the best. You can also render characters and backgrounds separately and composite.

💡Generating characters and backgrounds separately keeps the style unified and lets you swap backgrounds without redrawing characters.

Editor + Suno

Cut shots to the storyboard, time transitions and score to the emotional beats, generate an ending theme or ambient track in Suno, then grade, caption and add sound effects.

💡Lock the music before editing — the edit flows far better when emotional beats follow the track.
