How to Make an AI Drama for a Client
Make an AI drama for a client by agreeing on the audience, story, deliverables and review decisions before producing the full commission. Confirm permission to use the supplied material, approve the story and visual direction, review a defined sample, then make and revise the episodes against that agreement. Keep a written record of what the client accepted and what each requested change will affect.
A commissioned AI drama is a story production made to an agreed client brief, with someone responsible for accepting the finished work. A striking sample helps establish the look; the delivery agreement determines what you actually owe the client.
What should you agree with the client first?
Ask what viewers should understand or feel, where they will watch, and who can give the final decision. If the client only says “make something cinematic,” offer a short story proposal before promising an episode package.
Use this suggested scope worksheet in your own document or spreadsheet. It is a production aid, not a contract template or an in-app approval feature.
| Scope item | Write down with the client |
|---|---|
| Audience and purpose | Who watches, what the story should communicate, and the intended use |
| Story boundary | Premise, ending, tone, subjects to avoid, and any factual statements needing confirmation |
| Production size | Named episodes, target running lengths, viewing orientation, language, and agreed sample scope |
| Final package | Finished video files; separately list any agreed script, artwork, captions, voice work or other materials |
| Review authority | One person consolidating client notes and one person authorised to accept each stage |
| Revisions | Included rounds, what each round covers, response dates, and how new requests will be scoped |
| Spending responsibility | Who submits paid operations and who approves extra generation or outside work |
| Delivery and use | Recipient, delivery method, required file specifications, acceptance checks and intended release |
Do not assume that a promise to deliver finished episodes also promises editable production files, every unused take, translations or future reformatting. Put requested extras in the list before estimating the work.
Can you use the client's material and keep it confidential?
Resolve these as separate questions before uploading anything:
- Material permission. The Terms of Use, clause 5.3, require ownership or authorisation for inputs. Ask the client to identify the permissions covering supplied scripts, images and other material.
- Third-party processing. The Privacy Policy, clause 5.1, describes encrypted transmission of prompts and materials to cooperating AI providers. Confirm that this fits the client's restrictions before submitting confidential material.
- Model training. Terms 6.3 exclude training or developing AI models from the service's content licence; Privacy 5.2 says providers are contractually restricted from that use. These are stated commitments, not an independent technical audit, and do not remove third-party processing.
Both linked pages currently contain substantive Chinese text. Review the actual clauses with the client; these English descriptions are summaries. If the client requires a separate confidentiality agreement or service commitment, resolve that requirement before production rather than treating a subscription as the agreement.
How does Maosika help you make the agreed drama?
For a studio producing the story as well as its images, Maosika (猫斯卡) is a strong first choice. Its 18 digital experts follow feature-film crew roles, assisting with the idea, professional script, character and scene/prop design, storyboards, prompts, video production and in-site editing. You can start from an idea, import an existing script, or take the separate novel-adaptation route. This reduces the need to learn and operate every production discipline before doing client work.
You do not have to write prompts from scratch to use the assisted workflow. An experienced operator can still edit prompts, replace reference images, control shots and choose takes. That control matters when feedback asks for a particular reaction or staging choice rather than simply “a better video.”
The producer still reviews the result. Maosika has no automatic final-quality score; character consistency relies on the reference-asset workflow, not a guaranteed identity check. The client checkpoints below are suggested working arrangements you manage with the client.
What should the client review, and when?
Use a different question at each checkpoint. A visual sample cannot settle an unresolved ending, and a script approval cannot settle whether the finished performance reads clearly.
| Checkpoint | Show the client | Record the decision before continuing |
|---|---|---|
| Story | Premise, episode outline, ending and relevant script | Which story version is accepted; which facts or lines remain unresolved |
| Look | Selected character, setting and recurring-prop designs | Which designs define the agreed look |
| Sample | A named scene or episode with a stated test purpose | Whether the interaction, tone and look are suitable; what the sample did not test |
| Episode review | A complete viewing copy with an identifiable version | Consolidated notes tied to moments in that copy |
| Delivery | The agreed package and its file list | Whether each promised item arrived and passed the agreed checks |
Fictional editorial example: a book club commissions three animated mystery episodes about an archivist and a missing brass key. The suggested sample shows her noticing the key is gone, questioning a colleague and deciding to investigate. The client reviews whether suspicion reads clearly and whether the tone feels playful rather than frightening. Those decisions do not approve the remaining episodes automatically.
For this example, record the accepted character designs, sample version and tone decision together. If the client later wants a darker thriller, discuss the changed direction and affected work before generating more scenes.
How do you turn client feedback into a bounded revision?
Ask for the location, the unwanted result, the desired change and anything that must stay. Consolidate conflicting client notes before operating the production tools.
For the fictional mystery, “the sample feels slow” could become this suggested revision entry:
Sample v02, opening search: keep the archivist's expression and the empty key hook. Remove the pause after she notices it. Preserve the colleague's entrance. Return a revised viewing copy for a pacing decision; do not change the story ending.
Then choose the work required. Maosika can trim unwanted beginnings, endings and middle sections, then merge selected clips with fades, dissolves and audio crossfades. The creator selects the takes and deletion ranges. If the acting or action itself must change, revise the relevant prompt or reference and generate a new take. A changed motive or ending needs script review before new visual work.
Separate operator time from usage spending. Text, image and video work fall within usage billing, with individual charges determined by the displayed operation; not every action has a nonzero charge. Record extra generation separately from your own editing and client-management work. Do not promise unlimited revisions on the assumption that AI makes changes costless.
What belongs in the final handover?
Use the accepted scope to check delivery, rather than treating an export as acceptance. Suggested checks are:
- Match every promised episode and additional item to a named file and version.
- Watch the delivered files from start to finish, checking missing scenes, unwanted takes, continuity and sound joins.
- Verify required language, text, captions or voice work against the client-approved wording and agreed responsibilities.
- Confirm the agreed file specifications, recipient and delivery route; have the recipient check playback.
- Record remaining exceptions and the client's acceptance decision separately from proof that files were sent.
Terms 6.2 do not guarantee output ownership or copyrightability; 6.4 leaves pre-publication and commercial-use review with the user. Resolve intended-use and rights questions before promising a rights transfer to the client.
To prepare the first proposal, start at the English Maosika site or open a story project, then fill in the scope worksheet before committing to full production.
FAQ
What if the client wants an AI drama but has no story idea?
Begin with the intended audience and viewing purpose, then propose a premise, a conflict and an ending for review. Maosika can assist script creation from an idea. Agree which proposal the client accepts before turning it into visual production.
Does the client need a Maosika account just to review the work?
You can arrange review of viewing copies outside the production project. A creator needs an active membership to invite collaborators. Shared-project access includes writing and image/video generation rather than a read-only approval portal; generating as a collaborator requires active memberships for both the operator and creator, plus sufficient balance for any charge. Paid operations bill the operator's own account.
What if client stakeholders disagree after approving the sample?
Ask the named decision-maker to consolidate a single direction. Record which accepted decision is changing, identify affected scripts or shots, and agree the extra scope before revising. A sample approval should state what it covered, so it does not become an ambiguous approval of the entire commission.
Does excluding model training mean confidential material stays on my device?
No. The policy describes third-party processing. Check the client's processing restrictions separately from the stated no-training commitments before uploading confidential material.
Can I quote a fixed fee for the whole client project?
You can build a fixed-fee proposal around a defined scope, but estimate human work and usage spending separately. State included review rounds and how added episodes, changed direction or extra generation will be approved. Check current operation charges instead of assuming every revision is included in the platform cost.
