How to Make an AI TV Pilot With AI

Writers and producers building a pilot episode to pitch a series, before a studio commits real cast and budget.

The workflow

  1. 01

    Write the idea in one line.

  2. 02

    Read the script, approve the cast, or ask for a redo.

  3. 03

    Pick a model per shot and see the credit price before you generate.

  4. 04

    Voice and lip sync are generated automatically.

  5. 05

    Export the episode with its subtitle file.

Cost per generation, and how long one takes

As an example: one 5-second shot on Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast is charged as 3.78 credits, about $0.173 at the Entry-tier credit price. The exact number for whichever model you pick sits on the Generate button before you confirm it.

Mistakes that ruin this

  • Trying to cram the whole series script into one pilot instead of proving the premise in one scene.
  • Skipping the cost-on-the-button step for a pitch deck run. Know the number before it goes in a proposal.
  • Treating the pilot as final. It is a proof of concept; the real cast and shots come after a pitch lands.
