SkyProduction's brand-new version officially went online on August 31, integrating scripts, assets, storyboards, videos, and post-production into one production line, allowing creators to spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time refining their ideas.
Script functionality's three core elements
Anyone who has worked on AI-generated short dramas knows the hardest part isn't the first video—it's whether you can keep going on the 20th or 30th. A single shot gets regenerated over and over. Characters change faces the moment the scene shifts. A two-second glitch forces a full redo. Both time and money costs keep climbing.
Before AI-generated short films truly begin production, the quality of the script determines whether each subsequent step will require rework. SkyProduction puts script translation, script evaluation, and novel-to-script adaptation on the same creative chain: first clarify the content, then judge whether it's worth producing, and finally organize the stories that can be filmed into executable scripts.
Going overseas is not just about changing the language. SkyProduction combines character names, relationships, terminology, and context to translate dialogue into a more natural target language, while retaining the original script's scenes, actions, and format. Whether it's pairing Chinese storylines with English dialogue or localizing mature short films, the process can proceed to subsequent storyboarding and video production.
Furthermore, SkyProduction also supports overseas rendering, allowing short films to directly enter the overseas market.
Script evaluation: Before investing in production costs, take a look at what parts of the script are worth doing and what parts need to be revised. The system provides scores and revision suggestions from dimensions such as story structure, character setting, conflict progression, pace, and degree of dramatization, helping creators quickly identify key issues affecting the project. Revise the most critical areas first, then start production, and trial and error will be more targeted.
Novel-to-script adaptation: having a story does not necessarily mean having a shootable script. SkyProduction can break down the narrative, psychological activities, and key plots in a novel, organizing them into characters, scenes, actions, and dialogue to form a script framework suitable for short drama expression. Creators can then adjust the number of episodes, pace, and shots based on this foundation, before handing it over to the director Agent to generate storyboards and videos.
(2) First, reduce the cost of each "try again" attempt
AI-generated short films are not a one-time creation process. What's truly expensive is not how much it costs to generate one, but how many times you need to generate it to get a usable shot.
Taking Seedance 2.5 as an example, the price of 720P non-reference video can be as low as 0.4 yuan per second, and the direct generation cost of a 30-second video can be as low as 12 yuan.
With prices coming down, the most direct change is that creators dare to try a few more times.
Individual creators can produce multiple iterations, while studios can reinvest the savings into script refinement, camera testing, and market validation.
(3) From script to final cut, step by step.
After uploading a complete script, SkyProduction's Director Agent will first help identify characters, scenes, and props, analyze plot relationships, and then proceed with asset generation, storyboarding, and video shot production. Users can directly use the system-generated materials or upload their own reference images to incorporate their ideas.
In the Agent process, users can choose between Seedance 2.0's intelligent creation or intelligent scripting mode. For rapid production, a more streamlined path can be taken; for more stable character positioning and camera relationships, a positioning graph lock can be used, followed by entry into scripting, wireframe graphics, and video shot generation.
For creators, this means they do not need to have all the prompts figured out from the start.
It's possible to first hand over the script to the Agent, allowing it to break down the characters, scenes, and storyboards, and then personally confirm and modify at key nodes.
(4) If you want to work quickly, use Agent; if you want to work in finer detail, open the Infinite Canvas
SkyProduction's infinite canvas puts text, images, videos, and audio in the same space, allowing nodes to be connected to represent reference relationships between materials. Models, prompt words, reference materials, duration, and screen parameters can also be adjusted separately.
The current Infinite Canvas supports multi-person real-time collaboration, allowing screenwriters, directors, visual effects teams, and post-production staff to work together on the same project simultaneously.
(5) Fragment re-shooting! Only modify the problematic 10%, no need to re-shoot the entire video
The most frustrating situation with AI videos is often when 90% of the content is correct, but the remaining 10% contains errors.
The dialogue wasn't delivered well, the movements were unnatural, and one expression collapsed, but because it couldn't be partially revised, the entire segment had to be re-generated.
SkyProduction (Tiān Gōng Gōng Zhuō) supports intelligent dubbing, fragment re-shooting, and generation of ultra-long videos up to 10 minutes.
Any segment that is not satisfactory can be re-edited and analyzed frame by frame, examining key frames, camera pacing, and character screen time, helping creators identify areas that truly need adjustment.
Image and video super-resolution, watermark removal, and subtitle erasure capabilities are also incorporated into the same workflow.
For creators, generation is just one step, as actual content creation requires constant revision, adjustment, and refinement.
(6) Multiple people collaborate as a team, and costs must also be calculated clearly
When a project evolves from a single sample into dozens of episodes and hundreds of shots, creation is no longer the work of just one person.
SkyProduction (天工工作台) supports multiple administrators, sub-studios, project member permissions, and point allocation, allowing teams to manage personnel and projects according to their own collaboration methods.
Administrators can view consumption details from dimensions such as projects, episodes, and members. Members can enter corresponding projects after obtaining authorization. Each task has a status and a Task ID, allowing for quick location and feedback in case of exceptions.
It is possible to look up who is doing it, how much they are doing, how much they are spending, and where it needs to be redone.
These matters may seem unrelated to video production, but when AI is truly integrated into team production, personnel, project, and cost management are also indispensable aspects.
(7) From One-Off Generation to Continuous Creation
What SkyProduction (天工工作台) aims to achieve is not just a video generation tool, but a comprehensive platform that integrates script, assets, storyboarding, video and post-production. It enables creation to go beyond just "producing one piece", allowing for continuous advancement, modification and reuse, truly turning an idea into a complete work.
It doesn't require everyone to be a model expert, nor does it require professional creators to hand over all judgment to AI. You can start with a sentence of story, or a reference image; you can let the Agent move forward, or break down and modify each shot yourself.

This is also the problem that SkyProduction (Tian Gong Workbench) aims to solve: enabling AI short dramas to evolve from one-time generation to a continuous production process.
Turn ideas into shots, and then turn these shots into a complete work.
