I split AI short-drama production into 5 agents—here's what broke
LateQuantity4194 · reddit · 2026-11-05
After two months of producing serialized AI short dramas with a 5-agent pipeline (story architect, episode planner, script writer, storyboard director, video agent), the author shares what worked and what didn't. Wins: one job per agent with no upstream rewrites (continuity flags instead), and approving each shot's first frame before video generation—cutting most wasted generations. Failures: character consistency drifted by episode 3 until a fixed one-line character sheet was pasted into every shot prompt; episode pacing kept mismatching script length. Unsolved: how much pushback downstream agents should be allowed.
