Why did we build PopShort.AI?
When TikTok short dramas first emerged in 2023, we jumped in right away. From defining the script style to finding screenwriters to draft outlines and scripts, followed by script revisions, then casting actors, hiring a director, and recruiting all sorts of crew members, we had a ton on our plate. We also had to prepare costumes, props, locations, and equipment for filming. We managed to get all of this done as quickly as possible, but it still took us a full month. Then there was a week of shooting and 15 days of post-production. And just like that, an 80-episode short drama was finished. The entire process took nearly two months and left us exhausted. In the end, the revenue wasn't as ideal as we had hoped—we barely broke even.
Why PopShort.AI?
Our journey began in September 2023 when we started exploring AI short dramas. Writing our vision on a tattered piece of paper: "Everyone is an AI director, and everyone can be a great storyteller." We went through several iterations, from "PPT"-style AI short videos to AI-generated live-action shorts, from one person producing one episode per week to one person producing two episodes per day, and now to one-click AI shortfilms generation. PopShort.AI is the product of a year's worth of refining workflows into a single tool. We've streamlined the creative process, allowing users to focus on their ideas while we seamlessly handle scriptwriting, character selection, storyboard organization, images, videos, lip syncing, and more. No more switching between tools or managing multiple subscriptions. We completed a 100-episode series customized for a short drama platform in just 5 days.
