Make a short film with AI that holds together.

Most AI video tools give you clips. A short film needs a story, faces that stay the same and shots that cut together. RizzGen plans all of that with you before anything is generated.

  1. Youbring the story, or work it out with Rizzi
  2. Rizzidrafts the storyboard and a sheet for every face
  3. Youapprove the plan
  4. Rizzigenerates it scene by scene

The definition

An AI short film maker turns a story into a finished short film: it plans the script, storyboard and recurring characters, then generates each scene with AI video models and puts them on one timeline. Making one good shot is easy now. Making the last shot match the first is the hard part.

What a short film needs

  1. 01

    The story holds.

    You approve a script and storyboard before anything renders, so every scene serves one idea.

  2. 02

    The faces hold.

    Each recurring character gets a reference sheet, and every scene they appear in is generated from it.

  3. 03

    The shots cut together.

    Places, light and lens are planned per scene, so the edit does not jump.

  4. 04

    You can fix one shot.

    Re-shoot a single scene and the rest of the film stays as it was.

GENESIS: a short film made in RizzGen

Mars, 2054, six weeks after the first settlers landed. There is no narration: the pictures carry the story.

  • Pre-produced in RizzGen: concept, storyboard, and a reference sheet for every recurring face and place.
  • Five recurring characters, held from the first scene to the last.
  • Video generated with Seedance 2.5, including two 30-second continuous takes.
  • No narration. The story is told in pictures.

The sheets, made before any clip

  • GENESIS reference sheet: Settler ASettler A
  • GENESIS reference sheet: Settler BSettler B
  • GENESIS reference sheet: the hydroponics technicianTechnician
  • GENESIS reference sheet: the engineerEngineer
  • GENESIS reference sheet: the sleeping childChild
  • GENESIS location sheet: the habitat interiorHabitat

Every scene was generated from these sheets (how the sheets keep characters consistent). Watch Rizzi pre-produce GENESIS step by step on the home page, or open it in the showcase.

Dabbawale: 52 seconds, every decision written down

A Mumbai dabbawala whose lunch route ends at a rocket launch. The director's commentary walks through each creative choice in order, and the RizzGen session behind it is public, so you can see the plan and the takes for yourself.

One prompt, or a planned short film

A single prompt is fine for one clip. A short film is dozens of shots that have to agree with each other.

One-prompt generator Prompt, then hope
  • The model picks the story beats, faces and framing.
  • Each clip is a fresh guess, so characters drift from shot to shot.
  • A fix means generating, and paying for, the whole thing again.
Short film in RizzGen Plan, then generate
  • You approve the script, storyboard and cast before anything renders.
  • Every scene is generated from the same reference sheets.
  • You re-shoot one scene and the rest of the film stays locked.

Plan the whole film free. Pay only for what is generated.

Story, script, storyboard and every revision of the plan cost nothing. Credits are used only when an image, voice, music track or clip is generated, and you see each cost before you confirm.

Questions

Software that turns a story into a finished short film. It plans the script, storyboard and recurring characters, then generates each scene with AI video models and puts them on one timeline. The hard part is not one good shot but keeping every shot consistent with the others, which is why the planning comes first.

You can plan one for free. Story, script, storyboard and revisions to the plan cost nothing, and new accounts get 120 free credits with no card. Credits are used only when an image, voice, music track or video clip is generated, and RizzGen shows the cost of each before you confirm. A full short film usually needs more than the free credits; credits never expire and there is no subscription.

Before anything is generated, Rizzi makes a reference sheet for each recurring character, and for key places and objects. You approve or change them, and every scene a character appears in is generated from their sheet, so the face and wardrobe hold across the film. You can also upload your own reference images.

Yes. Paste or upload your script and Rizzi breaks it into scenes, proposes the storyboard and cast, and waits for your approval. If you only have an idea, Rizzi can research and write the script with you first.

Several. RizzGen picks a model for each shot, or you choose one yourself, and every scene sits on one timeline whichever model made it. GENESIS, the film on this page, was generated with Seedance 2.5.

Original characters work best. Most video models refuse or water down characters owned by a studio, so a fan film often stalls at generation. Write your own characters, or give a familiar idea a fresh design, and the reference sheets keep them consistent.
