From a short outline to a finished story

Hot Dog King started as a short outline: a shy student joins a hot-dog eating club to get closer to the girl he likes, and takes second place in the city final. These frames are from the video Zoromi made from it.

Hot Dog King - 36-second opening excerpt. Open the full example below to compare the written story outline with every generated clip.

From four lines to a 77-second episode

Fated Crash is the shortest kind of story input: a logline, three characters, a setting and one line for the episode. From that, Zoromi wrote the script, made 17 cards and shot seven clips. The torn wedding dress the brief asked for is there from the first second to the last.

What the creator typed

A runaway bride crashes on a mountain road and is pulled from the wreck by a reclusive stranger who growls that she smells like his fated mate.

Characters: Emma Lane, the runaway bride, 26; Kael, the reclusive stranger, 32; Grant Whitmore, her groom, 34.

Setting: a snowy mountain road in Colorado; Kael's isolated log cabin in the woods.

Episode 1: A stranger drags her from her crashed car on a mountain road minutes after she fled her own wedding, and growls that she is his fated mate. Emma wears her wedding dress for the whole episode; no costume change.

What Zoromi planned - 7 clips, 1:17

1. Snowbound Rescue15 s
2. Fated9 s
3. Kael's Cabin - Alone5 s
4. Because It's True13 s
5. No Signal Up Here14 s
6. Headlights on the Mountain Road10 s
7. Claimed10 s

Seventeen reference cards were made once first: Emma, Kael, Grant, the armed men, the wolf, the silver sedan, the mountain road, the cabin, the blanket, the mug of tea and the rest.

What came out - the published first episode

Fated Crash - 31-second excerpt from the published first episode, made upright at 9:16. Watch the whole episode free in Zoromi Theater.

Reference card for Emma Lane: full-length, a young woman with long auburn hair in a torn, mud-stained white satin wedding dress with a lace bodice and white heels, on a plain grey background — Emma's card, made once from one line of the brief

Clip 1: Emma, a cut on her forehead, grips the wheel of the wrecked car in the snow, still in the torn wedding dress — Clip 1 (0:00) - the crash

Clip 3: Emma wrapped in a green plaid wool blanket at the cabin table, a stoneware mug of tea in front of her — Clip 3 (0:24) - the cabin; the blanket and the mug were cards too

Clip 7: Emma in the same torn dress faces Kael in his brown leather jacket inside the log cabin — Clip 7 (1:10) - the same dress, the same man, the hook

Emma's torn wedding dress is in clip 1 and still there in clip 7, because the brief said so once.

Questions

Can I start from just an idea?

Yes. One sentence is enough; Zoromi expands it into a script you can read and edit before it plans the clips.

Which languages can the story be in?

English and Chinese stories are supported, including dialogue.

What does it cost to turn a story into a video?

It depends on the number and length of clips. For scale: the first episode of Fated Crash is seven clips, 1 minute 17 seconds in all, at 720p. See the pricing page for Gems packs or optional monthly plans.
