How to make AI skits with a recurring cast

Keep the world recognizable. Change the situation.

A repeatable AI skit workflow separates the story from the reusable scene: write one clear situation, keep the characters and room consistent, approve the voices, then render and review the episode. Formato Skits uses a code-rendered low-poly scene and generated voices. It does not need a new video-generation prompt for every shot.

Vibiz: Is this place new?№003
“Is this place new?” — a 55-second Vibiz example of the format that became Skits. The brand is an example, not included in the pack.

Write the exchange before building the scene

The format has two roles: an owner with a painfully specific problem, and a helper whose matter-of-fact response makes the problem clearer. Start with a situation a customer can recognize. Keep the product claim factual; a comic exaggeration should not become a false promise about what the brand does.

Tell your agent

Write a short deadpan skit for [brand]. Owner: [person and problem]. Helper: [character and voice]. The owner confesses one specific disaster. The helper responds with flat facts, then offers one believable save. Use a single night room. Give each line a purpose, mark pauses, and stop for script approval. Do not invent product capabilities.

A practical episode sequence

  1. Approve the script

    Read the dialogue aloud. Remove explanations the scene already communicates. Make sure the setup and payoff still work without the brand name.

  2. Check the cast and room

    Use the still lab to inspect faces, costume and framing before the full render. This is a cheap place to catch a character mismatch.

  3. Pick performances

    Generate voice takes, listen in context and choose them. Do not judge timing from isolated lines alone.

  4. Render a review copy

    Check the first few seconds, pauses, captions and phone-speaker sound. Fix the relevant stage instead of rerunning every paid call.

What Skits adds

Skits v0.2.0 includes six owners, a night room, a helper character builder, a still lab and the production/review process. ElevenLabs is required for the voice stage; Gemini and fal are optional. The example is in English. Review any new language’s performance and caption handling before committing to a series.

Questions

Does it generate every frame with an AI video model?

The core Skits scene is rendered from code with three.js. Voices use ElevenLabs; optional tools support other parts of the workflow.

Can I use my own brand character?

The pack accepts a brand helper module or a character-builder specification. Inspect and approve the resulting character before making a series.
