CAST & SETSCast & sets

Cast and sets, kept in one ledger

Actors, sets, props and voices go into the project's ledger before you shoot — the same groundwork as a film.

  3. Props
  4. Voice actors

01—THE LEDGERThe project's ledger

The project becomes the studio

Cast and sets live in the project, and every video borrows from it. However many you shoot, the same faces, the same places.

  • CAST9

    Cast

    Face reference and profile sheet, plus the description, art style and voice.

  • SETS21

    Sets

    Reference images of the place, and a set sheet with wide, overhead and close angles.

  • PROPS6

    Props

    Things that keep appearing, with a count of the shots they're in.

  • VOICES

    Voice actors

    What the voice is like and a sample read, linked to a cast member.

  • ASSETS112

    Asset library

    Photos, videos and in-story screens. You can also draw one from a prompt.

  • WIKI49

    Wiki

    Pitch, characters, script. The AI reads these to break the story into shots.

Counts from the vertical drama project “Balance: 10 Billion” (as of October 2, 2026).

Konte app screen (in Japanese): Asset library. Photos and videos both go in the asset library. Cast and set images sort themselves into folders.

02—CASTINGCasting

Actors start with an audition

Settle the face, make the full-body sheet, give them a voice. The same steps for live action or 2D.

  1. 01

    Write the role

    A name and a description. Attach a photo, or settle it by talking with the AI.

  2. 02

    Settle the face

    Draw the reference image with the image AI, or drag one in. You can pick the model that draws it.

  3. 03

    Profile sheet

    Full body, wardrobe and the face from several sides on one sheet, so they look like the same person in every shot.

  4. 04

    Give them a voice

    From the description and profile, the AI makes that cast member's voice and links it.

  5. 05

    Match the art style

    The art style is set for the project and can be overridden per cast member. Live action or 2D.

Konte app screen (in Japanese): Cast (2D). The three of a 2D action short. The lead, Nagi, has a profile sheet with full body, wardrobe and the face from several sides.

03—SETS & PROPSSets and props

Build the places and things first

Attach a set to a chapter and every shot is in the same place. A prop looks the same however often it appears.

Konte app screen (in Japanese): Sets. 12 places across 6 episodes. One room is reused for 30 shots.

04—IN THE SHOTFrom the ledger to the shot

Cast every shot from the ledger

Pick the cast, set and props on the storyboard, and their reference images go to the video AI.

    A punch over the shoulder

Left: the storyboard's 3D mock-up (the key moment). Right: the shot rendered with it as the framing guide. Faces and clothes are drawn from the cast's reference images.

  • Cast each shot

    On the storyboard each shot takes its cast, set and props from the ledger. Their reference images go straight to the video AI.

  • Fix it by talking

    The visual prompt for a cast member or set can be rewritten in conversation, to suit the image AI that draws it.

  • Carry it to another project

    Cast, sets and props can be copied to another project. So can a whole video.

  • Drop it in without rendering

    A video from the asset library can go into a shot as it is, without rendering.
