Short dramas, with their rapid shot rhythms, dialogue-driven focus shifts, and demanding cinematographic grounding, pose challenges that prompt-level or text-only video generation pipelines struggle to meet. We study plot-to-short-drama generation, where a global plot and local context are transformed into visually grounded multi-shot videos.
Auteur is a language‑driven method that generates human‑centric camera framing for generative video models. It treats shots as framings relative to an actor, encoding shot size, angle, and composition as functions of human pose and motion, and uses a domain‑specific language that converts to standard 6‑DoF camera parameters. A fine‑tuned multimodal large language model acts as a virtual director, mapping natural language descriptions and coarse human motion to sparse DSL keyframes that are interpolated into continuous camera trajectories for video generation.

TKCAM is a new framework for generating controllable camera motion conditioned on text and sparse keyframes, using a 12‑dimensional kinematic representation and a two‑stage masked transformer with residual vector quantization. It allows users to provide free‑form text prompts and RGB observations at selected timestamps, enabling temporally localized visual guidance for coherent trajectory synthesis. The authors also introduce the RealEstate10K‑Cap dataset and a Universal CLaTr Evaluator, showing that TKCAM outperforms recent baselines on FID, text‑motion matching, and retrieval metrics.

Generating high-quality and controllable camera motion is essential for AI-assisted cinematography, video synthesis, and 3D scene understanding. We introduce TKCAM, a Text- and Keyframe-conditioned CA...
CamPilot is a multi‑agent cinematic assistant that combines cinematographic planning with camera‑work control to generate more coherent and aesthetically pleasing movies from text prompts. It learns camera‑work planning from 14,000 professional films using a GRPO‑based learning paradigm, capturing motion patterns, composition principles, and cross‑shot relationships. The system is evaluated with a new benchmark, CamEval, and outperforms existing text‑to‑movie methods in cinematographic control and quality.

WanPE is a 397‑B parameter prompt‑enhancement model that learns director‑level cinematic planning from 1.05 M real‑world videos. It generates shot‑level cinematic plans through video‑grounded reverse construction and uses Semantic‑Consistency GRPO (SC‑GRPO) to maintain user intent across shots and time. In evaluations, WanPE improves human preference over raw prompts by up to 50.86 points for 30‑second videos and outperforms commercial offerings for shorter durations.
