02Approach

Direction comes first.
Live action and AI, one standard.

  1. 01Break down the brief

    Plan first: script, storyboard, and the one thing the audience must remember.

  2. 02Build the assets

    Characters, locations, product and style references are locked before anything is generated.

  3. 03Shoot or generate, shot by shot

    Every shot gets a shooting plan or a prompt. Versions are kept; only the best survive.

  4. 04Back to the cut

    Edit, sound, titles and delivery QC — finished to a director’s standard.

The YIQI STUDIO workflow, distilled from Zhang Yiqi’s AI filmmaking courses and production training.

02.1Live Action × AI

Both answer
to the director.
