Capabilities shown
What it shows: the “3D character series” style, expressive 3D characters in a series with dialogue and a cliffhanger. Each frame was requested the way the factory requests it in this style, with each character’s reference sheet so they look the same in every shot. The close-ups of each turn have lips synced to the voice, and the rest has camera movement at no cost. The tilt of the orbit and the duration in Ceuta come from Spain’s National Astronomical Observatory.

How the factory makes a video like this
This sample was made with the CLAQON factory and the same request AI Characters makes for its style: each character’s sheet, its shots, ElevenLabs voices and the scenes layer on top. On your account, your AI model writes the script from sources and it passes the HARD QC before anything is spent on voice, images or video.
Official source
Spain’s National Astronomical Observatory, cited at the end of the video and in the sheet.
One sheet per character
Each fictional character has an AI-generated reference sheet, and every shot receives it so the character stays the same from start to finish.
Lip sync on every turn
The close-up of whoever speaks has lips synced to their voice; the rest is camera movement, at no video cost.
Cost on record
Every image and every second of lip sync is recorded with its real cost: the sheet breaks it down.
