Method

Story first, generation second.

Generation is no longer scarce. What studios lack is a reason for the audience to stay. Every FORMLAB AI project runs through the same four stages, with a review gate after each.

01:00:00:00

Format bible

Logline, season map, characters and arcs, the rules of the world. Written once, used by every episode.

FORMLAB
02:00:00:00

Script & storyboard

A director’s script, a shot list with camera and sound, and a visual bible: palette, light, character sheets, what must never appear.

FORMLAB
03:00:00:00

Generation

Your pipeline renders to the storyboard: models, character consistency, voices, localization.

Partner pipeline
04:00:00:00

Cut & approval

Animatic, edit and final cut reviewed against the bible. Nothing ships that drifts in face, costume or fact.

FORMLAB

Review gate: the next stage starts only after sign-off.

Slate

The first production, two series in development, more in the queue.

Each project has its own presentation: concept, visual bible and production plan.

Andorr. The Living Canvas

Անդորր · Андорр · Minas Avetisyan, 1962

Minas Avetisyan’s painting, restored in Dilijan, takes one quiet breath of ten seconds: wind in a branch, warmth in the hills, light in the field. The five figures never move, and the original is never redrawn.

10 s seamless loop · the painting’s own ratio · with the Dilijan museum-gallery · restoration, film and Living Canvas in one package

Principles

What we will not put on screen.

No real faces.Characters are designed from scratch. We do not build likenesses of living actors or public figures.
Accuracy before spectacle.Historical and religious material is checked by consultants from the culture it comes from, before generation starts.
Human authorship.Scripts, bibles and edits are written by people and documented, so the parts of the work that rights protect stay protected.
AI is disclosed.Generated content is labelled for the platforms and markets it is released in.

Bring us a pipeline. We bring the story.
