A live-action drama episode, restyled to anime
A Southeast Asian broadcaster asked whether a live-action teen drama could become an anime series without reshooting a frame. We converted a full pilot episode, segment by segment, keeping the camera moves and re-laying the original audio track.
What we learned: our first pipeline used character reference sheets, and it swapped identities between characters, an older relative taking on a lead’s face. We rebuilt it to preserve identity from the source frames alone, and it now holds across the whole cast, extras included.
Footage under NDA. Side-by-side samples are available on request once the client approves.
