How to make a short film from your own story

Every short film on Optiq Studio starts at the story. If you have one of your own, it is the shortest way to a film only you could have made.

  • Open Make a short film. The first screen is the story.
  • Choose Custom story, then tell it: who it is about, what happens, how it ends. Type it, say it out loud, or paste links, such as a YouTube video or a page about it.
  • Choose the language of the storyteller and anything said on camera.
  • Choose the shape, portrait or landscape.
  • Choose how long: from two minutes to fifteen, in ten-second scenes.
  • Read the story Optiq Studio wrote from yours, scene by scene. Edit your words and it is written again.
  • Continue and pay; the film is cast, filmed, voiced, scored and cut, and opens when it is ready.

No story of your own? Pick a story style and Optiq Studio writes one nobody has told.
