How to make an AI fruit drama (the Fruit Love Island trend)

1. 1

   Design your fruit cast

   In the image studio, make one clear picture per character: a strawberry diva, a banana flirt, a lemon who stirs trouble. Give each one a fixed outfit or accessory. Then save each picture as a Character so it gets an @handle, for example @strawberry and @banana. Up to 9 image references fit in one video.

2. 2

   Write a tiny script

   One scene, one twist. Three or four short lines are enough for 15 seconds. End on a reveal or a cliffhanger so people come back for the next part.

3. 3

   Open the video studio on Seedance 2.5

   Set 9:16 and turn generated audio on. Describe the place, then the characters by @handle, then the beats with time ranges and each line in braces: {like this}.

4. 4

   Generate the scene

   Test the idea first: 24 credits for 5 seconds at 720p. The finished clip is 70 credits for 15 seconds at 720p. The exact price is on the Generate button before anything is charged, and failed generations give the credits back. Generated audio does not change the price.

5. 5

   Join the scenes into an episode

   Make 2 to 4 scenes with the same characters and the same style words, then join them in the free video editor and add captions. A single scene can run up to 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5.

• The smoothie betrayal (villa pool)

  Vertical 3D animated reality-show scene, glossy Pixar-like look. A sunny villa pool at golden hour. @strawberry, a strawberry character with big eyelashes and a pink sundress, sits on a sun lounger. @banana, a tall banana character in sunglasses and a gold chain, walks up holding two smoothies. 0-4s: @banana's line (smooth): {I made you a smoothie.} 4-8s: @strawberry lowers her sunglasses, her line (suspicious): {What flavour?} 8-12s: he looks at the cup, sweating; his line (nervous): {...Strawberry.} 12-15s: she gasps and the camera zooms in fast on her shocked face. Audio: the dialogue, pool water, cicadas, a dramatic sting at the end. No subtitles.

• The recoupling (fire pit)

  Vertical 3D animated reality-show scene, glossy Pixar-like look, night. Fruit characters sit around a fire pit with fairy lights. @lemon, a lemon character in a yellow bikini top, stands up holding a card. 0-5s: her line (dramatic): {I've made my decision.} 5-9s: close-up of @banana smiling confidently. 9-13s: @lemon's line (sweetly): {I choose... the pineapple.} 13-15s: @banana's jaw drops, the camera whips to @strawberry laughing behind her hand. Audio: the dialogue, crackling fire, a dramatic drumroll. No subtitles.

• Confession cam (one character)

  Vertical 3D animated reality-show confession booth, glossy Pixar-like look. @strawberry sits on a heart-shaped velvet chair, talking straight to the camera, fanning herself. Her line (annoyed, fast): {He said strawberry was his favourite. His FAVOURITE. And then he made a smoothie out of my cousin.} She stares into the camera in silence for a beat. Static camera, pink neon light. Audio: her voice, a soft room hum, a comedy sting at the end. No subtitles.
