For authors, producers & original storytellers
Build a story that can last beyond one scene.
Powai Lake Studios develops AI-assisted webseries, episodic stories and literary adaptations. From a book or original idea to scripts, character references, cinematic scenes and finished episodes, our Mumbai team approaches AI filmmaking as a directed storytelling process.
From source material to screen language
A novel and a film communicate differently. We begin by identifying the scene, conflict, character viewpoint and emotional turning point. Scripts and shot plans then establish what the audience needs to see, hear and understand. For an original series, the same process starts with your premise and intended audience.
Our Ponniyin Selvan English project is a public example of this work: Kalki’s historical world, adapted in English by R. Kumar, is being developed for an ongoing cinematic series. The official trailer and released chapters are available on the Powai Lake Studios YouTube channel. The project demonstrates our approach; it is not a claim that every scene or every planned episode has already been completed.
What an episodic production can include
- Story development, adaptation planning and an agreed episode or pilot script.
- Character references, costumes, environments and visual development.
- Scene geography, shot planning, generated motion and continuity review.
- Editing, colour, sound and agreed titles or subtitles for the finished episode.
Consistency needs a production plan
Recurring faces, costumes and locations are central to an episodic story. We establish approved references and review shots against them. Motion, camera direction and scene geography also need attention so that individual images become a coherent sequence.
Human direction remains important throughout. Lobelia Ghosh leads creative development and visual continuity; Ashutosh Sinha works on editing and post-production. For a long project, a scoped pilot or sequence can help establish the visual approach before a larger episode schedule is agreed.
Rights, scope and delivery
Tell us whether you own the story or hold the adaptation rights. A production discussion does not transfer intellectual-property rights, and we need the appropriate permissions before adapting protected material. If the source is your own book, share a synopsis and a short representative section first.
Webseries and literary-adaptation fees are quoted on enquiry. Episode duration, number of characters and locations, action complexity, language, voice, music, revisions and output formats all affect production. We agree the pilot or episode scope and schedule before work begins.

Can you adapt my book into an AI webseries?
We can discuss a book-to-screen adaptation when you own or hold the necessary rights. Start with a synopsis, target audience, preferred format and budget range.
Can we begin with a pilot rather than a full series?
Yes. A pilot or representative sequence can be scoped to establish the visual direction, characters and production approach before discussing a larger series.
Are character consistency and natural movement automatic?
No. They require references, shot selection, continuity checks and human direction. We assess the demands of your story before agreeing the scope.
