Your Scripts Can Be Films Now: Introducing Hamlet

Every creator on ScriptHooks has had the same moment: the script is done, it is good, and then the real work starts. Filming it. For two months we have been building the other half of that sentence.

Hamlet is an AI film studio. You describe a story, or paste a script, and it plans the shots, casts characters, storyboards every frame, renders the footage, lays the voiceover, and hands you a finished cut on a real timeline. It lives at hamlet.video, and your ScriptHooks login already works there.

Hamlet template home: cinematic trailer, kids scene, anime, product ad, nature doc, stop-motion, UGC, photorealistic — Start from a template. Style, model, format, music, and voice come preset. Just bring the story.

One click from script to film project

Every script you write in ScriptHooks now has a "Create this in Hamlet" button. Click it and Hamlet builds the project around your script: the text arrives word for word, your characters are extracted and cast, and your shot direction travels with it. Not a summary of your script. Your script.

A ScriptHooks script inside Hamlet: verbatim text, key art generated, narration voice assigned, music bed planned — A real script that crossed over: verbatim text, key art already generated, a narration voice assigned, the music bed planned.

Characters are cast, not re-described

The thing that breaks most AI video is that the person in shot four does not look like the person in shot one. Hamlet treats characters the way a production does: each one gets a canonical portrait that every storyboard frame and every rendered clip locks to, and each one gets their own voice that stays theirs across every line of dialogue. Write "CHAD:" in your script and Chad shows up looking like Chad and sounding like Chad, in every shot.

Hamlet Cast panel: a character's canonical portrait locked as cast with his own voice and a Lock character control — The Cast panel. Eli gets one canonical portrait and one voice, locked as cast. Every storyboard frame and every rendered shot keeps him on-model. You can generate a character in your style or upload your own art.

Your shot direction is followed, not ignored

ScriptHooks scripts ship with timecoded visual direction: the framing, the camera moves, the lighting. Hamlet reads that plan and builds its shot list from it. If you wrote a wide shot from behind with a slow push-in, that is the shot you get. The storyboard obeys the direction, and the render is anchored to the storyboard.

Hamlet shot editor: framing, camera move, duration, staging controls for angle, ambience, performance, tempo, and screen direction, plus wardrobe and re-storyboard — Every shot is directable: framing, camera move, duration, staging (angle, eyeline, ambience, performance, tempo, screen direction), even wardrobe. Change a control and re-storyboard just that shot.

Hamlet scripting canvas: key art anchoring every shot, narration and music planned, five rendered shots with storyboard frames and finished takes — A finished scene plan: key art anchors every shot, narration and score are set, and each shot carries its storyboard frame next to the rendered take, with framing, camera move, and engine per shot.

Honest pricing, because that is how we do things

Exploring Hamlet is free. You can plan, storyboard, and build a whole project without paying. Rendering video costs credits, sold in packs from $10, no subscription required. And there is no free video tier: video is genuinely expensive to run, and we would rather say that up front than fake an "unlimited" plan that gets throttled behind your back.

ScriptHooks members get 25% off their first credit pack with the code TRYHAMLET, good through August 5.
