What do I need to start a story video?

The passage itself. A chapter, an excerpt, a short story, or a synopsis is enough to build the beat sheet and the shots.

How do characters stay recognisable between scenes?

Each recurring character is drawn once as a reference, and every later scene is built from that drawing so the face and costume carry through.

How long does each scene run?

Each scene runs to the length of the narration recorded for it, so the line finishes inside the clip.
