Even though people use the term “metaverse” as if it were some new, revolutionary terminology to explain every tech in one word, what exists is simple. It’s a place where we meet another copy of ourselves in a contact-free world to represent ourselves in an ideal way.

What really amazes me is that instead of just watching someone else’s performance in another world, people have started creating their own content. When we were bored, we used to go to the movies to watch something, but now people, especially Gen-Z, make up their own stories when they are bored.

Creating Web dramas got easier!

Fortunately for them, all the tools to make their stories in the form of a video are announced and made along with the hypes of the Metaverse. Continuing last week’s topic, let’s take a look at examples of dramas made by Gen Z and find out what the characteristics of these dramas are.

Plotagon

Plotagon

There is an app called Plotagon that allows anyone to create a story by providing a mini animation studio. Despite the many flaws this app has, such as not being able to move properly and looking weird and robotic, many people still use it. This is because even if they do not like the specific feature within the app, they can use another tool to make up for the weak features.

For example, if a user does not like the way Plotagon’s avatars sound, they can use another AI voice-over tool to add sound to the video. Since Plotagon does not support languages other than English, users also use other tools for other language options, such as an AI voice-over service, typecast.

K-dramas are popular all over the world and AI voice-over more than 100 voices in English and Korean definitely a good option for users.

Zepeto

Needless to say, Zepeto is a Gen Zs playground and they have collaborated with many high brands like Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and K-pop stars like BlackPink and Twice. Using different avatars and virtual spaces under different themes such as café and amusement parks, more user-created web dramas are now born every second. Since its popularity and quality have been proven, the final touch of the voice is needed and typecast’s voice fits the video.

Web Dramas by Genre

The genres of these Gen Z-made web dramas vary, but most of them tend to connect to a theme that teens can relate to. The plot thickens in the classroom and Starbucks, and sometimes there’s content where teens talk about MBTI, personality analysis like the zodiac signs. Also, the plot twisted Disney’s classic movies or famous dramas are popular, too.

The takeaway

There are many visual web drama editors with unique avatar features, but the expectation for quality is getting higher and higher. If there are several tools to make it perfect, there is no reason for users not to use them! Creating web dramas would be associated with becoming a popular creator, and at the same time, it entertains other people! No matter how we think, this web drama market would only get bigger and bigger, and being the best provider of the most needed tool would make someone a winner, whether it’s a video or a voice or both.
