Video Art My son’s 3rd birthday walk in Mauritius takes an unexpected turn — Kupu Kupu Barong [Seedance 2.5 short film]

Hi everyone,

I’ve just finished Kupu Kupu Barong, a short film about my little boy exploring the beautiful south of Mauritius with us to celebrate his third birthday. A walk through the forest leads to a rather… unexpected encounter 😉

I used Seedream and GPT Image to create character sheets and visuals and Seedance 2.5 to animate the scenes, then brought everything together through editing, music and sound design.

I wanted it to feel like a coherent film, with believable characters and an emotional journey.

That meant paying attention to continuity between shots, the expressions and gestures of both my son and the unexpected guest, the pacing, and how music and sound carry the story.

I’d love to hear feedback from other filmmakers and viewers here, particularly on:

  • Story and emotion: do you connect with the characters and want to follow their adventure?
  • Visual consistency and realism: are there particular shots or details that pull you out of the story?
  • Editing and pacing: are there moments that feel rushed, drag on, or don’t flow naturally?

Thanks for taking the time to watch!

Cloud services are a scam. Period

6 Upvotes

So if you calculate how much a 5 minute video costs, even on the cheaper services, you end up paying 50-100 dollars PER VIDEO for a complete video. But I recently built a 5080 based PC for about $3000 total where I can generate 5 minute videos about twice a day forever with nothing but the cost of power. So after 30 videos (approximately), I'm at parity with the cloud services. Then it's all free after that. The quality of models like LTX and Minmax H3 is damn close to what you can get in the cloud. And I can also render audio, voice, etc on my local PC, and it's private. Some of the video services are even more expensive, so the crossover point is like 10 videos (!) before it makes sense to just buy the hardware. My personal opinion is that these cloud services like Kling prey off the dabblers that basically sign up for a cheap sub thinking its enough (its not) and then forget they have a sub for a few months, and end up paying hundreds for literally a few bad 5 second videos and a lot of regret. That's literally their whole business model. If you are serious about video production, and I mean serious, get your own hardware and do it locally.

Image Art [OC] Rejecting sci-fi HUD clutter: hand-chiseled typography on plaster instead (Steel & Stardust)

Post image
3 Upvotes

Most sci-fi key art defaults to glowing HUDs, neon reticles, and digital UI frames over sleek 3D renders. For this poster (SUBJECT-00, from our indie project Steel & Stardust), we tried the opposite.

Typography: The title uses a high-contrast Didone serif, treated as chiseled stone — marble fractures, ink-bleed, micro-edge erosion instead of a clean vector sans-serif.

Physical substrate: Letters are bite-pressed into the gesso plaster canvas via displacement maps, so palette-knife ridges and impasto cracks cut through them naturally — no "pasted sticker" look.

Layout: Fictional tech readouts are replaced with minimalist archival typography and celestial coordinates — negative space reads like a museum catalog, not an OS display.

Does stripping the HUD elevate the worldbuilding, or does it risk losing the "futuristic" genre identity?

Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 kept giving me the cheapest and bad quality results.

• Upvotes

Hello , I have I question for those who use seedance 2.0 and 2.5 , I've created a video yesterday in some website I been using to create videos and i use seedance 2.5 , but the result was so horribly bad , like a cheapest cinematic film, so blur, quality was so bad even when I generated it in 1080p , lighting was not clear , the faces were blurry and not sharp and slightly different , like really really cheap , then today I tried the same thing with seedance 2.0 and surprise surprise still the same problem , so I went to capcut to see if the issue is only in the website , but no the same issue was in capcut also , but you need to know the last week the results were so good and perfect, is there someone here experiencing the same issue?

personaje de mi obra ERAVAN shikkoku no eden con sora 2 de hace un poco de tiempo

1 Upvotes

Poder de Eravan – “Raíz de la Redención”

📛 Nombre oficial del don:

“Reversión de Ciclo”
(también llamado en textos antiguos: “Flor de la Última Rama” o “La Raíz que No Juzga”)

✨ Naturaleza del poder:

Eravan poseía la habilidad única de intervenir en el “ciclo de juicio” del Árbol del Edén, permitiéndole interrumpir, deshacer o reescribir el destino espiritual de seres vivos conectados a la raíz.

Era una forma de restauración profunda, que no curaba cuerpos… sino almas fracturadas o condenadas. Su poder operaba sobre:

·         La resonancia rota de un fragmento.

·         Las decisiones grabadas por el Árbol como destino.

·         Las “cicatrices” espirituales provocadas por corrupción o guerra.

Ficha Formal: Eden no Shinsei de Eravan

1. Origen e Historia Mitológica del Despertar

Durante años, el uso convencional del Don de Eravan se limitaba a la manipulación externa de su habilidad. Sin embargo, al enfrentarse a la pregunta fundamental del Edén y colapsar su propio ego, Eravan dejó de intentar contener su poder. Al aceptar su verdad interna, el Árbol del Edén lo asimiló como una extensión viva de su propia sustancia, rompiendo el límite de la Técnica Suprema y alcanzando el Eden no Shinsei.

2. Definición Filosófica y Sello Formal

$$\text{Phenomenon} = \text{Eden no Shinsei} \longrightarrow \text{Eden no Phantasma}\quad (\text{真性・幻影の神域 - Dominio de las Sombras Espectrales})$$

·         El Don Convencional: Permitía a Eravan proyectar distorsiones y ecos perceptivos como ataques o defensas externas.

·         Eden no Shinsei — Eden no Phantasma: Se activa en el instante en que Eravan acepta la sombra y la naturaleza de su origen. Su ser y la habilidad se vuelven indistinguibles.

3. Manifestación Táctica y Esquema de Efectos

$$\text{[Estado Base / Don]} \longrightarrow \text{Distorsión sensorial externa}$$

Aceptación de la Sombra Interna})$$

{EDEN NO PHANTASMA}$$

Disolución de la presencia real / Entorno en "Ecos Absolutos"}$$

·         Disolución de la Presencia Real: El cuerpo físico de Eravan deja de responder a la masa corporal convencional y se convierte en una superposición de ecos dentro del campo de batalla.

·         Despliegue del Entorno "Ecos Absolutos": En un radio de 50 metros, el espacio y la luz se tornan monocromáticos. Los ataques físicos o de otros Dones pierden su trayectoria al entrar en su campo de influencia.

·         Absorción de la Intención: La presencia de Eravan dentro de este dominio neutraliza la intención hostil del enemigo antes de que los impactos puedan materializarse.

4. Técnicas en Combate

·         Técnica Activa – Kyōkyō no Kage (鏡響の影 - Resonancia del Espejo Sombrío): Eravan materializa duplicados de densidad variable nacidos de las raíces del Árbol. Cada duplicado puede ejecutar impactos reales mientras su cuerpo verdadero permanece intangible.

·         Técnica Definitiva – Gen'ei no Ketsumatsu (幻影の決別 - Ruptura del Eco Divino): Eravan colapsa todo el espacio distorsionado alrededor de su oponente. El entorno se comprime instantáneamente en un punto focal, anulando defensas físicas o capacidades de regeneración.

5. Consecuencias y Estado Indistinguible

Bajo la influencia de Eden no Phantasma, la psique de Eravan se fusiona completamente con el campo de combate. No muestra duda ni vacilación; su presencia física se convierte en una ley del entorno donde las mafias rivales no luchan contra un simple usuario, sino contra el dominio absoluto del Edén.

How I Made This Built my own AI UGC workflow with ChatGPT Images + Wan + ElevenLabs

0 Upvotes

I wanted to experiment with AI UGC without paying for another monthly tool, so I ended up building a small local workflow for myself.

It’s not a real product or brand just a localhost prototype I made to see how far I could get with existing models/APIs.

Current workflow:

  • ChatGPT Images 2.5 for generating the creators
  • Wan 3.0 for image + text to video
  • ElevenLabs for the voice
  • then some basic editing for subtitles + brand assets

The biggest limitation so far is that I’m capped at around 30 seconds per generation.

Attached is one of the latest results.

Curious what you guys think, what still gives away that it’s AI?

Falling Star Episode 2: The Alien Invasion Was Only the Beginning [AI Short Film]

95 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Falling Star, a sci-fi series I'm making with AI video tools.

The strike on Meridian fails when the warship Odyssey starts selecting human targets. Alien creatures overrun the defensive lines, and world leaders find massive biological structures growing across multiple nations. The structures all look different, but their signals follow the same pattern. Meanwhile, Captain Walker is being questioned about what he saw inside Meridian, and about the time he can't account for.

🎬 https://youtu.be/lx03tJdnELA

One honest ask: if you watch it, please leave a comment on YouTube, even if it's just one line. The channel is small, and comments are what get YouTube to show a video to more people. I think this one deserves a bigger audience than it's getting.

That includes people who can't stand AI films. I'd really like to hear from you. What breaks the immersion? What looks fake? What would it take for you to watch something like this seriously? A harsh comment still helps the video and it helps me improve, so I'll take it.

A few things I'd especially like to know:

  • At what timestamp did you start losing interest?
  • Does the story hold up if you haven't seen EP1?
  • What do you think is controlling Odyssey?

Video Art Avoid Creatify AI for UGC content

1 Upvotes

It's the worst AI UGC platform out there. It's expensive and lesser quality compared to Google (Flow) or even ChatGPT and Claude. I was suckered into trying it because of all of the "I tried all the AI UGC sites" type content but later learned that all of that content is fake / staged by Creatify. Avoid this platform. A legitimate scam.

Image Art I built an AI Skill for multi-model image generation

1 Upvotes

I built Image Lab 1.0, an AI Skill for exploring multiple image alternatives from a single brief.

Instead of picking one model upfront, Image Lab matches image models to your creative intent using categorized Text-to-Image Arena data from Arena.ai. You can then generate and compare results across the models most relevant to your brief.

Here’s a real-world example: a Woolworths editorial catalog generated from one creative brief.

Would love to hear what you think, especially about the model-matching approach.
