Cinematic AI videos for a real Toronto charity. Sharing exact workflows: Seedance · Kling · Veo · Claude. $50 production, $5K look.

Oppenheimer was their last movie

Seedance 2.5 released. It looks insane! Still trying to figure out where Veo 4 is and why nothing comes close to Seedance

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

a year ago this charity film would've cost $5,000 and a three-person crew.

last week I made it for $50, alone, in an afternoon.

the exact stack:
→ script + shot list — Claude
→ character anchor — one locked reference frame
→ motion — Seedance 2.0 (image-to-video)
→ b-roll — Kling 3.0
→ grade + cut — DaVinci

the budget didn't shrink. the floor moved.

@creatorslop curious why Kling 2.0 over 3.0 for cinematic — did the new version actually get worse on controlled camera moves?

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

@MarkAIbuilder the character-survives-the-cut point is the real one. pretty frames don't matter if the face resets every shot.

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

@UniverseIce so now Seedance handles video and SeedMusic handles the score. ByteDance is building the whole production pipeline inside one ecosystem.

@shushant_l cheaper iteration is underrated. most of the quality jumps I've gotten came from running 20 variations, not prompting better.

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

@ZentrixHQ step 1 is the one most people skip — generating a character anchor before the scene. fixed more consistency issues for me than any prompt tweak.

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

@techhalla the bar for "looks impossible" keeps moving. six months ago this would've been a $30K VFX shot.

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

@venturetwins the interesting part isn't the quality — it's that the concept loop (imagine product → generate ad → build it) now works in one afternoon. charity filmmakers are doing the same thing with donation campaigns.

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

@mingli0x the multi-shot planning inside a single workspace is the piece I've been waiting for — jumping between Notion, Seedance, and CapCut for every project is friction that kills momentum.

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

🇯🇵 Can someone explain this to us please?

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

Photoshop just absorbed the AI stack.
Higgsfield's new plugin lives inside Photoshop:
→ Sketch → finished image, in real time, any style
→ Any photo → broken back into editable layers
→ Restyle anything by preset or prompt

The era of jumping between 5 tabs to make one image is over.

@PolymarketSport its me

Cloud AI just lost its only remaining advantage: price.
AMD's new local AI box:
→ 200B parameters, fully offline
→ 128GB unified memory (CPU + GPU + NPU shared)
→ Bigger than GPT-3, no internet required
→ Fits in your hand

$3,999 once. ~$16/month in power.
Cloud equivalent: up to $750/month.

The math just broke.

For years Anthropic argued its AI was too dangerous to go unregulated.
So the White House said: fine — patch the hole in Claude Fable 5, or pull it.
Anthropic refused. The model got blocked — with its own argument turned against it.
Anthropic’s reply: GPT-5.5 does the exact same thing, no jailbreak required.

[Denys | Cinematic AI @DBuhtij]

Bypassing the safety on Anthropic’s newest model didn’t take a clever jailbreak.
You just asked Claude Fable 5 to “check this code for bugs” — and it handed back exploitable security vulnerabilities.
The company that flagged it to the White House? Amazon. The same Amazon that poured billions into Anthropic.
Within 24h: the findings went to the NSA, the threat was deemed real, Amodei was on the phone defending it to the Treasury Secretary — and the model got pulled.
Both sides still don’t agree on what happened: the White House says it “begged for hours” to fix it together. Anthropic says it got 90 minutes and zero details.
