Filmmaking, visual experiments and thoughts on where this is all going.

The police car still throws red reflections across the road in the snowy version. @PolloAIJP's Recast/Kling 4.0 split screen makes the lighting change easier to judge.

Word timestamps are the bit I'd want for interview edits. @fal's Kotoba demo also shows Japanese text appearing alongside the translated audio waveform.

[fal @fal]

Kotoba’s speech APIs are now live on fal.

- Translates speech in real time with text and audio output
- Transcribes live audio as it streams
- Generates speech with preset voices
- Transcribes recordings with optional word timestamps

Pulling back to show both dancers makes the footwork much easier to read. @Dheepanratnam says this 30-second Seedance 2.5 sequence came from one image and a text prompt.

[Dheepan Ratnam @Dheepanratnam]

Did AI just reinvent global dance cinema? 🤯🌍

Bollywood meets East Africa in a 30-second continuous take using Seedance 2.5.

Visuals + synchronized vocal track generated entirely from 1 image and a text prompt.

The red-dirt footwork and magic hour lighting hold up ridiculously well.
What cultural mashup should I test next? 🎬✨

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

Those coloured CRT heads make the fighters easier to track across cuts. @baskojpeg says this 30-second, five-shot Kling 4.0 sequence came from one text-to-video generation.

[bsch @baskojpeg]

Testing Kling 4.0: 30 seconds of text-to-video in one generation.

Five CRT-headed gangsters fighting in a Tokyo alley. Testing multi-shot direction, fight choreography and character consistency across five shots.

The outfit, face close-up and three expressions are all on one sheet. That’s a useful little character reference from @pika_labs’ Character Studio example in ChatGPT.

[Pika @pika_labs]

Ask ChatGPT for a mascot and Character Studio delivers a full reference sheet, and saves them to your library, ready for their next shoot.

@theMadridZone The lineup for today’s match is pretty much finalised

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

Those yellow-and-blue hospital corridors really lean into the ’90s cartoon look. @BiEsEl_Games used Critical Ward’s Steam capsule art with Seedance for this promo, and says there are still mistakes.

[BiEsEl Games @BiEsEl_Games]

First time trying Seedance! I was curious how it worked, and THIS came out XD

I used Critical Ward's Steam capsules, asked for 90s animation, and threw in some Matrix references (a bit too obvious).

Plenty of mistakes, but Seedance did what it could. Really fun to make!

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

@MadridXtra @diarioas Unfortunately, the squad we’ll be fielding will lose 2–1

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

That split right through the dining room is a neat way to show two people drifting apart. @baskojpeg says this was made with Seedance 2.5 in Flova; the original is marked as a paid partnership.

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

Ending on the offered hand without showing the rescuer is a nice cut. @aiartmy made this short with Dreamina Seedance 2.5; the original is tagged #dreaminacpp.

ELARA — The Shore of Hope

The ocean took everything from her… but somehow, it gave her another chance.

Alone on an unknown shore, cold, exhausted, and afraid, Elara has only one thing left to hold on to — hope.

And just when she believes she can't take another step… something unexpected happens.

But who is reaching out to her? And what secrets lie beyond the shore? 🌫️

✨ Would you like to see where Elara's story goes next?

Let me know in the comments. Perhaps her journey is only beginning… ❤️

The last frame tells the story here: Kling 4.0 leaves a puddle, while Seedance 2.5 still has glass-like petals. @noel_ai_lab says this rose-to-water test used the same reference and prompt, one run each.

[のえる｜AI構築者 @noel_ai_lab]

うわっ、これ並べたら違いエグい！！！Kling 4.0とSeedance 2.5、どっちがどっちかわかる？？正解はリプ欄👇🏻

@Zinhja 🤝

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

@_su6an If you’re taking part, you must know a thing or two about football

@defcentral Just do this for one match if you lose, I promise I’ll never judge you again

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

@RMCFarab By magic

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

@MadridXtra For Mourinho, the real match is the press conference, not what happens on the pitch. That’s what he spends all his time preparing for. If you want to see coaches who actually focus on football, watch Arda Turan at Shakhtar Donetsk, Luis Enrique, or Simeone.

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

The glowing rings give this comparison plenty of bright detail. @itsArnz has put Runway Ruby’s HDR conversion beside the original AI clip; you’ll want an HDR display to judge it properly.

[arnie @itsArnz]

@runwayml ruby is amazing for generative video.

here is ruby's HDR video vs a normal ai video

A braid on a bald character. @Bending__ says they edited and zoomed in to work around the hair and outfit changes in this Seedance 2.5 shot.

[♀️Bending @Bending__]

To create a good AI movie, you also have to learn how to edit and improvise.

This was actually a scene I got from the first output, which I didn’t like because it was an entirely different video.

I had to edit the scene and even zoom in because she was wearing a different outfit, and somehow, she had a ponytail on a bald head. 😭😂

Even Seedance hallucinates!

[Tim Duran @durantimi]

The tight close-ups and heavy fur costumes make Stonefall feel properly lived-in. @Jiwww_a made this three-minute chapter with Seedance 2.5.

I like the green dress against that orange sunset. @cantonese_slang says this surf clip started with Higgsfield images, then used Grok for video generation and a Grok Bot for the edit.

The cut from the product demo to the two presenters eating together is a nice touch. @CrownsDezign says this AI-generated MAGGI Star concept draws on old Nigerian cooking shows.

[Adebola 👑 AI x Design @CrownsDezign]

Remember those Saturday evenings when we would sit in front of our TVs by 5 PM, watching cooking shows and commercials on AIT? 🇳🇬❤️

Those familiar kitchen settings, the presenters, and the warmth of Nigerian television. That nostalgia inspired this concept.

I recreated that feeling with an AI-generated MAGGI Star advert, blending a touch of old-school Nigerian television with modern AI video creation. Imagine the stories we can tell with AI! 🎬✨
