About This Title
I’ve been testing this for a few months now, and I think the results are quite good. New AI video-generation models, like Seedance 2.5, now give the user a great deal of control, allowing for plenty of creativity when directing scenes. In other words, we can make some cool stuff now.
Animations on Patreon firstFirst of all, I want to thank all the new subscribers who have joined thanks to the clips I previously shared on X—welcome! I hope you weren’t too disappointed to find mostly pictures instead of animations. To address this, future animations will be available exclusively on Patreon first for early-access subscribers, with a public release on X and DeviantArt following a month later.
Full-length animated series?Of course, the downside to this is the price; with Seedance 2.5, the cost per second of animation is high—especially when you go all-in. You might notice a difference in quality across these initial animations, particularly the 3D ones: the clips featuring Andy and Lena were created using the most affordable version of Seedance 2.5 I could find, whereas the 3D clip of Quiet was produced using the full version of the model, in all its glory—and at its full cost. This means that, even though it is quite feasible to do right now, a full animated series would be prohibitively expensive, so for the time being, we are limited to 30-second clips.
Seedance 3.0 rumorsTechnically, we could create a 30-minute clip using Seedance 2.5 by stitching together many 30-second segments—which is the maximum length the model can generate. However, my main concern—aside from the cost—would be the lack of consistency between the clips; for instance, characters might end up looking or sounding slightly different from one segment to the next, and I’m not a fan of that.
That’s why the rumors about Seedance 3.0 have me quite excited; people are saying the model can generate up to 18 minutes of footage without any loss in consistency—that’s wild! On top of that, they claim the cost per second will be lower than it was for Seedance 2.5 (which, to be honest, I find hard to believe). Of course, none of this is official, but even if they’re exaggerating, I’d be perfectly happy with 5 minutes of consistent footage.
In conclusionLet’s have some fun with this new tool; I want to follow the progress of these models, test them out, and bring you the results. Let’s see what we can make. ;D
