Hollywood would spend 7 figures on this Odyssey scene.
@PJaccetturo and his studio made this pilot in 9 days, with 3,627 images, 3,043 videos, and generations costing $2,677.
Here’s their breakdown of how they did it 🧵

Imagine Video 1.5 launched last month as our best video model yet, with more lifelike motion and sound. Today it goes even further with text-to-video support, image and voice references, and native 1080p.
Yes, Claude’s great but when I ask it about wanting to do anything unusual, like becoming an expert on a topic fast, it starts by explaining why it’s unrealistic and lowers my expectations.
Grok just gives me the information it thinks I need.
Nothing valuable I’ve ever done started with thinking at length about “why it won’t work.”
It's really fun to direct a character's emotion in Grok Imagine.
All four of these videos are the same scene, the only thing that changes is the performance.
Detailed breakdown below.
One thing @heavypulp and I spent time on for this scene is skin texture.
The characters have been in the sun, their small fine lines, sweat, and skin oils should be showing.
Attention to these details adds to the beauty of the scene. No Hollywood budget needed.
A huge part of my work with model training teams are things you’d never notice an AI video getting wrong.
When a face turns in a video, how much should it blur? What do the eyes do mid-movement?
Comparing frame-by-frame against real 4K, 30fps footage helps in getting the smallest details right.
Obligatory X carousel below. Here for it.
Super helpful on a day-to-day: precisely change the color of any object in Grok Imagine.
Here, I used a HEX and a Pantone number. But you can easily use a reference image color or RGB code as well.
