Always Generating(@notiansans):Just because something takes more time doesn’t mean it’s more good. Just because something takes less time doesn’t mean it’s less good. If a great idea can be brought to life with only $9 and 10 min, so be it. Doesn’t make the idea any worse. Just because the person said out loud how long it took and how much it cost doesn’t make their idea any less impactful. I’ve seen absolute garbage movies that were months over schedule and millions of dollars over budget. I’ve also seen classic films that were micro budgets in comparison and literally shaped culture. My take: just make the things you want to make. If it costs more or less, that’s irrelevant. What matters is if YOU enjoy making it, and bonus points if others enjoy it too.

This film (rough cut) cost 10k in credits (minus labor costs and updates) and took about 3 weeks to make. I am getting sick of these cost £9 and took 7 minutes to make videos. Even me posting that I took 3 weeks to create a 43 minute film I feel weird posting, but it was real for me, because I posted everyday and people saw what I was doing. I posted mistakes and told you what I was having issues with. Let's try not to lessen the industry further but putting weird expectations of price and cost on the internet when it comes to AI. Especially when it costs over £9 to generate a seedance video. You are hurting people in the industry that are professionally working in this field. That are trying to explain that taste, experience, and skills are not priced on AI credits.
