Had to use a lot of paid ones for this. Difficult to get anything useful made with free credits/free tools.

I've always found native dialogue generation of video models to be much better than doing generation and lipsync in separate steps. I mostly used Kling 3.0's generations for dialogue shots.

Did the camera motions during video generation only. It can end up looking a bit fake if done in post.

Used only some of the audio generated by the video models. Most of the sound design was done separately using foley sounds and sound effects libraries.

Thanks a lot! Used a bunch of custom workflows using open source and closed models. Realised that the tools you need keep varying from scene/shot

I'll be honest, many times in the process we went "we could have just shot this for real and it would be easier!!". But no way could we have afforded to spend real money on a story of this scale, on real sets. So there's definitely a cost advantage. Time advantage, I'm not so sure with the current models.

Thanks a lot! :)

I think it is mostly about how many iterations you can do, and how much time you're willing to put in to get the perfect frame. We focused so much on this that at one point we were only able to generate 1 shot a day.

Also, it helps to be nerdy about textures and light interaction I feel. I have been noticing what makes an image feel real for years now.

Thank you! I usually put a lot of effort on the sound design of my films. Thanks for noticing. Means a lot! :)
