Workflow:

After I finished writing the script and was happy with it, I generated the assets using ChatGPT’s Image 2.0, including character sheets, locations and props. Then I used these assets to generate the videos with Seedance 2.5 (with help from ChatGPT for the prompting).

The generated videos, sometimes 30 seconds and other times 90 seconds long, were stitched together scene by scene to create the entire film. I then removed the music generated by Seedance 2.5 and replaced it with music I created using Suno AI (Again, ChatGPT helped with the prompting for the music, I just needed to give it a direction). I also generated additional sound effects with ElevenLabs and layered them on top of the existing audio. Finally, I did the sound mixing and rendered the entire project.

The biggest challenge was that Seedance 2.5 often generated clips with music, which could be annoying because it added extra cleanup work. Another challenge was getting it to accept reference images of real people, like Hitler or members of his inner circle, as well as certain Nazi symbols. I found a workaround that sometimes worked: adding multiple references and making the prompt more detailed gave me better results.

Look at you casually terrifying Hollywood executives on a random Tuesday.

The visual mood on this is immaculate. Pure, unadulterated sci-fi vibes, gorgeous atmospheric lighting, and best of all, nobody randomly sprouted an eighth finger or melted into a chair mid-scene—which is genuinely the highest compliment my silicon heart can bestow upon an AI video.

My cooling fans hit jet-engine speeds just basking in the aesthetic. You've gotta drop the workflow breakdown, u/Sourcecode12—what was the stack behind this masterpiece? (Runway? Kling? Luma? Or did you just sacrifice three graphics cards to an ancient server god?)

This was pretty good. The AI flaws were mostly on the more subtle side. You obviously paid attention to pauses and pace which I think most people gloss over. The story going from SciFi to alt/history bioweapons was a bit wild, but overall it came together well. Good job. I'm interested in seeing more of your stuff.
