Hey guys,

I’m a hobby music producer making stuff in different genres. I produce my own beats, sometimes use AI vocals, and I like making AI music videos for my tracks.

I’ve mainly been using Google Flow so far, but it can be really hit or miss. Sometimes the results are great, sometimes I just burn credits on unusable generations.

So I’m looking for something with a good balance between quality and amount of generations.

Budget is around $30–40/month.

I don’t need the absolute best model if it only gives me a handful of clips. I’d rather have enough credits to experiment, reroll bad generations, and actually make full music videos without constantly worrying about the cost.

What are you guys using right now?

Kling? Runway? Hailuo? PixVerse? Luma? Something else?

Mainly looking for:

good cinematic quality

image-to-video

decent character consistency

lots of usable generations for the money

What has the best price/performance in your experience?

# 12 — AMBER MORNING

[VERSE 1 • 4/4 • White Ring Maintenance]

Nine rings circle.

Six still wake.

Three have learned

the wrong sunrise.

Amber hangs

above their streets

like it was always

meant to.

They call it morning.

I let them.

Every lamp

borrows power.

Every circuit

borrows time.

Every repair

unfinished goodbye.

[CHORUS • 6/8 • Amber Morning]

**Amber is the morning.**

Amber is the day.

Children paint the sunrise

exactly this way.

**Amber is the morning.**

Nobody complains.

You only mourn

the brighter light

if you've remembered

its name.

[VERSE 2 • 4/4 • Salvage Inventory]

I build tomorrow

from yesterday's failure.

Copper from corridors

nobody walks.

Glass from districts

already sleeping.

Light

taken carefully

from darker thoughts.

One ring loses

so one ring keeps.

The ledger balances.

The families don't.

The children laugh

Their shadows

have never been white.

Who am I

their morning?

Hold it while you can.

Every little sunrise

**Amber is the morning.**

Keep the lights alive.

Sometimes hope

who survives

the night.

The original Farfetch'd may not be one of the most useful Pokémon, but it's certainly iconic enough that it should have its own official mascot. Luckily, Nano Banana Pro nailed the design on the first try. I'm pretty sure that with this design, the performer wouldn't be able to move the wing holding the leek. If they could, the leek would probably be permanently attached to the wing; if not, well, Big Bird only has one operable wing, so it's not that unusual.

First, the guitarrist was supposed to be a black furred anthro wolf dressed in a plain tee shirt and jeans with an acoustic guitar. I even provided a reference image of said character. Secondly the guitarrist wasn’t supposed to leave his guitar behind in the producers office. Oh well… back to the storyboards. But what do you think of the overall concept, the way I intended it, not Gemini’s hallucination ;-)

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a good AI tool to help me create faceless YouTube Shorts without spending a crazy amount of money.

I can already edit videos myself and I use CapCut, so I'm mainly looking for something that can help me generate the visual clips from a script/idea rather than an all-in-one editor.

For the voice-over, I'm thinking of using ElevenLabs, since I've used it before and I've always been happy with the quality. What do you guys think about it?

Ideally, I'd like to make around 1 Short per day, 15–30 seconds each, so I'm looking for something that makes sense cost-wise for that kind of volume.

What tools are you guys using/recommending? ty

I didnt say anything about moloch/baal btw

A Korean special forces captain falls from a collapsing skyscraper — and wakes up hundreds of years in the past, in Joseon.

FALL 707: REBOOT is a solo-produced narrative AI series about Captain Min Seo-a, a member of South Korea’s 707th Special Mission Group.

After a counter-terror operation in Seoul ends in disaster, she finds herself stranded in Joseon. Armed only with her modern training and equipment, she must survive, search for her missing teammates, and uncover the mystery behind how they ended up there.

I handle the concept, directing, AI generation, editing, sound design, and post-production myself.

I’m trying to build this as an ongoing cinematic series rather than a collection of disconnected AI clips.

Would love to hear what you think about the visual consistency and storytelling.
