Three-minute single-take short film Dōkyō

DŌKYŌ: A Three-Minute-Long Single-Take Short Film Made with AI We can agree that Bytedance Seedance 2.0 totally changed how people create videos. Omni mode enabled faster creation of short films, solo creators making feature-length films, and you can create a 15-second commercial in one shot with a single prompt. But it also opened the door to long, continuous takes, which were not possible. Usually the length of a generated clip is limited to 8–15 seconds. Of course some people tried to cheat around this limitation by doing last frame first frame generation and stitching, but it breaks the camera movement and the pace of the actions. With Seedance, it was very different: instead of fighting the engine I was able to think about what I would like to see, instead of what are the limitations. I planned the framing, the camera movement, the action, and built the three-minute sequence step by step. Of course, this means if you later realize that something is wrong three or four sections earlier, you have to redo everything that follows. Visually, I wanted to maintain a very cinematic, low contrast, grainy, soft look, siilar to an expired 8mm or 16mm film, so there was no upscaling, rather the opposite: softening the image in every possible way. #DreaminaCPP @dreamina_ai
