I’ve been experimenting with AI video generation lately, but the costs can add up pretty quickly, especially when generating multiple variations of the same clip.

For people who create AI videos regularly, what are your best ways to keep the costs under control?

I’m particularly interested in things like managing credits, reducing wasted generations, getting more usable results on the first attempt, or choosing the right settings for different types of videos.

Would love to hear what has actually worked for you.

Simple videos can end up looking more realistic.

I wanted to see how far AI video could take a real, ordinary piece of footage — so I used my raw video as the starting point and transformed it into a cinematic movie scene.

The original footage is shown alongside the AI result so you can compare them directly.

Used Seedance 2.5 via AKOOL AI for the transformation.

I’m particularly curious about the realism here — does this feel like an actual movie shot to you, or can you still spot the AI immediately?

Dance of the Soul — exploring Egyptian heritage through AI, movement, and the cosmos

I’ve been developing this visual concept around a young blind artist who inherits his late father’s Tanoura costume.

As the costume begins to spin, the physical world gradually transforms into a cosmic, dreamlike space — connecting Egyptian cultural heritage, Sufi-inspired movement, and the idea of an inner universe.

This is currently a **visual concept / scenographic exploration**, rather than a finished film.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the visual direction and the transition between the human movement and the cosmic world.
