AI filmmaker's $10k three-week feature sparks debate over '9-dollar 7-minute video' narratives
notiansans · x · 2026-09-14
An AI filmmaker revealed their rough cut of a 43-minute film cost about $10k in generation credits and took three weeks, pushing back against viral "$9 in 7 minutes" videos that they argue set harmful expectations and hurt professionals—since a single seedance generation costs more than $9.
notiansans countered: time and budget don't determine quality. Great ideas realized for $9 and 10 minutes aren't diminished, just as over-budget flops and micro-budget classics both exist. The take: just make what you want to make—enjoying the process is what matters.
