An indie filmmaker who started with Disco Diffusion shares a 35-second walking/tracking AI shot (a sci-fi scene of a technician walking through a server corridor), pushing past the typical 15-second generation limit.

Workflow details: rendered at 1.6 MP, 20 steps with Singularity; two 5-panel reference images (left/right profile, 3/4 views, front) lock the character's face and body separately; rendered on RunPod's RTX Pro 6000 (96 GB VRAM, $2.49/hr) using a custom patched SageAttention — stock SageAttention causes "brown snow" artifacts at certain sizes; finished in DaVinci Resolve with AI Superscale 4X, color correction, noise reduction, and film grain. He also describes a two-stage setup: prep locally on an RTX 3070 Ti, render on cloud GPUs.
