Jason Silva, former Brain Games host, made The Dervish, a 25-minute psychedelic film set in the 1960s, in five days with no budget, credited with Vine co-founder Rus Yusupov. His workflow: riff each scene into speech-to-text, have a language model turn the riff into a shot-by-shot list, then feed it to a video model via the Director tool. The film follows a young man from Woodstock through swinging London, Paris, Goa and beyond with almost no dialogue.
