A Reddit user shared his AI filmmaking pipeline: in 2024 he had GPT-4o turn a nightmare into a short story, which he kept. This week he split the story into scenes, generated 100 seconds of footage with MiniMax H3 on Atlas Cloud (at $0.038/second, about $3.80 total), and edited it into a 72-second short that preserves the broken, jumpy feel of a dream. Screenshots of the original GPT-4o chat appear in the last 15 seconds. He adds that GPT-4o was a much better fiction writer than Astra.
