    Speaking of cost .. how much did it cost? 3 Euro for Black Forest, but what about "1-2 hours rendering time on an H100 GPU). We let it run over night on 2 H100s (15 GPU hours in total)"?

      Good point! I should have mentioned that I have free access to an H100 cluster.

        Heh, that certainly helps keep costs down (for you) :)

    Nice work! Thanks for the detailed description.

    My daughter (4yo) and I have been making small animated videos from her Lego creations. We use Runway. She typically gets bored with it after 5-10 minutes, though.

    Which part did your daughter enjoy the most?

    • chris_sandor20 hours ago
      You are welcome!

      I think she enjoyed most: Storyboarding with Kontext & selecting the best clips

    Self forcing is really bad and deteriorates video quality a lot. Dont recommend unless your "job" is extremely simple, like "the character smiles and then turns around"

    Very cool. Since Veo 3 launched with the audio generation stuff it is now the norm to spend ~30 minutes making videos with my niece and nephew when I see them which is relatively often. My niece in particular understood prompting immediately.

    So many people lately taking the shortcut of using this place solely to advertise their projects which themselves are shortcuts taken to sidestep real work and creation.
