1 Character Setup

Do the same people need to appear and look consistent across every shot?

How many different people or characters appear? ?1 lead + 1 supporting = 2, for example. Leave at 0 if no recurring person needs to appear.

✓ Included in your ballpark above — we build in enough reference variety and 4 retakes of every image automatically.

Advanced settings

We generate 4 retakes of every reference image in our workflow — AI output varies shot to shot, so this gives us options to pick the cleanest, most consistent one. Already factored into your cost below.

Total number of character variations needed ?Auto-calculated as 5 per character. Raise or lower it if your project needs more or less variation — it stops following the character count once you edit it directly. Per character, this stays between 4 (minimum) and 8 (maximum).

Character setup cost (incl. 4 retakes each) 0 credits

2 Scene & Location Setup

Every distinct setting — room, garden, restaurant, car, studio, etc.

How many different shots or locations do you need? ?Bedroom + garden + restaurant + car + studio = 5. We shoot each from multiple angles automatically — no need to pad this number yourself.

✓ Included in your ballpark above — every setup is shot from 3 angles (wide, mid, tight) with 4 retakes of each, so we can pick the best one.

Advanced settings

Every shot/location is generated from 3 camera angles (wide, mid, tight), and we run 4 retakes of each angle in our workflow — for framing, motion, and consistency reasons. Already factored into your cost below.

Resolution

Total generations ?Shots/locations × 3 angles (wide, mid, tight) × 4 retakes each. 0

Scene cost (incl. 3 angles & 4 retakes each) 0 credits

3 Video Length

Only if your project includes video.

Roughly how long should the finished video be, in seconds? ?We generate in 15-second blocks, rounded up to the nearest 5 — 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30…

✓ Included in your ballpark above — 3 retakes of every video segment are generated so we can pick the best cut.

Advanced settings

We generate 3 retakes of every video segment in our workflow — video generation is more prone to motion glitches and on-screen text errors, so this gives us room to pick the cleanest take. Already factored into your cost below.

Video cost (incl. 3 retakes each) 0 credits

4 Standalone Images (optional)

Posters, packaging, or marketing stills, outside the film itself.

How many hero/key images do you need? ?E.g. 3 poster concepts. Leave at 0 if you don't need any. Each gets the standard backup-take buffer.

✓ Included in your ballpark above — 4 retakes of every image are generated so we can pick the best one.

Advanced settings

We generate 4 retakes of every hero/key image in our workflow — the same reasoning as character work: AI output varies, so this gives us options to pick the strongest, most client-ready one. Already factored into your cost below.
