i built a way to generate full ai vlogs for youtube using seedance 2.5, without ever picking up a camera
this was supposed to stay internal but f*ck it, i'm leaking the whole thing
you give it a script or even just a topic and it comes back with a finished vlog, voiceover, b-roll, captions, ready to upload
here's how it works: a custom claude skill breaks your script into scenes and writes timestamped storyboard prompts for each one, matched to pacing so nothing feels random. those prompts get fed into seedance 2.5, using its 30 second continuous generation and reference asset support to keep the visuals consistent across scenes instead of looking like ten unrelated clips stitched together. then it pulls in an ai voiceover that matches the tone of the script, stitches every scene together, and burns in captions automatically
you're not filming, not voicing, not editing, not exporting from three different apps
the whole thing runs start to finish and outputs a finished 16:9 vlog ready to post, and it costs a fraction of what an editor or camera setup would run you
i'm sharing the full breakdown, which includes:
the claude skill that handles scene breakdown and storyboard prompts the seedance 2.5 setup that keeps visuals consistent scene to scene the voiceover setup that keeps it from sounding robotic the exact workflow from script to finished vlog
RT + reply "PROMPTS" and i'll send it over (must follow so i can dm)

Seedance 2.0 on higgsfield
Prompt:
A photorealistic smartphone selfie vlog that looks exactly like a real mobile phone recording. A young woman (image = her face and hair) visits a cozy thrift store on a sunny afternoon, filming everything herself with a handheld smartphone in selfie mode. The video features natural hand shake, realistic autofocus, slight exposure changes, authentic smartphone stabilization, and true-to-life colors. Smiling at the camera, she says, "Today's thrift store challenge—I'm only buying the first cute thing I find!" She walks through colorful racks of vintage clothes, shelves of accessories, plush toys, and home décor until she spots a random adorable oversized hat. Laughing, she immediately tries it on in front of a mirror, making funny poses and bursting into genuine laughter at how silly she looks. She decides to buy it, walks out of the store holding a small shopping bag, proudly shows her surprise find to the camera, smiles brightly, waves, and says, "See you in the next vlog. Bye!" before reaching toward the phone to stop the recording. The video should feel completely real with natural human movement, consistent facial features, realistic hand interactions, authentic thrift store lighting, no beauty filters, no CGI, no AI-plastic appearance, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark, and no background music—only real store ambience, footsteps, quiet conversations, clothing rustling, and natural environmental sounds.

Reminiscing on my convo with the
@stawpthattrain cast by listening to the songs that remind them of filming 🎶🚂
How did this camera filming beneath the Starship launch pad survive the massive heat generated by 33 Raptor engines?

Looking back at Marty Supreme, some of my favorite moments happened because things didn’t go exactly as planned. That’s the magic of filmmaking, you stay in the scene, adapt, and sometimes the mistakes become the best part of the movie.
Josh Safdie gave me one piece of advice before filming, don’t overthink it. Just read the room, put yourself in that moment, and be present. Working with Josh Safdie, Timothée Chalamet, and Gwyneth Paltrow taught me that great acting isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being fully present in the moment.

In 2016, 18-year-old Andrej Ciesielski secretly climbed the Great Pyramid of Giza with a GoPro, filming the whole thing.
Halfway up the 146-meter pyramid, police noticed him but he kept going, risking three years in jail. At the top, he enjoyed an amazing view before climbing down in 20 minutes.
When he got caught, officials made him delete his footage, but he later recovered it at home. Though illegal, he said the incredible experience and video were worth it.

china is not slowing down and this one is insane..
Chinese researchers just open-sourced SLAM3R, it rebuilds a full 3D scene from a single regular video, in real time. no LiDAR, no depth sensor, no camera rig. one phone-grade video in, a 3D world out.
> runs at 20+ FPS on a single GPU
> monocular RGB, just walk around filming
> feedforward neural net, no slow pose-optimization step
> beats optimization-based methods on reconstruction benchmarks
> handles long walkthroughs without drifting apart
what makes this work: older methods solve for camera position frame by frame, which is why they're slow. SLAM3R skips that and regresses the 3D geometry directly. that's how it hits real time.
100% free and open source:

Troy's (2004) centerpiece is the inevitable duel between Achilles and Hector, Troy's greatest warrior. Brad Pitt and Eric Bana performed the meticulously choreographed fight themselves without using any stunt doubles, rehearsing for months until every move became instinctive before filming.
In a 2004 interview, Pitt said about the accidental hits: "We made a deal with each other that we're just going to go for it. We decided that we would pay off for slight infractions 50 bucks and for major hits, if one of us clobbered the other, it would be 100 bucks."
Bana later showed a faint scar on the right side of his nose. "I've got a little Brad Pitt scar here," he said. "It's called a full-fledged backhand fist to the face. Luckily for us it was probably about 85 percent through that fight sequence because it does dull your confidence."
Asked how much he owed Bana after the six-day shoot, Pitt replied: "750."

Alexandra Daddario says she’s never had a problem filming nude scenes, as long as they serve the story.
“If it serves the role, is a great part, and a project I care about, then no, it doesn’t bother me to be nude on screen.”
“I never thought of myself as sexy.”
“I spent more time hiding my body than showing it.”
Daddario said filming intimate scenes was “never about me” but about the performance, adding that they were “hard and vulnerable,” yet ultimately “transformative.”
“I didn’t do the nude scenes because I felt bold or confident.”
“Those scenes were both hard and vulnerable… but that’s also what made it a challenge.”
