I've been working on this Claude Code pipeline for making 10-minute movies, gluing together Seedance (videogen), Nano Banana (image gen), and ElevenLabs (voice gen), and using Claude as the director. My repo contributes a markdown playbook and a worked example which should make it easier for other people to make their own short movies. A first-pass movie takes around 2.5 hours of wall clock time and costs around $200, and iterating is easy thanks to intermediate artifacts like storyboards and voice samples.
Its going to cost a lot more than $200 once LLM subsidies run out.

Epoch AI estimates that LLM costs are falling by over 10x per year at fixed intelligence https://epoch.ai/data-insights/llm-inference-price-trends, so I expect prices to fall at this level of quality.
I also think there's a good division of labor here where you can use the smartest model to write the script and prompts, and then use a cheaper model for all the glue work and minor revisions that trigger the tool calls.

appreciate the pipeline. it's interesting to read the steps, see the outcome, and know about the costs/time.
