A young man with a face that’s a mixture of Timothée Chalamet in Dune and Logan Lerman in Percy Jackson flashes a confident smile and summons an axe. An army of wooden vines, spiky and lethal-looking, twist and intertwine to form a wolf. With a deadly howl, the wolf charges forward. The male lead, with amazing speed and dexterity, leaps among the deadly tangle of vines and starts chopping through them, each strike creating a bolt of lightning like Thor’s hammer.
And thus begins the epic opening sequence of the vertical micro-drama, The Wolfless Carpenter Rules the World. Only five months ago, creating scenes of this magnitude would have been impossible to even imagine. Everything—from the budget to finding the right locations and navigating safety concerns, to actor training, filming, computer-generated imagery (CGI), and post-production—would have presented insurmountable challenges. Today, however, with AI video generation models such as Seedance, all it takes is a couple of well-written prompts and, of course, as many tokens as necessary. In just a few minutes, you can have something approaching a Hollywood-level production, which is exactly what I’ve been doing for the past few months.
