From idea to finished video: 8 scenes, 4 models, $8.46
A complete production breakdown of Vini Episode #4: one idea becomes eight scenes and then a
finished 1:12 vertical video. Inside the same project I compare Seedance, Gemini Omni Flash,
Kling, and Nano Banana, including both the usable takes and the failures — from the wrong hat to
a rocket launching inside the apartment.
The project estimate shown in the recording is $8.46, or roughly $15 including reshoots and
retries. The central point is not “one click”: one person makes a decision on every shot, while
the graph preserves the whole path from Storyboard Sheet through music, assembly, and hands-on
decoration.

Vini Studio: how I make viral AI videos for $12
Everything in the video, from the first idea to the finished clip with music, subtitles, and a
cover, was assembled inside Vini Studio. This is not a linear CapCut or Premiere timeline. It is
a canvas where characters, Elements, and prompts live in a library, models can be switched per
shot, and ideas can run in parallel. The walkthrough covers the whole pipeline in one window:
library → scene generation across several models → montage → music timed to the edit → subtitles
→ decoration → cover and tags. It also gives the honest total: roughly $12 for the video shown.

The same characters across AI videos: Elements and references (Sheriff Potato, episode 2)
The central problem in AI video is keeping the same characters from shot to shot. Using the
second episode of “Sheriff Potato,” I show the system of reusable Elements (references) built
into the node editor.

I got tired of paying for AI video, so I built my own system. Starting from zero
Where it started: why ordinary AI generators become expensive for a creator, and how I built
a node-based production pipeline where every step is visible and you pay only for what you
actually regenerate. A ground-up walkthrough from an idea to a finished vertical video.
