Aerial view of Bag End hobbit home framed by radial motion blur

About this video

This whimsical fantasy shot centers on the iconic round yellow door of Bag End, the classic hobbit hole nestled under a lush grassy hill. Warm golden dawn light spills over rolling pastoral Shire farmland, with wispy morning mist rendered in a dramatic radial zoom blur effect. The mood is ethereal and magical, with bright sunlit green tones and soft drifting fog.

  Wow! I am very impressed. This is very cool. If you want to seperate the music generation from thie vid generation because, for example Suno is better for audio, you can download OpenShot for free. It is an open source video editor that is free to use or you can donate if you want to. It is fairly easy to learn. That way you can pair the music you like with the video you like; until director gets better. 52,000 is a lot of credits! But this is very amazing! I am very impressed. 2.5 hours is a lot but I've edited video that has taken me a week to do half this many shots so compared with video editing, it's very fast.

  Thank you very much! 😊 I was quoted a cost of approximately 20k for the project up to the editing stage, which seems about right (an additional 35k was spent on finalizing it in 1080p—an expense I could have saved myself in hindsight). The AI ​​originally intended to make a 58-second video, but I trimmed it down to 30 seconds, which allowed for some additional cost savings. The video model used is Seedance 2.5, and the image model is Nano Banana Pro.

  Thank you so much! 😊 The really expensive part—costing about 33,000 credits—was the final completion and conversion to 1080p right at the end. That’s something you could potentially handle using an external program instead. But I only just realized today that 10,000 of my credits are set to expire at the end of the week; I’d never paid attention to that before. 🤷

  Amazing job! Like the others I won't be able to partake. It told me it would cost 81k credits, I was floored when I saw that. Maybe they have different models for this too, although I don't remember seeing any.

  THAT is impressive, Chris!! Altough, not for me. It''s not for free users and even if it was, when I saw what it finally cost I almost had a stroke! 😃

• @TesaranJ · Nov 12, 2026

  interesting, i am curious too, but my plan cant use this feature. Did you create all the storyboard and cast? or did the director do it?

• @Sealine · Nov 12, 2026

  That came out really cool! I've thought about it, but I don't really have any ideas for a video worth spending the credits yet.

• @chris70 · Nov 12, 2026

  Thank you! 😊 The actual creation process "only" cost about 17,500 credits. What was really expensive was the final conversion to 1080p.

• @legion · Nov 12, 2026

  It doesn't look bad, though it also seems expensive to me. In any case, I can't use it anyway.😄

• @panos · Nov 12, 2026

  Yes, 720p isn't fit for this. (I believe that thing with the credits is a feature that started in recent months.)
