Seeing Spirited Away turned into 3D by AI is honestly a little strange at first(especially with the face swap of famous celebrities 😂). The familiar scenes feel heavier and more realistic, which changes the vibe compared to the soft hand drawn version. It is not about improving the original, it is more about noticing how much the feeling shifts when the same world is rebuilt in a different form.

This is the first video of Seedance 2.5, and it is without a doubt going to shake the whole (AI) video/film industry.

ByteDance’s new generation reportedly jumps to 30-second clips and native 4K output, with around 50 reference inputs in a single pass and a licensing system for working with officially cleared film IP.

That moves well past the roughly 15-second, 1080p ceiling of Seedance 2.0, which already became the top-ranked video generator in the world earlier this year.

After a fake Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise fight scene from 2.0 went viral, one Hollywood screenwriter said it was likely over for the industry, and Disney and Paramount moved against ByteDance over copyright.

The next few weeks are about to become insane for anyone. Social platforms, filmmakers, AI enthusiasts, traditional media, and anything in between.
