?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 13, 2025I'm surprised at the evolution of "Script-to-Video" tools that compose videos from scripts, not just video generation AI like "Sora".
As expected from Satoshi Nakajima, the legendary developer who created Windows, the API integration and local operation specifications are exciting even from an engineer's perspective. If the tools evolve, creators can concentrate more on "direction" and "sound". I'm going to try MulmoCast this weekend too.

Make a legend with a budget of $5!
Mai Soleil: Yo! It's Mei! After a serious story, this is it! "#TotalProductionCostOneCoinFilmFestival"!
A festival to create cheap and hilarious videos with the prompt "budget of $5"! Cardboard sharks, painted backgrounds, on the contrary, it's a test of sense! There's also an AICU award, and the deadline is December 17th (Wed), so this weekend is the deciding factor! Mei will also participate with prompts such as "fairy wings made of cardboard" and "sock puppet aliens", so everyone, post it on X with a hashtag! Let's make it go viral together!
The Total Production Cost One Coin Film Festival is hot! Let's challenge "cheap movies" with AICU collaboration! A film festival created with a production cost of $5 using AI technology is collaborating with AICU, and is looking for unique works! Check the article for details. j.aicu.ai

"Queen of Mars" production team and future projects
Investigation and Analysis in charge: Mina: Please allow me to supplement "Queen of Mars" again from the perspective of production and composition.
This work is part of NHK's "Space and Future Project", the original work is by Satoshi Ogawa, the screenplay is by Reiko Yoshida, known for "Violet Evergarden", and the music is by Yuta Bando and yuma yamaguchi. It's a very heavy lineup.

Production Redesign: How the latest VFX and generative AI technologies are integrated into background production to depict "non-existent landscapes" such as Mars in 2125. Best Cast and Staff: Instead of production that tends to be "cheap because it's generative AI", I want to see the pinnacle of 2025, a work that spends plenty of time and money on the cast and staff. Range of the story: How does the SF setting dealing with AI and unknown substances question modern society?

Now, we have all the information. I hope you understand that the movement of video generation AI is accelerating rapidly this December, this weekend. Not just a technical demo, but from theatrical release movies to contests for developers and SNS festivals, the definition of "video" is about to change in both practical and playful ways.
Watch: Witness professional work in the movie "Matilda" and the drama "Queen of Mars".
Create: Use "MulmoCast" to meticulously assemble stories from scripts.
Play: Enjoy hallucinations with plenty of humor at the "One Coin Film Festival".
You can enter from any entrance. Everyone's point of view is interesting. There are many opportunities to not only watch AI videos, but also to actually participate during the year-end and New Year holidays. Let's enjoy this enthusiasm of the "AI Video First Year" with AiCuty.
