NIGHTBORNE is the first full test AI film I have made. It was made using Seedance 2.0. I've been experimenting with AI for a couple of years, and it's now at the point where I want to tackle a full feature in this format. This is a 13-minute test start.

The next paragraph is titled "Cutting", and says "Cutting the PCB went unexpectedly well. The device booted up immediately and everything seemed to work. Turns out there really were no crucial lines going through those areas of the PCB."
