I keep seeing completely different opinions on Seedance 2.5.
Some people say the longer generation, reference control and character consistency are much better. I was going back to 2.0 because 2.5 costs MORE, gets softer during fast motion and seems stricter with prompts.

So far it sounds like 2.5 might be better because of the upgrades in funtions, while 2.0 may still be better for fast action or when you need more generations for the same budget.

For people who have used both, what kind of shots are you choosing 2.5 for? If I want to use 2.5 instead, which platform is the cheapest option based on your calculation?

Seen few posts about a “white model challenge” on Instagram.

From what I can tell, people start with a basic untextured 3D scene that already has the blocking, character movement and camera path, then use AI to turn it into a finished video.
Is everyone supposed to use the same white model clip, or is the idea just to create your own scene from a rough 3D reference?

And does anyone know if there’s a prize or cash award for the winners?

my booking situation is a disaster and i think i finally need a real app for it 😅 right now it's just DMs and a messy spreadsheet and i keep almost double booking gigs.

want something that does booking/calendar, and tracks my orders. starting small, might grow it later.

anyone here worked with a dev or agency in LA you'd recommend? also curious what this kind of thing runs cost wise
