The problem, priced
A 90-second film, forty takes a shot
Point a flagship model at a screenplay and you pay for every failed take at flagship rates. Nobody publishes that number, so here it is — measured, not estimated.
| Stage | Naive | Reelcodex |
|---|---|---|
| Casting & reference stills | — | $1.03 |
| Exploration takes | $806.40 | $20.52 |
| Final takes | included above | $26.46 |
| 4K master | $14.48 | $14.48 |
| Total generation cost | $820.88 | $62.49 |
36 shots at 5s. Exploration at 480p, finals at 1080p, one 4K pass over the full cut. A 90-second film runs about $25.
Why it works
Your cast is a saved object, not a paragraph
Describe a character in prose and every shot returns a different person — we measured it: identical prompts, visibly different faces, and the distinguishing details in the description simply ignored.
So a Codex holds the real thing. A locked reference still, its seed, and the model that made it. Every shot in the project draws from it, and the resemblance holds through a change of angle, expression, lighting, or location.
Exploration then runs on a cheap model at a tenth the price, because you are checking framing and movement, not faces. Finals run once, on the prompt you already approved.
Measured, not promised
What we put through it
- PASSSame face across angle, expression and a full change of lighting and location

- PASSHands: five fingers, correct sleeve, reaching and gripping an object
- PASSRising from a chair, and walking across a room in full frame
- PASSDialogue with lip movement synced to the audio track
- PASSTrue 4K master, 3840×2160 at 24fps
Nine generations, zero technical failures, $4.29 spent. Our cost table came within 0.5% of what the vendor actually billed.
