Shanghai 16-year-old makes Hachiko short with GPT-6 Astra and Seedance
A 16-year-old borrowed $45 from his grandmother and used GPT-6 Astra for shot lists and Seedance for rendering to make a 27-second Hachiko clip that drew 8.26 million plays.
A 16-year-old kid from Shanghai borrowed $45 from his grandmother without telling what it was for. His 27-second Hachiko clip had 8,260,000 plays by then. He has wanted to direct films since he was 12. His idea was pretty simple: the man Hachiko waited 9 years for finally walks back onto the platform. The whole script is 6 lines of dialogue. The last one is "You don't have to wait anymore." > GPT-6 Astra turned those 6 lines into a shot list that opens on the dog's face. > Seedance rendered the platform and held the Akita's markings steady through every cut. > Make sent it to Douyin, TikTok and Shorts before his alarm went off. Hachiko's platform stayed empty for 9 years. His took 27 seconds to fill. The next ending on his list is Laika's capsule coming home. His whole setup is in the article 👇
