 Sony Pictures achieved 25% post-production time reduction using Runway Gen-4, and 300+ studios adopted enterprise plans at $15,000/year, demonstrating production cost collapse is accelerating through specific capability unlocks like character consistency

+2026 production cost data shows 97-99% cost reduction for short-form narrative content ($75-175 for 3-minute AI short vs. $5,000-30,000 traditional). This calibrates the cost decline trajectory with specific 2026 data points. The 90-second clip limit means feature-length production still requires human direction and stitching, confirming that long-form remains the outstanding technical threshold.

 Runway claims there is a collection of short films made entirely with Gen-4 to test the model's narrative capabilities. These will be visible from AIF 2026 winners announced April 30, 2026. This provides the first public evidence of whether character consistency claims translate to actual multi-shot narrative coherence in practice.

+
+Seedance 2.0 demonstrates deployed character consistency across camera angles with no facial drift, maintaining exact physical traits across shots. This is a production-ready feature as of Q1 2026, not theoretical. The tool outperforms Sora specifically on character consistency as its clearest differentiator. Remaining limitations are micro-expressions/performance nuance and long-form coherence beyond 90-second clips.

+# Seedance
+
+**Type:** AI video generation model  
+**Developer:** ByteDance  
+**Domain:** Entertainment / AI production tools  
+**Status:** Active (deployed)
+
+## Overview
+
+Seedance is ByteDance's AI video generation model designed for narrative content production. Version 2.0, released February 2026, represents a breakthrough in character consistency and temporal coherence for AI-generated video.
+
+## Key Capabilities (v2.0, February 2026)
+
+- **Character consistency across camera angles**: Maintains exact physical traits from any camera angle across shots, solving the "AI morphing" problem
+- **90-second video clips** with native audio synchronization and cross-scene continuity
+- **Phoneme-level lip-sync** across 8+ languages
+- **4K resolution** output
+- Outperforms competitors (including Sora) specifically on character consistency
+
+## Technical Limitations
+
+- Micro-expressions and performance nuance cannot yet replicate human actor movements
+- Long-form coherence limited to 90-second clips; feature-length narrative requires human direction and stitching
+- Fine-grained creative direction beyond prompts remains limited
+
+## Deployment
+
+Seedance 2.0 capabilities deployed via Wan 2.7 on Mootion platform (April 15, 2026), making character-consistent AI video production accessible to independent creators.
+
+## Timeline
+
+- **2026-02** — Seedance 2.0 released by ByteDance with character consistency breakthrough
+- **2026-04-15** — Wan 2.7 deployed on Mootion platform, making Seedance 2.0 capabilities accessible to creators
