Out There door E, "not the guy", made on base MiniMax H3 on our rented Vast boxes, 2026-11-08

This ad is 78 seconds long, made from 7 takes of one man in his parked car, every word from the locked door E script with his own generated voice.

The prompts came from our own writer, which copies the way fal writes prompts for H3 and asks for one continuous shot per take.

What the checks found

The full QA verdict is here: 6 fatal, 30 major, 31 minor, and four of the fatal lines are the framing change described above.

Render: 4 rented RTX PRO 6000 boxes, 29 minutes from rent to the last take, each box destroyed when it ran out of work.

Every version of the same take, 2026-11-08

All of these speak the same locked line and come from the same reference frame of the same man. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 were each generated separately, so each drew its own composition and gestures. Numbers 4 and 5 start from the exact file in number 1, so they differ from it only by what the upscaling step did.

Number 4 is the floor, because plain stretching invents nothing. Number 3 is what costs 2.85 times as much to generate.

1. What we run now

480 x 864 native · 400 s on one GPU · 1x

2. More sampling steps

480 x 864 native, 50 steps · 738 s · 1.85x

3. Full generation size

768 x 1344 native, 20 steps · 1,139 s · 2.85x

4. Number 1 plainly stretched

480 scaled up to 768, no AI · 4 s on the cut box · 1x plus pennies

5. Number 1 through Topaz

480 upscaled to 960 x 1728 on fal · 30 s · 1x plus the fal fee

6. Number 1 through SeedVR

480 upscaled to 960 x 1728 on fal · 1,588 s · 1x plus the fal fee

Numbers 5 and 6 both came back at 960 wide, which is larger than the native 768 in number 3, so they will look bigger on screen whether or not they recovered real detail. Judge them on the beard and the hand.
