Your support makes a difference
Funding Isekai no Meta: Remastered, an AI-assisted anime adventure following Ayumi Tanaka's journey through a fantasy world.
The goal of this campaign is simple:
Help fund the production of Isekai no Meta: Remastered.
I'm not a studio with employees, investors, or a production budget.
I'm one person working a full-time job, creating films during evenings, weekends, lunch breaks, and whatever free time I can find.
The biggest cost of this project is not cameras, actors, or locations.
It's AI generation credits.
How The Film Is Made
Most of the animation for Isekai no Meta: Remastered is created using Runway and Seedance 2.0.
Seedance 2.0 is currently the primary tool I use to generate the Japanese animation style that gives the project its anime-inspired look.
The challenge is that every second of generated footage costs credits.
A single 15-second clip in Seedance 2.0 costs approximately:
For comparison, my Runway Unlimited subscription provides approximately 2,240 credits per month.
That means generating just a handful of high-quality shots can consume a significant portion of my monthly allowance.
Runway's Explore Mode helps reduce generation costs dramatically, but there is a trade-off. Generations can take several times longer to complete and usually require more attempts before achieving a usable result.
In practice, filmmaking with AI often means generating, reviewing, adjusting, regenerating, and repeating the process until the shot finally works.
What Your Donation Does
Your donation does not buy luxury equipment.
It does not pay a salary.
It does not fund an office.
Instead, it helps purchase additional AI generation credits so more footage can be created, tested, improved, and completed.
At the time of writing:
Even 1,000 additional credits is not enough to generate two 15-second Seedance clips at 1080p.
Every completed scene represents many generations, many failed attempts, and many hours of experimentation.
Why It Matters
I will complete Isekai no Meta: Remastered regardless.
The project is already in production.
The question is not whether it gets finished.
The question is how quickly I can create it and how much footage I can afford to iterate on before reaching my monthly limits.
Every donation helps remove a little of that bottleneck and allows me to spend more time creating and less time waiting for credits to replenish. Every person who donates will be thanked in the short films end credits.
Other Ways To Help
If you'd like to support the project in a non-financial way, I'm always happy to hear from fellow creators, artists, voice actors, writers, editors, and enthusiasts.
