Dialogue scene from Homer's Odyssey built on Grok Imagine. Thread on how this was built below.

This looks like absolute dog shit and isn’t in Ancient Greek either.

I treat @grok @imagine like I would treat a real production from a real set. Two locked start frames: one over Calypso's shoulder, one over Odysseus' shoulder. I reuse these as the launch images for the whole conversation, so the scene's geometry never drifts on me.

How I make dialogue seamless in one scene: I run the dialogue from both OTS (Over The Shoulder) camera angles, and when a moment needs both voices in one take, the prompt declares both voices up top and gives them strict turns. Example: "OTS on Calypso, handheld continuous take. Both characters speak in this clip, one at a time, never overlapping: she speaks on camera; his single reply arrives as a voice off-frame. Two quiet seconds; presses on, each clause a stone in water. Speaks spaced, low warm alto, soft Greek accent: Keep this house. Beat. Be ageless. Beat. Softer: Forever. Stillness; she waits, eyes on him..."

The key to continuity between each angle when cutting is that I run movement prompts from both angles. For example when Odysseus wipes her tear, I run "loose fist, only the index finger extended, one short slow downward stroke beside her nose" for both angles of the scene. Same hand, same finger, same stroke in both prompts. That way the action and emotion is mirrored correctly from both angles and the two shots cut together like one continuous piece of blocking.

Too short, we need to make the whole thing 🚀

Agreed.

I love how they had cheap yellow drugstore earplugs in the bronze age

Nice, it almost looks like 70s porn! I will take Christopher Nolan’s version! It was fucking epic! The building shook!

OMG, no one will watch this movie, what the fuck is this “Jesus of Nazareth 1970” type shit? You are incredibly butthurt and with all your propaganda and review bombing, Nolan’s Odyssey is still the biggest launch of 2026, after Toy Story. Get a life or cope harder.

Hollywood on notice

Odysseus, who is the one person who doesn't plug his ears in the poems, seen here with industrial grade ear plugs from 3M.

i think u made odysseus a little too happy to spend one last night with calypso before going back to his beloved penelope . LOL 🤣🤣 regardless , awesome work !

Note taken 😅

Better than Nolan’s version and more historically accurate.

A 3 minute AI generated video somehow more interesting and emotionally investing than the entire 3 hour slog of a $250,000,000 movie 😑

This is how we either steer Hollywood back to sanity or replace it wholesale. Well done!

Those UFO trees are so funny. Also, there are no such trees in Greece.

Wow, that was epic! There are tons of projects begging for this treatment. If you can deliver a full movie with $200 million production value for just $10 million in Ai production… well, goddamn! The future looks bright! Real stories of heroes and classic Western culture will finally be told the way they were always meant to. Getting the mental illness an evil communist out of movie making would be great.

Odysseus is described in the original books as "black/dark skinned" and yet here you have a white guy playing him. Just reminding you in case you did actually intend any degree of authenticity, seeing as that's a hot topic at the moment (but only for certain races/skin colours).

Wow this looks like shit. Can't wait for this dumb circle jerk bubble to burst.

Really nice. I did an homage to the Odyssey too

Is there a reason Gabriel shows up to announce Jesus’ birth in the odyssey tho?

Have you watched this Odyssey? Highly recommended.

Literally better than any scene in that Nolan trash heap. Nice work!

There’s already great renditions of the story. One just came out. We don’t need ai slop.

"Hermes has wings," he read somewhere but didn't bother to check to make sure he got the specifics right.

I can get behind this kinda AI. Its almost like when there's respect for the audience and the source material you get something amazing.

Ancient Greeks didn’t look Scottish.

Love the historically accurate use of foam ear plugs…..

This is why I love your work! Feels so different. It’s directed, not just generated.

this looks better than the actual movie. and im not even kidding

Better than silly Hollywood antics.

This will be fringe - like cartoons at the movies. People want to see real actors at the movies.

You’re incredible

this is the first AI video where the eyes speak. you've been able to capture human emotions in the eyes. amazing. well done! can't wait for the full film.

Porn parodies have classier looking production value. Only simpletons are entertained by this AI slop

Yeah Hollywood is cooked. Yes there’s some AI glossiness etc and still some uncanny valley around the edges but for all intents and purposes it’s going to end up impossible to tell the difference. And if one guy can prompt a mass epic into existence there will be no need except out of quaintness to keep it around.
