These are Katechon's own productions, not client work. Every film was planned, referenced, storyboarded and rendered in Katechon Arc; some editing, scoring and upscaling happened outside it, and each page says where. All use ByteDance Seedance 2.0 models; see the [models page](https://arc.katechon.technology/models) and the [AI video price index](https://arc.katechon.technology/ai-video-price-index) for what they cost, and [what an AI short drama costs](https://arc.katechon.technology/answers/how-much-does-it-cost-to-make-an-ai-short-drama) for our measured spend per finished minute.
