How it works

  1. 1

    Take a stretch of the timeline

    Drag across the film. 5 seconds minimum, 30 at most. The price follows where you land: the opening costs the most, and 15 minutes in it is the same everywhere.

  2. 2

    Direct it

    You say what happens in your seconds: the shot, the movement, the mood. Do it while you buy, or later from your private link. Nobody else gets a say in your part.

  3. 3

    It becomes part of the film

    Your seconds are made and cut in exactly where you bought them, with your name in the frame if you want it there. Everything before and after is somebody else’s idea.

Questions

What is the film about?
Nobody knows, and that is the point. Every buyer decides their own seconds. What comes out is whatever everybody’s seconds add up to. Probably not a story, definitely a film.
Why do the first seconds cost so much?
The opening is the first thing anyone sees, so it is worth more than a second somewhere in the twentieth minute. The premium fades over the first 15 minutes, and after that every second costs the same.
Why does a longer run cost more per second?
Because a long run is a bigger piece of the film, and a rarer thing to own. The smallest buy is priced at the plain rate. Doubling your run adds a quarter to the rate, and it keeps climbing from there.
Do I have to write the prompt straight away?
No. You can buy your seconds and leave the box empty. The private link in your email brings you back whenever the idea arrives.
What if I hate what comes out?
Generate it again from your private link. Your seconds stay yours, and the film re-cuts itself each time something new lands.
What do I actually get?
Control of that stretch of the timeline, the clip itself to keep, and a credit if you want one. Nobody can change your seconds but you.
What is the name in the frame?
Your name, your company or your URL, burned into your own seconds, bottom right, on screen for as long as you own. It comes with the seconds, there is nothing extra to pay, and you can leave it empty if you would rather not be named.
Does my part have to follow on from the one before it?
Only if you want it to. By default your seconds start on the last frame of whoever comes before you, so the film carries on. Turn that off and you get a clean cut into your own idea.
