Good question. They would both take the same kind of prep. After the prep you either go to work with for example a pen and paper. Or you start writing prompts, and wait for the video to render on a huge as farm of computers. (Wu-Tang might be for the children, but it would be the children without a hospitable place to live on.) After a render of every scene, you have to check it. Go for the next one. Now if you just keep it at that, throw everything together, you might be off cheaper. Hmmm, might as well have happened here based upon this result.Quote:

Sorry Math, but you dropped the ball on this video.
Anyway, I digress. What i wanted to say that in order to make this actually work, a whole lot of extra work would need to be done. That would probably put the price over a normal animation. In this case, you are right, animation would have costed more than this.
EDIT:
Seems the whole thing was generated with Google's DeepMind Veo 2, directed by Jason Zada. Going by this price point, they went with a very low budget.
People all over are noticing it as pointed out in this article. I ain't trying to be hatefull, but this video is the equivalent of somebody in the early 2000's clicking on a few buttons in Fruityloops and saying they got a song.Quote:
Google’s new AI video model Veo 2 will cost 50 cents per secondGoogle has quietly revealed the pricing of Veo 2, the video-generating AI model that it unveiled in December.
According to the company’s pricing page, using Veo 2 will cost 50 cents per second of video, which adds up to $30 per minute or $1,800 per hour. Google DeepMind researcher Jon Barron contrasted this pricing with the blockbuster Marvel movie “Avengers: Endgame,” which had a reported production budget of $356 million — or around $32,000 per second.
Of course, customers aren’t necessarily going to use every second of Veo-generated video that they pay for, nor is Veo 2 likely to generate three-hour “Avengers” epics anytime soon (Google’s announcement highlighted Veo 2’s ability to create clips that are two minutes or more).
Another price to compare: OpenAI recently made its Sora video generation model available to subscribers paying $200 a month for a ChatGPT Pro subscription.
