About the film

A dad in a homemade monster costume. A kid in cardboard armour. And the one household chore that ruins everything. Monster Duty is a short film created, written and directed by Davide Pisauri. The animation was generated with Seedance 2.5, and the character models were designed with Nano Banana Pro. This is a personal project, made to experiment with AI video and to see how far a single person can push a complete narrative short with almost no budget. The whole film was produced in about 8 hours of work, for a total cost of roughly $150. One of the main goals was to get each shot right on the first generation. Not by settling for whatever came out, but by treating every prompt as a real shot brief: precise action, camera, timing and sound, written so that the model would return something as close as possible to what I had in mind before spending credits on a second attempt. The film became a way to sharpen that writing. The other two challenges were consistency and silence. Keeping
