Describe
Direct the shot.
Write the action, camera, light, mood, continuity notes, and optional visual references. Choose four, six, or ten seconds.
The Slowpoke model
Keep working.
Let the queue work too.
Fast delivery is expensive because idle capacity is expensive. Slowpoke schedules planned work efficiently, keeps the machines productive, and turns that utilization into lower prices.
Queue
Go make something else.
Your job waits for the right production slot. Close the tab, edit the previous scene, work on sound, or send the next prompt.
Receive
Come back to more footage.
The intended delivery flow notifies you when the clip is ready. Review it, download it, and spend the savings on another take.
Why it costs less
Speed is a premium feature.
We made it optional.
1920 × 8001,536,000 active pixels
Optional widescreen efficiency
Don’t pay to generate what the black bars will cover.
A 1920×1080 frame contains 2,073,600 pixels. The native 1920×800 frame contains 537,600 fewer—about 25.9% of the larger frame.
That is fewer output pixels, not a promise of exactly 25.9% more quality. The real advantages are composition, efficiency, and avoiding discarded image area.
Questions, answered
Before you send the first shot.
How long does a generation take?
A typical target is roughly 10 minutes to an hour, depending on demand, clip length, and job complexity. The point is asynchronous delivery: submit the work and continue with the rest of your production.
Is the quality lower because the price is lower?
Slowpoke’s product goal is comparable cinematic output with a different scheduling model. The savings come from accepting patient delivery and keeping hardware busy, not from intentionally downgrading the creative target.
Why offer native 2.40:1?
If the finished film is widescreen, a native 1920×800 frame avoids rendering the top and bottom of a 1920×1080 image only to hide them with letterboxing later. It is an optional efficiency and composition choice.
Are projects public?
The intended service is private by default. Nothing enters a public gallery without explicit opt-in.
Can I close the tab while I wait?
Yes. Once a generation enters the queue, it continues independently. Return to your private generation library later to review and download the finished clip.
Can I use the output commercially?
Commercial use will depend on the final service terms and your rights to every prompt, reference, likeness, trademark, and other submitted element. This prototype does not grant rights or provide legal advice.
Have a sequence in mind?
Put it in the queue and keep your production moving.
