ERASE / CREATE

ERASE / CREATE is an original science-fiction feature of about 74 minutes (4,393 seconds on the upload), published in full on the YouTube channel Lucas AI on 14 September 2026. The channel's description says it was made from concept to final cut by one person, credited as Lucas AI, and that the story, characters, world, screenplay and creative direction are his.

According to the video description, the video footage was generated with Seedance 2.5 and the film was cut and finished in CapCut Desktop. The maker states that it was not an automated prompt-to-video process: he says he developed the story, wrote the screenplay, designed the characters and world, planned the action sequences, directed the generated performances and cinematography, iterated on the footage, selected the shots, edited the film, and handled visual effects, compositing, colour grading and sound design himself.

The maker presents the project as a statement about independent creators gaining access to tools that once required budget and production scale, and asks whether the tool or the intention behind what one chooses to create makes a work one's own. The same channel carries other AI work, including AI music videos, a Tokyo school horror short and a longer film titled RADIUS.

The film is watchable in full on YouTube, where it had about 18,000 views when read on 16 October 2026. No festival screening, press coverage or Wikidata entry turned up. Viewer comments in several languages, mostly Vietnamese, are divided: some praise it warmly, while others criticise the script, the coherence of the imagery and the pacing of the fights.
