Plan the cost of a video generation project

Plan the generation budget for this project.

Per shot:
1. **Difficulty**, from what actually drives failure: number of moving elements, human faces, hands, contact between objects, crowd, length, on-screen text.
2. **Expected attempts** before an acceptable take. Simple static shots may work in one or two; a shot with hands, contact, and a long duration can take many. *Budgeting one attempt per shot is the mistake this prompt exists to prevent.*
3. Cost per attempt and expected total for that shot.

Then:
- Total expected cost, and total if everything takes twice as long as estimated. Plan against the second number.
- **The three most expensive shots, with cheaper substitutes**: a still image with motion added in editing, a shorter duration, a simpler framing, stock footage, or cutting the shot.
- Generation order — cheap establishing shots first to validate style, expensive ones last when the prompt is proven.
- Where to stop and accept a take. Say what "good enough" is per shot, because the marginal improvement per attempt drops fast.

Rules:
- ⚠️ *Do not state current prices as fact.* Use the pricing I gave you; if I gave none, express everything in attempts and say to multiply by the current rate.
- Flag any shot whose expected cost exceeds what the shot contributes.
