Hailuo 02 · MiniMax — cinematic physics, dramatic light
Hailuo 02 is MiniMax's motion engine, and its signature is drama: hard light, deep shadows, weather and water that behave, camera moves that feel directed. It renders 6 or 10 second clips at 720p, takes a reference image for casting, and is included from the Hobby plan — the most cinematic engine on the cheapest plan.

The look
Hailuo leans dramatic: contre-jour rims, practical light sources, rain and smoke with volume. Feed it the Horror, Film noir or Music video film types and a Tense or Chaotic tempo and it delivers trailer-grade energy. It is less clinical than Seedance Pro, which is exactly the point on the right scene.
