# Hailuo 02 · MiniMax — cinematic physics, dramatic light

> Hailuo 02 on eroq: MiniMax's engine for cinematic camera language, convincing physics and dramatic light, 6 or 10 second clips at 720p, image-to-video casting. 100 credits per clip, Hobby plan and up.

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.

## Best uses

- Establishing shots with weather: storms, fog, snowfall, city rain.
- Music-video energy — whip pans, crane moves, hard color.
- Product hero shots with dramatic lighting on a Hobby budget.
