Pika discussion: setup showcase

[aria7087]

I wanted to start a broader setup showcase thread around Pika.

A useful angle is cost control, but it also connects with creative uses. Different tools and workflows can produce very different results even when the goal is similar.

It would be interesting to compare practical examples, experiments, setups, or lessons that show where Pika is genuinely useful and where it still needs improvement.

A practical way to approach pika is to decide what success looks like before you change anything. Otherwise it's easy to keep tweaking without knowing whether you're actually improving it. I would trust a repeatable result more than one impressive run.
