Built a new Flux workflow in ComfyUI. I think this is the one friends. S/o to udio; I'm making absolute gems on their platform I2V mostly in Kling 2.1 Vidu AI Q1 was the only model which maintained the look/feel for the dragon shot

I’m a 42 year old former filmmaker. I made this in 3 days with $39 in credits because it was fun to channel the creativity I had in my 20s It entailed writing, directing, cinematography, art direction, SPFX, editing & sound design The kids will rock our world with these tools❤️

They said AI would destroy art. The new He-Man movie cost $200,000,000. I made this in 5 days for $500. Imagine what $199,999,500 could do for world hunger. Just saying.

A guy in his 40s with a MacBook Air made this in his mom’s basement with $500 in credits. This is what microbudget film & TV looks like now. Models used in the description.

I know I'm late to the party, but Nano Banana Pro & Kling 3.0 are an absolute game changer for AI cinema. Here's something I whipped up in 3 days in for the #HiggsfieldAction Contest. I'll share my workflow below this post soon :)

Added some shots to "Rainbow Sun" (my Flux workflow); a music video clip I'll be uploading to AI MVS - OCME #1-upload - musicvideoshow.ai. I haven't had a lot of time to push content since the summer, but hopefully in early '26 I'll finally get some full length music vids wrapped up! Song made in Udio.

500K views on zombies standing in the snow?? No rage bait. Anti-AI sentiment sparse. Mostly positive bunch who just like cool movies. So should I cook up some new action sequences or what?

Huge thanks to Runway x Timmy for hooking me up with Seedance 2.0. This is the model that breaks the dam. A tidal wave of visions we were never supposed to see, is coming.

They got you fellas so riled up about AI, you don’t even resent my little blue checkmark anymore! Used to be a man could spend eight dollars & inspire real hatred How about this; If I win the #HiggsfieldAction contest-FROST BLOOD 3 becomes a feature. Seems fair

Here's my test of Hailuo AI (MiniMax) 02 text-to-video. They still rule the T2V game One critical flaw (I hope this gets fixed) is that in most of my shots every 4th frame was duplicated. This was a nightmare to correct as you can imagine. Song made in Mureka.
