How to get consistent characters + solid lipsync One of my fave artists, Simon Meyer, tested pretty much every tool out there such as Hedra, HeyGen, Dreamina, Higgsfield but landed on this workflow: Characters → Seadream in Freepik (Prompt 👇) Video → Seadance (20+ gens per shot) Music →...

Nano Banana Pro is easily one of the best AI tools out right now. It delivers consistent exteriors, interiors, and characters. There are plenty of great tools, but for image generation, editing, and commercial work (ads, mini-dramas, social media videos), this one has become essential to my workflow.

Presenting: The Bridge. An AI Short Film utilizing Veo-2. I’m really proud of this one, as my goal (as always) is to push storytelling, performance, and narrative in this emerging art form. Every shot here utilized Veo-2, although there were a few post-generation tricks here and there. Hedra was used for the lipsync. Writing, Sound, and Editing were done by me. Yeah, I’m pretty proud of this one. Per usual, I’ll have a full run through of the production on the channel in a few days!

"Both are tools that can accomplish the same task but one is smaller and easier for anyone to own and both require a human’s creative touch to truly shine." -- This is how I feel about Suno. My whole job is working with creators & musicians, and I get to watch how they use this tool to make their own music and ideas shine. I get to see people release new EPs and albums using Suno. People are cutting up stems in Suno, using their own productions & voice notes and getting to have full creative control, but Suno makes it easier, more affordable for them to make the music they love -- as the iPhone did. Suno Studio was built as a complement for DAWs and a way to solve pain points we've heard from musicians over and over again -- how do I get clean stems, how do I edit specific stems, how do I extract stems back to my DAW? Musicians are spending hours and hours still making songs that they feel proud of on Suno. I don't know that you can discount the creativity involved in their process without watching them at work.

Did you know that Simon the Sorcerer (1993) was born out of a failed licensing agreement between Terry Pratchett (Discworld) and Adventure Soft? Prior to working on Simon the Sorcerer, Adventure Soft was mostly known for their horror-themed games, such as Elvira or Waxworks (under the Horror Soft label). The idea to move towards more family friendly games was mostly motivated by the huge popularity of games such as Monkey Island and Legend of Kyrandia. Simon the Sorcerer had a very vibrant style, with bold colors and beautiful pixel art. Every graphic was first hand-drawn on paper, then scanned, and manually colored in the final step. In typical point and click adventure style, you navigate Simon through almost 50 of these hand-drawn screens, solving puzzles by collecting and using items, and talking to other characters, looking for clues. Pretty much all adventure games from that era followed the same script, and that was fine. Adventure Soft obviously never had the same marketing power as LucasArts or Sierra, but Simon the Sorcerer still managed to sell over half a million units, which made the game highly profitable for a small family owned game studio from the UK and became their biggest hit ever.

He typed /goal once, Claude Code worked for 3 hours without another prompt, that's the whole story. No hand holding, no "now do this", no babysitting a model through every single step. Just 5 characters, a direction and Claude figuring out every task, every file, every decision needed to get there autonomously. Most developers spend 3 hours and 47 prompts getting Claude to build what /goal ships in one session without being touched once. $20/$200 Claude pro subscription, 1 command, 0 follow up prompts, 3 hours of autonomous work delivered. The difference between using Claude and deploying Claude is 5 characters. Type /goal -> walk away -> come back to a finished product. Here's a full breakdown on how to use it properly ⬇️

From working in the post room at a record label to becoming the world’s best-known music mogul, this is the incredible story of Simon Cowell. You may know him for being a judge on some of the world’s most popular TV shows, but Simon’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode, we dive into topics such as: - Being bankrupt at 30 - Climbing his way up from the bottom - Surviving a life-threatening accident - How the birth of his son transformed his life - His one and only regret about One Direction Plus so much more. This conversation was monumental for me. Not only have I admired Simon and his success on screen since I was a kid, but discovering his passion, incredible work ethic and fierce determination during this conversation left me in complete awe. His brutal honesty, humility & wisdom offer incredible insight into his journey that we can all take inspiration from. His reflections on success, failure, and personal growth were incredibly moving and left a lasting impression on me - and I know so many of you are going to be messaging me saying the same. I can’t wait for you to watch this, hope you enjoy! Hit the link to watch the full episode now and let me know what you think! 👉

This is probably the most complex workflow I’ve ever built, only with open-source tools. It took my 4 days. It takes four inputs: author, title, and style; and generates a full visual animated story in one click in ComfyUI . I worked on it for four days. There are still some bugs, but here’s the first preview. Here’s a quick breakdown: - The four inputs are sent to LLMs with precise instructions to generate: first, prompts for images and image modifications; second, prompts for animations; third, prompts for generating music. - All voices are generated from the text and timed precisely, as they determine the length of each animation segment. - The first image and video are generated to serve as the title, but also as the guide for all other images created for the video. - Titles and subtitles are also added automatically in Comfy. - I also developed a lot of custom nodes for minor frame calculations, mostly to match audio and video. - The full system is a large loop that, for each line of text, generates an image and then a video from that image. The loop was the hardest part to build in this workflow, so it can process either a 20-second video or a 2-minute video with the same input. - There are multiple combinations of LLMs that try to understand the text in the best way to provide the best prompts for images and video. - The final video is assembled entirely within ComfyUI. - The music is generated based on the LLM output and matches the exact timing of the full animation. - Done! For reference, this workflow uses a lot of models and only works on an RTX 6000 Pro with plenty of RAM. My goal is not to replace humans, as I’ll try to explain later, this workflow is highly controlled and can be adapted or reworked at any point by real artists! My aim was to create a tool that can animate text in one go, allowing the AI some freedom while keeping a strict flow. I don’t know yet how I’ll share this workflow with people, I still need to polish it properly, but maybe through Patreon. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my research, and let’s always keep pushing further! :)

Guess who got early access to Imagine!! (Groks AI Video Generator) It’s 5 am, I should be asleep… but this is too much fun. Unlike any other video generator I’ve used, Grok’s Imagine gives you SO much more. First you type in your prompt and Imagine will give you TONS of scenes to choose from.. once you’ve chosen one (or five.. or ten..) you just hit the button and bam! Instant video. BUT THATS NOT ALL! Groks Imagine engine also gives you 4 different sound options for each video! This allows you to get the perfect sound every time. This is a total game changer. It’s already WAY ahead of most of its competitors who’ve been in the game for much longer. This is an awesome addition and I can’t wait for everyone to try it out!

'I’ve always loved working with visual artists and following on from the competition that we ran with Stability AI around the release of i/o, we are setting up 5050 to encourage the creation of more of these collaborations. So if you have any type of visual work that you would like to try out alongside my music in a video, this is a place where you can explore it. Also, it didn’t seem fair that the music creators get all the revenue on platforms such as YouTube, so we’ve called it 5050 as we look to have a fairer share between the visual and music creators.' - pg Visit for more information & to watch the Olive Tree video by Oranguerillatan

Seedance 2.0 is allowing us to enter a new era of music video creation. Here is how I created HONEY. It was a quick test to see how well this workflow holds up. 🐝 1 - Write your song and generate the music with Suno 5.5. 2 - Use an image generator of your choice. For HONEY I combined both Grok Imagine for aesthetics and Nano Banana Pro for refined editing. 3 - In Capcut I import my audio and just save out a blank video video containing the audio. This step is important because this video file containing audio will now be used with Seedance 2.0 as a video reference with Omni. This allows the AI to apply automatic and realistic lipsync and movement to the music, it's extremely powerful! 4 - Once I have a both my image and video with audio as reference, I use Seedance 2.0 Omni and upload my starting image and then the video reference with the audio. 5 - From here I'm simply prompting like normal, specifying what's happening in my scene with detailed instructions, mentioning multi shots and camera angle changes and then specifying that the person is singing along to the song. I type out the lyrics that are present to have better lipsync accuracy. 6 - Once I have generated a video and like the result, I do video to video, so i upload that video that just got generated and type "The scene continues" and prompt new actions to take place. This allows you to expand on a narrative. These new shots can be used as B-ROLL and since I uploaded my video as reference I have full consistency of everything it saw in the video. This is also extremely powerful. 7 - This is actually the most difficult part. Edit in Capcut. This is where you need to understand pacing and shot selection from all the scenes you generated to bring it all together. You must be strategic with the editing. Goodluck! I'll probably record a video tutorial at some point as it's easier to see what is being done.

Posting this again tonight in honor of Brad Arnold, the lead singer and founder of Three Doors Down. It might seem like an odd way to pay tribute, but when I first shared this video three years ago, Brad actually reached out and told me he thought it was hilarious and entertaining. That meant a lot, because I’ve been a huge fan of his music for years. What meant even more, though, was learning how strong his faith was, how much he loved Jesus. That connection made me an even bigger fan of the man behind the music. Rest easy, brother. We’ll see you when we get up there. 🙏

Holy fucking shit that was an Endgame level event. Rinacita was such a MASSIVE part of the story, I've been here for weeks now and I've loved every second of it, I'm honestly a bit sad to be moving on. The characters and writing were just so good from start to finish and every new quest became a new peak for the story. This alone could've been an entire game by itself. The characters from Ragunna/Septimont are all some of my favorites that I really hope we still get to see again in the future. Galbrena being Angel was such a fucking cool reveal and it just proves Rinacita women are just built insane, seeing Cartethiya come back and finally achieve that freedom from the Threnodian was so satisfying AND THE AVENGERS LEVEL TEAM UP AT THE END OH MY GODDDD MAN. This has genuinely been generational. There are very few games I have played where I have loved every single member of the cast this much. I loved how long it was, it gave a lot of room to bond with the characters beyond their own personal stories and truly felt like one massive arc where everything connected and nothing was rushed. I spent so much time in Rinacita and so much time with the people there that I honestly don't want to leave, but more peak awaits. I have to say Wuwa is quickly becoming one of my favorite fictional universes just in general. My current top 5 is Cartethiya, Iuno, Carlotta, Lupa, Galbrena.

I used Seedance Enterprise 2.5 to create this AI rap music video. One thing I noticed during testing was that I spent less time regenerating shots. I got the result on the second attempt. I was getting usable results more consistently, which made the workflow feel faster and more cost-effective. The authenticity struck me profoundly, Seedance 2.5 captures micro‑expressions and subtle eye shifts that feel unscripted — the kind of nuance that usually gets lost in AI, but here makes every frame read as a real performance. The 30-second generation made the creative process feel much more natural. The motion, lighting, and camera movement felt more natural, making it easier to focus on storytelling instead of fixing every scene. I can also see how pairing it with SeedAudio would make the overall AI music video workflow even more seamless. Support for multimodal references and localized editing helped keep the visuals consistent while making refinements much easier. Overall, Seedance 2.5 feels less like a shot generator and more like a creative tool for cinematic storytelling and music videos. Seedance 2.5 API is about to launch on BytePlus, and Lumina will also roll out Seedance 2.5 soon

Most of the obituaries and tributes to David Hockney will, I imagine, focus primarily on his extraordinary craft and brilliance as an artist. Perhaps they might also mention his brilliance as a communicator (he was such a fine writer and speaker). But there was something else rather unique about him too. He was also strikingly honest about the tricks/techniques artists use and used to paint. His book Secret Knowledge is a rather wonderful detective work into how renaissance and Dutch golden age painters used glass and mirrors to help them master perspective. It's a pretty compelling case (see this video clip from a BBC doc he made alongside the book👇) though I'm sure some art historians will raise their eyebrows. Many will be aghast at the notion that greats like Vermeer might have been using lenses and camera obscuras to help them draw and paint. As if it were in some way "cheating". But Hockney was so self-evidently brilliant he was one of the few people who could document this without anyone gainsaying his own talent. There are very few artists, living or dead, who have this degree of self-confidence. Not just to know their craft, but to be bracingly honest about how it works. One other who comes to mind is Paul Simon: not just an extraordinary musician but is also an extraordinary communicator about the tricks and techniques of how to write and perform music. For many great artists, the temptation is to cloak their crafts in mystery, like a member of the magic circle. Hockney wasn't having any of it. So yes, he was a legend in all the obvious ways. But also in a few other less obvious ways as well. RIP.

most people struggle to generate human faces consistently on seedance 2.0, especially when relying on character sheets a lot of the time, the system rejects it or the face breaks across scenes so I built a workflow that uses a base image as the anchor instead this keeps the face clean, natural, and consistent while still giving you full control for cinematic shots it’s a small change, but it makes a huge difference when working with human characters another thing I’ve learned, instead of generating scene by scene (which burns a lot of credits), it’s much more efficient to build multiple moments inside one 15s generation you can guide each second with slightly different prompt directions, then refine the final result with manual cut-to-cut editing this way you get more usable footage in one go and still keep control in post try it here: FLORA © #FLORATechnique

. T I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but I spent almost two weeks making a just my voice version of CHROMAKOPIA and it just got spontaneously blocked this morning. In this video, it is CHROMAKOPIA but every single sound is made using my voice, including the drums and bass even. I’ve done these videos for a while and sometimes they go viral. If there is any way you can get this unblocked it would mean the world to me, I spent over 150 hours making this and it's the best piece of music I've ever been a part of and would hate for no one to be able to watch it. Below I’ve attached Thought I Was Dead but it’s just my voice as an example for what the content is.
