This week's #FlowSessions Artist Spotlight is BAFTA-winning filmmaker, Georgina Cammalleri! 🎬 Her trailer for MOLT follows a food delivery rider hijacked by his own order: a lobster. Doc-style vérité meets creature fable. 💡 Flow Tip: "Pre-light" your Character Sheets. Standard advice says to use white backgrounds for references, but that failed for Georgina's underwater aesthetic. Instead, she photographed her reference lobster ("Jeff") under the exact blue studio lighting used in the film. By feeding Flow a "pre-lit" character sheet, the AI didn't have to guess how light hits the shell—it just applied the correct physics and reflections instantly to every shot.

What happens when legendary creative vision meets Flow? Introducing The Small Brief. We teamed up to provide advertising legends Susan Credle, Jayanta Jenkins, and Tiffany Rolfe unlimited access to Flow, and sent them on a mission: Use Flow to create “impossible ads” — ads that wouldn’t be possible without the help of AI, for small businesses they are passionate about. The creative process is officially in motion. Stay tuned and learn more below! ⚡️ #SmallBusinessWeek

This week's #FlowSessions Artist Spotlight is BAFTA-winning filmmaker, Hal Watmough @___edit9! 🎬 His film, "Don’t Worry, You've Been Here Before," is an ambitious one-shot experiment of a man trying to escape his daily routine, only to spiral into an animated apocalypse. 💡 Flow Tip: Use @GeminiApp as your sounding board. Hal loaded his script and concept art into Gemini to create a project-aware "Assistant Director." When certain ideas hit technical walls, he brainstormed alternative solutions with Gemini to rapidly iterate on concepts that kept his narrative intact while playing to Flow's specific strengths.

This week's #FlowSessions Artist Spotlight is @bradleytangonan! 🎬His film "Murmuray" follows the surreal journey of a man who returns to his childhood backyard to confront the presence of his late mother. 💡 Flow Tip: Use a storyboard grid to direct the action. Bradley created a 4x4 storyboard grid using Flow's image tools and uploaded this as an Ingredient. By prompting Flow to reference specific panels (e.g., "connect frame A to frame B"), he could guide the model to produce specific shot transitions, ensuring the video followed his exact pre-visualized narrative.

@EMardochee78 @GoogleDeepMind @NanoBanana Looks great!

What do you think of these cinematic-style images created with Nano Banana Pro 2? @GoogleDeepMind @FlowbyGoogle @NanoBanana

@FloridaManRJ Thanks for flagging, this issue should now be resolved.

Hey @FlowbyGoogle there is a glitch with your update. When using the reuse prompt option for an image it instantly tells us to buy new credits. Fix that please. Only happens when reusing the prompt.

@GoferInsane Sorry you were impacted by this issue, it has been fixed and should be working properly now.

@FlowbyGoogle I can't generate new images because the credits always show as dashes?

Want to level up your scenes? Try improving your audio prompts. Character voice consistency is great, but the environment you build around it is what makes or breaks it. Here are the fastest ways to get your characters feeling immersed in a world instead of just speaking text.

Also! 4 second and 6 second video generations are now live for Ultra users. ⚡️ When using Text or Frames to Video, these new lengths can offer greater control over your creative pacing and scene rhythm. Give these new video generation lengths a spin and let us know what you think!
