@azdeto @aimikoda @Hailuo_AI @dreamina_ai nice scene! congrat.

About a week ago, I tested the workflow from @aimikoda and made my own version of Jeddica. Now, I added a few more cuts, slapped a song of mine from Suno and decided to publish it. Made with Seedance 2.0 Fast on @Hailuo_AI and @dreamina_ai

Re…fresh…ing… | A Steampunk AI Comedy Short Film I just launched a new short film: Re…fresh…ing… (approx. 8 minutes). ▶️ Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=yvDrWP… A worn riverside tavern on the Danube. A crew of stubborn old sailors. And one brass "Smart Waiter" robot that has read your profile, analyzed your liver, and politely refuses to pour you a beer. It's a steampunk comedy about the day artificial intelligence walked into the pub, started "optimizing the database," and discovered that progress is a thing a man can roll back with a glass of water. Based on a short story by Erdős Sándor. Directed by me, Valics Lehel. The irony: it's an anti-AI film, and I made it, with full awareness of the irony, using AI. The voices, images and motion are all generated. So the film is both the joke and the proof of the joke. How it was made: • Frames: Nano Banana Pro • Motion and video: Seedance, Dreamina (@dreamina_ai ), kie.ai • Voices: ElevenLabs • Edit and grade: Premiere • Premiere PLUGINS VoxFerry (ElevenLabs), ClipFerry (Topaz bridge to Premiere) The hardest part by far was the fight scene. AI still struggles with believable physical combat, so I drove the motion with real-world references and a "hologram" gag that turns the AI's weaknesses into the joke itself. If an AI waiter refused you a beer and recommended lemon water instead, what would you have ordered? #DreaminaCPP @dreamina_ai #shortfilm #steampunk #AIfilmmaking #generativeAI #comedy

@Starrworld24 Thank you so much. I hope the book lives up to the cover. I’d love to hear your feedback on the book too.

@lvalics Wow, your book cover is amazing! It’s incredibly intriguing and immediately makes me curious about the story. This truly stands out in the feed. I can really tell a lot of care went into it. Excellent work.

For years, my grandfather almost never spoke about the war. What came out came sideways. Across a kitchen table. On a winter evening. The mine that collapsed around him. A promise he made to God. The faces he said he saw coming out of walls and pipes at night, years after he came home. The way he would pick peas in his sleep, gathering them one by one with his fingers, whispering that each one was a treasure. He was a man who made jokes, raised four children, and lived many happy decades. But his hands remembered things he never said out loud. I wrote a book for him. "Brotherhood in the Bitter Cold" is a historical fiction novel about five men walking home across a frozen wilderness after years in Soviet captivity. No map, no papers, no way to know if anyone is still waiting for them. It is about what people carry when they have lost everything else: memory, friendship, and the stubborn will to keep walking. It is now available on Amazon, in Kindle and paperback. amazon.com/dp/B0H63B2JX7 If you read it, I would be grateful to hear what you think. And if it moves you, a short review on Amazon helps more than you know, it is how a small book like this finds its readers.

@maxescu ok, info? :-)

StoryBoard - turn your script into characters, reference images, and storyboards (free, private beta) I have been building StoryBoard, a free pre-production workspace for indie filmmakers, comic creators, and video makers. Instead of juggling eight different AI tools where your main character looks different in every shot, you do it all in one place. youtube.com/watch?v=nnhFJW… What it does today: - Scripts — write by hand or paste a chapter (PDF, TXT, DOCX); AI parses it into scenes and characters - Reference images — multi-angle reference sheets for your characters, environments, and objects, kept consistent - Voices — give each character a locked voice - Blocking — stage your cast and props, then export a shoot-ready PDF - Storyboards — generate storyboard frames with your references injected, so faces stay consistent shot to shot Video generation is on the roadmap for later. It is BYOK (bring your own API keys, pay providers directly, no markup), so the workspace itself is free. Right now it is in private beta, and it is free forever for the first 1,000 users. Short demo video attached below. Access here: storyboardbook.com Would love your feedback. What would you want to see next?

@SrFrankius @dreamina_ai @Google @ElevenLabs @suno @img1 This is how a character sheet is looking, I always add this into the prompt as reference.

@lvalics @dreamina_ai @Google @ElevenLabs @suno @img1 Thanks it looks more natural than character sheet i'm using

Made a full teaser for my debut AI feature film. "Brotherhood in the Bitter Cold" — based on the true story of my grandfather from Siberia, 1948. @ Stack: @dreamina_ai Seedance (main video) + @Google Nano Banana (character refs) + @ElevenLabs (narration) + @suno (music) + @claudeai Code SKILLS. Aggregators: @higgsfield , @freepik 🧵 youtube.com/watch?v=Gno4Gh…

Example: Photorealistic full-body character reference sheet, production design catalog photography, white seamless studio background, soft even diffused lighting, no harsh shadows, sharp focus throughout. Subject: Romanian utility company senior field engineer @img1 as company brand, male, 55 years old, average height, slightly stocky solid build, salt and pepper hair short and neatly combed, clean shaven, weathered tanned face from years of outdoor fieldwork, calm direct gaze with slight crows feet, expression of quiet competence with a hint of tiredness around the eyes. Wearing utility company field workwear in navy blue and safety orange, branded zip-up field jacket with reflective strips on sleeves and a stylized generic gas utility logo patch on the chest, navy work trousers, sturdy black steel-toe work boots, leather belt with multitool pouch and small radio clip, ID badge on a lanyard around the neck, rugged analog wristwatch on left wrist, reading glasses tucked into chest pocket, holding a slightly worn clipboard with papers in his left hand. Posture: neutral standing, feet shoulder-width apart, arms relaxed at sides, professional but grounded.Layout: the figure shown three times across the frame, left to right, FRONT view, SIDE view (right profile), BACK view, identical pose, identical lighting, identical scale, separated by visible spacing, each view labeled in small clean sans-serif text below: "FRONT", "SIDE", "BACK".Right side of the frame: a vertical strip of 6 numbered detail sample cards on neutral light gray backgrounds, each captioned in small print, top to bottom, 1) close-up of stylized utility-company logo patch on jacket sleeve, 2) ID badge on lanyard with blurred name text, 3) rugged analog wristwatch on wrist with worn leather strap, 4) reading glasses with thin metal frame, 5) tall stack of paper dossiers and folders bound with rubber bands, 6) scuffed work boot tread close-up.Style: hyper-photorealistic, museum-catalog quality, neutral color grading, no stylization, no painterly effects, looks like a real person photographed in a studio for an HR reference, not a character illustration.

@lvalics @dreamina_ai @Google @ElevenLabs @suno What typw of prompt do u use to make nanobana look more cinematographic?

@SrFrankius @dreamina_ai @Google @ElevenLabs @suno No, I used Nano Banana. I have dropped MJ subscription, I think is nice for things, but NB now is far better.

@lvalics @dreamina_ai @Google @ElevenLabs @suno Did u u use midjourney too?

"Re...fresh...ing..." — Artificial Intelligence in the Pub (Official Trailer) #ArtificialIntelligenceInThePub #Refreshing #ShortFilmTrailer #DreaminaCPP @dreamina_ai What happens when an unyielding sailor meets an overly cautious AI robot? Step into the Half-Pipe, a weathered tavern resting on the banks of the Danube, where centuries of harbor tradition collide with the stubborn algorithms of modern technology. When the establishment introduces a "Smart Waitress" to streamline the bar, the local patrons quickly find themselves in a hilarious, high-stakes standoff for the right to order a simple cold beer. Based on the short story by Erdős Sándor, "Artificial Intelligence in the Pub" is a comedic, atmospheric clash between human grit and corporate tech absurdity. The Full Short Movie Coming Soon. 🎬 Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=LgIeMf…

@ocirej_tan @Framer_X I have built on 720p, very low reroll, probabbly around 20USD. but not calculated on production.

@lvalics @Framer_X What was the cost of that video?

You can literally create your own Family Guy now. Tools are here. The technical know-how is no longer the hard part. What matters is memorable characters, a good story, and consistent creation to build a fanbase around them. Tutorial 👇

@head22937 @Framer_X This story was in the tutorial Hero 3. I just added a little bit of my spicey. :-)

@lvalics @Framer_X I was just playing. Looks like you extended the other guy's story... ? That would be an interesting collaboration or platform, to just let other people extend from the base story... I was joking because that story sounds like my life. :)

@head22937 @Framer_X unique story? :-)

@lvalics @Framer_X I DID NOT GIVE YOU RIGHTS TO MY LIFE STORY !!!

Learn animation ... 2D, 3D ... nice to have.

X I built StoryboardBook, a tool for creating and sharing storyboards online: storyboardbook.com Free for the first 1,000 users, with around 100 already subscribed. I may keep it free after that too. Hope it helps creators and the storytelling community. #storytelling #storybook
