I was finishing Dinner Time when I realized Veo 3.1 wasn’t available — perfect timing, of course.I tried GROK instead, but it turned out to be far less reliable when it comes to respecting reference images… lesson learned the hard way 😅

My final decision on what Video Reference, I wish to work with: https://goto.higgsfield.ai/nXOODo - This is the order that I thought I would use them in, Image Generations: MidJourney, also in conjunction with Discord. Character Consistency is Dzine; PhotoPea will be the backup if needed. Voice/Lip Sync: ElevenLabs. Adobe Premiere Elements 2023 will be used for editing. All of the above are Totally FREE except the Adobe Premiere Elements 2023. I plan on uploading all of these on Wednesday afternoon of this week @ my church. If possible if you could respond with any recommended suggestion(s) I would really appreciate that you would. Mark is it possible to swap out MidJourney for Nana Banana 2 & still maintain a fairly close style of character. If so; I know that you are a big fan of Nana Banana 2. I would be willing to go with it because of all the options available. Please give me some direction & thoughts + or - in that thought process. Please advise what you would do being that I'm going with all FREE apps.

These types of monkey stories are too viral these days.

What is your HOOK (dramatic foreshadow of what's to come) and what is your CLIFFHANGER (Set Up for next video)? My Hook: Full blackout with 2 eyes opening into small slits, peeking into the darkness. Then the eyes pop open. Story cuts to slow panning of a city scape with a low-voiced narrator implying a mystery of some kind. My Cliff Hanger: Story gets to the character with the eyes. My next video hook: The character with the eyes, continuing the story. I've just started using cliffhangers to enable breaking up 3-4 minute videos that are too long for viewer retention. The cliff hanger sets up for the next (continuing) video and becomes the hook for the next video.
