Before you jump in, there’s one important thing to understand about this community. AIography exists to explore how AI is reshaping filmmaking, storytelling, and creative workflows from script to screen. This is a place for learning, sharing experiments, asking smart questions, and helping each other navigate a rapidly changing creative landscape. To help keep the signal high and reduce spam, posting is unlocked once you reach Level 2. You’ll get there quickly by engaging in discussions, reacting to posts, and participating thoughtfully. What this community is NOT: - A place to pitch “make money” schemes - A place to drop affiliate links, funnels, or cold offers - A place to self-promote unrelated products or services If your first instinct after joining is to sell something, this is not the right room for you. What is encouraged: - Thoughtful discussion around AI tools and workflows - Sharing work in context (what you tried, what worked, what didn’t) - Helping others learn and think more clearly about AI and creativity - Genuine collaboration and curiosity Promotion may be allowed later and in the right context, but it is never the starting point here. Posts or comments that ignore this will be removed. Repeated behavior will result in removal from the community — no drama, no warnings loop. We’re here to build understanding and craft, not noise. If that sounds like your mindset, you’re in exactly the right place. If not, it’s better to know that now. — Larry

Hey Everyone, I stumbled upon this workflow from @TechHalla on X. He's an amazing resource on all things AI image and video, and he posted this breakdown on how he gets consistent characters, which, as we all know, is one of the big stumbling blocks when trying to put together a video that makes sense. I've attached the workflow here as a PDF. A few notes: He works with Higgsfield, but you can try this out on any decent generative video platform that has Nano Banana, aka, Gemini-3-pro-image-preview 2K (either standard or Pro). If you have a Google Gemini account, you can access it there as well. Quick tip: To use his prompts, just drag and drop the image file into ChatGPT and ask it to convert the image to text. Definitely go follow TechHalla on X—he's worth adding to your feed..

Finally moving past "prompt and pray"! Google's new guide breaks down how to actually direct Veo 3.1 like a cinematographer. Key Highlights: ✨ The 5-Part Formula: Cinematography + Subject + Action + Context + Style & Ambiance = consistent, pro results. 🎙️ Audio Game-Changer: Veo 3.1 now generates dialogue, SFX, and ambient sound. Use quotation marks for specific speech (e.g., "We have to leave now") and describe sound effects directly in your prompt. 🎯 Character Consistency: "Ingredients to Video" lets you use reference images to maintain consistent characters, objects, and styles across multiple shots. Perfect for building actual scenes with dialogue! 📸 First & Last Frame: Generate smooth transitions between two images - like a 180° camera arc in a single generation. Combine with Gemini for the start/end frames. 🎥 Timestamp Prompting: Direct complete multi-shot sequences with precise timing: [00:00-00:02] Medium shot... [00:02-00:04] Reverse shot... [00:04-00:06] Tracking shot... Pro tip from the guide: Master cinematography language (dolly shots, shallow DOF, crane shots) - it's your most powerful tool for controlling tone and emotion.
