I want to let you all know about our first partner — Anthum AI. These guys are building a really solid platform where you can enter live contests and get paid for creating AI-generated videos for real brands. They just wrapped their first competition and are growing fast. If you want more opportunities to put your cinematic skills to work — and potentially earn while doing it — I highly recommend checking them out. If you’re on Discord, join here to stay updated on their new contests: https://discord.gg/Gh9BS7UKrm If you’re not a Discord user, you can sign up directly on their site: https://anthum.ai/ Give them a look. This could be a great outlet for your work.

I kept it simple 😄

For this week’s challenge, your mission is simple: Create a 5–10 second cinematic animation that brings the emblem to life — any kind of emblem you want. Think shapes, symbols, abstract marks, anything graphic. It can spin, flip, glow, distort, rotate, pulse, pop toward the camera, or move however you imagine. Use any tools that fit your flow — MidJourney, Kling, Runway, Seedance, Veo, whatever you prefer. The goal is to take a static graphic and turn it into motion. Simple. Fast. Creative. If you participated last week, I really enjoyed seeing what you came up with — such unique, creative ideas. Would love to see even more people jump in this round. Post your final clip in the Dailies thread with the tag #WednesdayChallenge. Can’t wait to see what everyone creates.

It looks like Meta.ai has quietly teamed up with MidJourney for their image and video generation. I don’t know the full story yet, but the output feels very MidJourney-ish… and the wild part is you can use it completely free. You can generate imagery and video right inside meta.ai after creating a free account. A few things I’ve noticed while testing: - Image resolution isn’t as high as going directly through MidJourney - Everything exports as JPEG (no PNGs like MJ) - Video resolution is noticeably smaller - It even supports SREF codes, which blew my mind a bit Still, if you’ve been wanting to experiment with the MidJourney look without paying for a plan, this is honestly a solid way to get your feet wet. Great for messing around, testing concepts, or just exploring ideas. Just wanted to pass it along in case it helps anyone experimenting this week.
