Powered by Kling, Awarded at Cannes Lions 🏆

L'Ultimo Uomo Reale (The Last Real Man) won a Silver Lion and a Bronze Lion at Cannes Lions 2026 — in the Film – Consumer Goods and the newly introduced Film Craft – AI Craft categories, respectively. Directed by Sebastian Strasser and produced by Lipstick, the film used Kling AI for the majority of its shots.
From the character’s nuanced micro-expressions to fantastical worlds built from wild imaginations, Kling AI delivered industry-leading character consistency, cinematic visuals, and motion quality. It proved to be the perfect creative partner in bringing the director’s vision to life.
Huge congrats to Lipstick and Team One for the win!

@john_my07 Great Look! Although ‘consumer DV camcorder’ looks different. But it did nail the camera shakiness.

@nicolaiklemke Cool! Something I’d like to try out!
Believe it or not, I’m a Schlager music video editor.
What video model is it?
Did you add the lyrics afterwards?

@postmindfuck @Gossip_Goblin Haha I see the resemblance!
Maybe I’ll quit my job and become a Guru!

[Daan Van Baelen @daanvb]

@postmindfuck @Gossip_Goblin Not really, but you’re giving me ideas 😅

@realcountlustig @BENBALLER She’s a great actress.

Thank God for your Mitte sponsorship:)
For a feature that’s absolutely cheap, but still expensive to pay it all yourself.
My guess is that Higgsfield batch-generated lots of clips because of time issues. If you generate 10 versions of the same clip simultaneously that adds up. Time is money too, so still cheaper than paying people to wait untill a single clip is finished I guess:)

@aifilmmaker Cool, with what did you generate the frames?
Am I right that keyframe 1 & 4 are the same (empty frame)? Is keyframe 2 & 3 the same too (only 3 is cropped)?
Or is keyframe 2 & 3 different?
Thanks!

@JSFILMZ0412 I like the more natural Luma look. I think Luma is meant to have a video input, to add SFX or change a location for example.
For generations without reference video seedance is definitely the winner!

Direction goes in. Cinema comes out.

@LumaLabsAI @lidl Frohe Fronleichnam!🎺

[Daan Van Baelen @daanvb]

I made a spec Ad for Lidl's Freeway Cola.
Since Coca Cola has the Christmas Man, I figured Lidl deserved... 'the Fronleichnammann'.

This is a parody. Not affiliated with Lidl!

Made 100% with Seedance. Generated on the amazing LUMA Labs platform!
