BLENDER MCP + KIMI K3 JUST DID THIS

Top is a basic gray-shaded scene inside Blender. Bottom is the final cinematic result.

> same car
> same driver
> same camera path
> completely different level of realism and motion

Kimi K3 controlled the scene through Blender MCP.

The gap between simple 3D and final shot keeps getting shorter.

Today we’ve raised $52M Seed and we are announcing the public launch of S2.1 Pro.

>It can clone a voice from 5 seconds of audio
>2x faster than Cartesia & 1/6th the cost of Eleven Labs
>most expressive model with word level control over emotion, intonation, pacing etc

We support frontier AI companies including HeyGen, LiveKit, Retell, Sanas, and OpenArt all run our model in production.

If you're a business and we can't cut your voice AI costs by 50%, we'll give you 1 year of Fish Audio for free.
Book a demo: https://t.co/vHkyZf9JoG

To celebrate our first birthday, we'll give you 1 month of S2.1 Pro for free. Like, retweet, and comment “Fish” to get it.

@FishAudio This is really impressive! Do you have an API that works with HeyGen?

iPhone camera control for Seedance 2.0

the app for 3D camera and AI motion transfer is now in test flight, link below.

You stage the scene and can walk around it and capture real camera movement in 3D space, then Seedance brings the scene to life.

Handheld camera motion and realistic shake is hard to describe or prompt to Al. The iphone's ARKit is super precise with motion tracking and you can record complex scenes as a one man studio.

The characters can move and I am working on motion capture.

Here is the Al filmmaking workflow:

1. Set the scene in 3D space

2. Record camera motion

3. Generate a starting image

4. Feed image and video to Seedance

This was a quick build with claude code but now it is in test flight. Happy if it helps others.

Every Creative Revolution Looks Like the End of Creativity

For the past few years, it feels like I’ve had two voices sitting on my shoulders every time the topic of Artificial Intelligence comes up.

One tells me AI is one of the most exciting creative tools I’ve seen in my lifetime.

The other warns about copyright concerns, job displacement, misinformation, deepfakes, concerns about resources consumption and the growing flood of AI generated content (slop) appearing online every day.

The uncomfortable truth is that they’re both right.

20 Years of @GoPro ... 2006-2026

I've been reviewing the entire Digital History of GoPro HERO cameras and accessories for nearly 20 years and have tested every single one of them and shared my results on ProVideo Coalition.

With the latest addition of the Mission 1 Pro, I'm excited to continue to provide as much info and results-based opinions and appreciation with each new release.

I'm also thinking about doing a special "20 Years of GoPro" - "something" this year. (Book? Blog? Video?) 🤔

Stop telling Claude “do this.”
Stop telling Claude “write code.”
Stop telling Claude “fix this error.”

You’re using an advanced AI like a junior intern.

Here are 9 Claude prompts that make it build, debug, refactor, and optimize like a senior engineer (Save this).

I'm excited to get my latest @GoPro Lineup article published tonight on @ProVideo - I even got a teaser video of the Mission 1 Pro in there! 😁

Finally got my hands on a GoPro Mission 1 Pro. 👍 Should have a review up soon.

@TechieBySA Very cool prompt workflow. 👍

[TechieSA @TechieBySA]

GPT Image 2 storyboard prompt:

“Create a Pixar 3D style character design sheet. Clean white background. Two characters side by side with a clean dividing line. Bold brushstroke-style title at the top: DAVE VS THE SHELF. Subtitle: One screw. One second. All of it gone.

LEFT SIDE — DAVE
Large name in bold black. Underneath: “He didn’t need the instructions.”
Hero portrait — Dave on clean white. Grey t-shirt, dark jeans, white trainers, reading glasses on forehead. Arms crossed, deeply satisfied.
Three poses:

- Kneeling, screwdriver in hand, instructions face down.
- Standing back, wiping forehead, shelf half built.
- Open palm, one small screw. Pride shifting to dread.
INSTRUCTION READING ░░░░░░░░░░ Did not happen
BUILD CONFIDENCE ██████████ Until the screw
SHELF INTEGRITY ░░░░░░░░░░ Retroactively zero

RIGHT SIDE — THE SHELF
Large name in bold black. Underneath: “It was always going to do this.”
Hero portrait — completed shelf on clean white. Complex asymmetric natural wood unit. Two tall tower sections, wide central section, cabinet doors with round handles, small drawers, built-in desk surface on the right. Irregular and architectural. Not a grid.
Three poses:

- Fully assembled. Every section in place. Looks permanent.
- Left tower leaning one millimeter. The beginning.
- Full collapse — sections toppling, drawers sliding, doors swinging, desk dropping last.
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ░░░░░░░░░░ Depended on that screw
REMORSE ░░░░░░░░░░ It simply fell.

BOTTOM STRIP:
Dave opening box, instructions face down · Dave mid-build, shelf half assembled, sweat on forehead · Dave stepping back, full shelf complete, satisfied nod · Overhead — Dave’s palm, one small screw, nothing else · Full collapse — sections toppling, drawers sliding, doors flying, Dave watching

HE BUILT IT PERFECTLY. HE HELD THE PROOF.

STYLE NOTES: Pixar 3D vivid rendering. White walls, cool daylight, wooden floor in strip. Wood shelf against white walls. Complex asymmetric shelf in every frame — not a grid. Maximum Pixar expression.”
