I'm a digital DP / Director with a strong focus on visual storytelling and a hands-on approach.

@claudeai new Flagship model Opus 4.8 is failing at simple tasks. Is it good at coding? Anyone tried ?

@claudeai brand new flagship Model Opus 4.8 can’t handle the simplest requests. Is it at least good at coding?

This is my Cheatcode for writing my prompts! And you can use it too! here is how...

Prompting should feel creative. But honestly, most of the time it still feels like a mess:

Tiny prompt boxes.
Broken formatting.
Copy-paste chaos.
Platforms that all work slightly differently.

That’s why I’m super excited that we at PROMPTR just launched CRAFTR 2.0.

CRAFTR 2.0 is a Browser Plugin made from AI filmmakers for AI filmmakers.
No marketing blah blah blah (ok, it is still a gamechanger). Just a tool for people who actually use these platforms every day.

Here is a simple trick I use very often in my videos to create photorealistic characters: I create them using the good old text-to-video technique. I work without any start frame in Sora 2 (not Pro) and tell it to randomly create some characters (I guide it a little bit with age, etc.). Then I generate a 20-second video with multiple characters and pick the ones I like. If necessary, I tweak them a bit in Nano Banana and upscale. Then I use these characters in Kling to create the videos.
I think you can still tell the characters are AI, but I'm REALLY looking forward to Veo 4 — I hope they'll fix this audio issue.
I would love to hear your take on this! Regarding logos AND AI voices. Save this video for later!

Spotify made a HUGE MISTAKE!!

But first: If you're an AI filmmaker, I would love to connect! Follow me, comment, and DM me if you like 🙂

I made this film because I was amazed by the new logo that just popped up on my screen today. I saw it in between all the other app icons on my phone and thought: Why do all of these icons look the same? Logos in general are starting to look kind of similar... I wish every brand had a really unique logo tbh. But well, that's another discussion!

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@mrvorlaut Haha well in the end it’s all the same, it’s really preferences I would say!

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

What’s your favorite Multimodal Platform? Invideo, freepik, Higgsfield ? Or anything completely different?

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@mrvorlaut Yes it’s CRAFTR, sorry it’s bad auto title 😅 it’s a tool that I developed with my team at @promptrstudios

Generating AI Videos & Photos in 4K makes no sense! Here is why!

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

I faked a Documentary with A.I. … Can you guess which shots are AI ?

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@Anshuman_LFC That’s interesting i didn’t know they have this moodboard feature

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@UebelhackPierre Only Higgsfield ?

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@vgtpro Is it really unlimited? 😳

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@aipromptsolutio Nice!! What did you create?

Quick Hack for AI Artists Part 27

Try generating startframes in video models not in imagemodels. Use your image prompt in Sora or Seedance and generate 4sec Clips the cinematic realness of your stills will blow your mind!

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@OlivioSarikas Yeah that makes sense! Would love to have more controls over the presets too. As these will be only prompts in the End would be handy

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@yourtarundabas @higgsfield True! The only thing is for me that it’s a bit overwhelming to use and I would love to have more controls about the models. Invideo has the best granular control, freepik is cleanest I switch constantly 😅 also when I reall need fine control I use the models directly via api

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@OlivioSarikas Oh that’s interesting!

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@eliott__mogenet @reve @veo3gemini @ElevenLabs @topazlabs These aesthetics 😳 looks really really good!!

[Simon Mayr @simonmeyer_]

@maxescu For a one shot this is crazy! The thing I like about agent one is that it can actually edit! That’s wild! I posted a video + tutorial too for a car commercial
Yesterday (not one shot though 😅🙏)
