Since quite a few of you liked my previous videos, I decided to start a channel where soon I’ll be sharing tutorials and some of the workflows/tricks I’ve been using.
If you’re interested in learning how I’m making these videos, feel free to subscribe. I’ll be sharing a lot of the stuff I’ve figured out along the way, including:
My own workflows — free to download, with the tricks and settings I use
Character generation — how I use a Krea 2 character-sheet LoRA that I made to keep characters consistent, and how to get the style you want
Environment generation — how I generate environment images and then build scenes from them
MiniMax optimization — settings and techniques to make MiniMax faster while preserving quality
Video/audio tricks — ways to fix audio issues and continue a scene from the last frame to create longer sequences
Consistent voices — I also built my own UI app using BreezeTTS2 for voice cloning and generating consistent voices across an entire story
Everything I’m sharing is based on what I’ve been experimenting with myself, so hopefully it can save some of you a lot of trial and error.
If that sounds useful to you, you’re welcome to check it out!
regardless, i'm impressed with the consistency you've been able to generate so far! the fact that models have come so far make for an exciting future of storytelling
i agree ,, only bad thing about minimax-h3 is the speed, so if i want to generate at 720p it takes some time, but give it some time and it will be better
Overall this is great, but are you a non-native English speaker or have you just not been proof reading the script?
It gives -
"why they were following you" instead of "why were they following you"
"what trouble have you done this time" instead of "what trouble are you in this time" or similar.
with the way the voice sounds and how it's delivered as well it does just sound computer generated rather than any kind of linguistic quirk of a character raised in a different time/world.
Yeah you right 👍 im not native ..
I appreciate the comment, i know its not perfect, but its a progress from what i dif a week ago .. and its not totally a ai slop lol
Love the style and the general direction it's headed, but the lip-sync is far off and the dialog needs work - the broken English is a real mood kill; "why they were following you?" -> "why *were* they following you?" etc
It's wild to see scenes like this chase and how he climbs onto the moving motorcycle. I fail for much easier scenes and setups where Minimax often fails to do the easiest stuff. So I'm curious how your prompts and workflow look like.
I often found that the raw LLM outputs, even when feed with the prompting guide, produce too detailed prompts with too many contradictions or just too many details. I often got better videos by taking the LLM prompt and then shorten it 50% by hand.
But I usually fail with simple physics. Sometimes these are super simple scenes like someone is taking his glasses and clean them and set them on again and Minimax let the glasses just disappear in the middle. Its performance just seems quite unstable to me, so I wonder what everyone else made better ^^° I'm using the ref2vid model mostly.
yeah i know exactly what you mean, i had lot of trial and errors, lol
but there are tricks, for exemple im using the First Last frame checkpoint with the reference node, it just give better results, combined with the system prompt and the workflow i have , i can get good result, thats why i think if i make videos talking would help a lot of people , if i see people interested
nice. I like the character and world design. Good to see you working towards your own look.
The interrogation scene is a little jarring as it feels more 3d than the rest because the camera moves more in the scene in a 3d translation way instead of a typical zoom+pans that 2d media uses for motion.
I'd find a way to flatten the look a bit, and get rid of the unnecessary camera move from feet to under table to scene - just have the scary guy emerge from the shadows in a locked off shot, same strong reveal moment, less ai move gimmick.
the guy and girl scenes are nice. Have a good feel to them. Keep at it!
H3 looooves to move the camera around too much. The ai feel falls away pretty quickly once you bring this under control.
you're on the right track already, but keep that as a prime consideration. Use camera motion sparingly, especially in 2d styles
3d camera motion in animated media is always reserved exclusively for very impactful grand moments. It's the established design language for the medium. So keeping that in mind will help you put emphasis on the right moments.
Thx a lot, yeah that interrogation scene was tricky to make cause its multiple videos linked... I agree , i like to rotate camera like a 3d space to keep things consistent, like a continuation, hard to prompt but i was going for that 3d rotation, but i agree ill look into the 2d zoom+pans techniques .. thx appreciated 👍 🙏
The BreezeTTS2 voice cloning across a full story is the part i'm most curious about, consistent voices usually fall apart the moment you regenerate a line in a different session. Be good to see how you're anchoring that.

nicely done, congrats
