KLING: HOLY MOTION BRUSH.

So KLING just updated their motion brush tool.

***Spoiler alert…it’s awesome.

HERE’S A LITTLE BREAKDOWN → CHECK IT OUT

PROS:

• Good for tough shots (Ex. turning cars)

• Directional subject motion

• Multiple subjects in motion

CONS:

• Only 5s generations

• Cannot extend in Kling V1.5 (1.5 is their newest version)

• Oftentimes, only slow-mo

• A bit scientific 

MIDJOURNEY PROMPT: wide angle documentary photography, once in a lifetime photo, the human and animal co-dependence, exotic locations, vibrant award winning photography, epic scenery, photojournalism --ar 5:3 --quality 2 --p --stylize 125 --v 6.1

KLING PROMPT: the camera subtly pushes in as a young girl kisses an elephant on the head in a river, natural dynamic fluid motion of the water, cinematic style

QUICK THOUGHTS:

• Use for hard-to-describe motion

• Text prompts play a role

• Describe the camera + subject motion

• When highlighting areas…

• Consider environmental movement (water/etc)

• Still water..with moving subjects is weird

• The directional arrows can be more complex

• And it follows them pretty well

• Try “more” than straight lines

Going to test this tool a lot more…stay tuned.

KLING: VIRTUAL TRY-ON

This is an interesting direction for Kling…not sure why they added this now.

But you can now add real clothes to models + generate video.

It’s a decent tool, but it has its shortcomings.

FULL REVIEW → CHECK IT OUT

QUICK THOUGHTS:

• Clothes translate well to models (aesthetically)

• Surprisingly fast (<1 min gen)

• It nails the “basic structure” of the clothes

• However, it lacks small detail consistency

• Clothing dimensions are off

• Ex. Dress length in vid below

• More complex patterns don’t translate

• Ex. “Houndstooth”

• Graphic t-shirts are close but not exact

• Small text will be distorted

• This works better for simple items (dresses/suits)

• Would use this more as a story-telling tool

• For character consistency vs. a “product-shot”

AI VIDEO TOOLS: USE THEIR STRENGTHS

When it comes to the Ai Video tools…they all have their own strengths.

Different platforms can be used for different shots…(try multiple platforms)

HERE’S A BREAKDOWN → FULL POST.

TOOL STRENGTHS:

THOUGHTS:

• I’ve tested Kling the least 

• But I’m enjoying more and more

• (Working on some Kling specific stuff)

• It does not have to be “one” tool loyalty

• Use different tools for different shots/uses

• That doesn’t help with keeping costs low

• But KREA offers access to all (inc. Luma)…If you want to test each

• I left Luma off the list…the quality has fallen off (Just my opinion)
