  1. Gen initial image in MJ

  2. Highlight/Edit scenery in MJ Editor

  3. Iterate Text Prompt + Generate Variants

  4. Animate in Runway

MJ ORIGINAL PROMPT: 1970s cinema car scene, shot from behind at a high angle , 2 men sitting in convertible facing away from us driving on a California street lined with palm trees, cool blue and orange color grading, 16mm vintage film --ar 5:3 --p --stylize 200 --v 6.1

MJ EDITOR PROMPT:1970s cinema car scene, [environment + details], cool blue and orange color grading, 16mm vintage film --ar 5:3 --p --stylize 200 --v 6.1

RUNWAY PROMPT: A 1970s cinema-style scene of two people talking with flowing hair in a classic convertible, shot from behind. The car interior is steady, but the background simulates motion like a vintage green screen effect, with the illusion of the car driving forward. Slight film grain and warm retro faded colors

SORA: LAUNCHING VERY SOON?

Quick note for anyone interested → Cristobal (Runway’s Co-Founder) dropped this crytpic tweet…Looks like SORA will be launching pretty soon. I’ve chatted with a few SORA testers and they can confirm the hype is real and the tool is good.

Remains to be seen…either way…be on the lookout.

RUNWAY: ADVANCED CAMERA CONTROL.

Last week Runway quietly released “Advanced Camera Control”

It has its flaws…but it’s good at certain things.

PROCESS:

  1. Create image in Midjourney

  2. Upload in RW GEN-3

  3. Select “Camera Control”

  4. Add Text Prompt

  5. Adjust Camera Motions

CAMERA MOTIONS:

  • Horizontal: Move Left or Right

  • Pan: Arc Left or Right

  • Vertical: Move Up or Down

  • Tilt: Arc Up or Down

  • Zoom: Push In or Out

  • Roll: Left or Right

MIDJOURNEY PROMPT: drone aerial shot, futuristic 5-star treehouse hotel exterior, nestled among the trees, eco-architecture luxury, sustainable, early morning shadows, bold, high-contrast, dramatic shadows, nature's symphony --ar 5:3 --p --s 200 --q 2

RUNWAY PROMPT STRUCTURE: The camera [motion] [direction], revealing [details]

RUNWAY PROMPT EXAMPLE: The camera pans left revealing an immaculate Yucatan jungle canopy, white sand beaches, crystal teal water, epic scenery

I’m currently working on a “Beginner’s Guide to Runway Gen-3” workshop.

Hopefully will be ready around end of November or early December.

CUSTOM AI WORKFLOWS: FOR YOU

Never a dull moment at SUPERSIDE.

We’ve now surpassed 2000+ PROJECTS completed with Ai

RESULTS: 50-85% Reduction in Hours → $1.4 Million Saved for Clients.

For brads like Amazon, Reddit, Google, Coinbase, Booking.com, etc…

WHY USE AI?:

  • So we get from brief-to-first-draft as rapidly as possible.

  • With key visuals/copy/ux/ui trained and tailored to brand guidelines/standards

  • Fully automated with tools like OpenAi/Claude/Flux/Figma

  • So we cut the back-and-forth time on “does this fit the brand?

  • And we focus on strategy, visual firepower, and iteration.

The best part?…If we can’t do it with Ai…we have 500+ traditionally trained world-class designers…who can do it by hand.

Have a design problem that needs solving? (We like those)

It’s worth a convo (at the very minimum).

PODCAST: MJ EXTERNAL EDITOR DEEP DIVE

Drew and I are back to our normal antics.

This time….we’re going deep into Midjourney’s new external editor + retexture.
