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.

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

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.
HIGHLIGHTS:
