MIDJOURNEY'S SO BACK + LUMA'S INSANE BOLT CAM.

Fam,

The industry took a deep breath this week.

Meaning…no crazy releases (ok, maybe just a few).

It gives us a chance to catch up and dive deeper.

HERE’S WHAT WE GOT TODAY:  

1. MIDJOURNEY + LUMA: PHOTOSHOOTS

2. MIDJOURNEY: REMIX IS BACK

3. CHATGPT: SKETCH-TO-IMAGE

4. SUPERSIDE: DONE-FOR-YOU CREATIVE

5. AI NEWS ROUNDUP

6. PODCAST: MJV7 DEEPDIVE

7. MJ OFFICE HOURS

LET’S BOOGIE…

MIDJOURNEY + LUMA: PHOTOSHOOT

We’re all waiting for “omni-reference” (MJ’s version of consistent characters).

So I tested some character sheets…to see the progress.

It performed very well…looks like they’re laying the groundwork.

Then threw it into Luma Ray 2 for some fun bolt-cam action.

IF YOU MISSED IT → FULL POST

PROCESS:

1. Create character sheet in MJ

2. Separate images for key frames

3. Upload keyframes into Luma

4. Add a text prompt

5. Select “bolt cam” motion

6. Generate

PROMPT STRUCTURE: Photo type: character sheet, split into 3 photos, shot from multiple angles, Shot Type: studio portrait, Color Tone: [COLORS], Background: white, solid, Texture: smooth, Subject Focus: [SUBJECT + DETAILS], Mood: [ATMOSPHERE], Fashion: [WEARING], Accessories: [ACESSORIES], Facial Expression: [DETAILS], Lighting: direct flash --ar 3:2 --p --v 7

EX PROMPT: Photo type: character sheet, split into 3 photos, shot from multiple angles, Shot Type: studio portrait, Color Tone: high-contrast, bright highlights, Background: white, solid, Texture: smooth, Subject Focus: girl, tan skin, blue hair pony tail, playful pose, Mood: lively, carefree, Fashion: oversized muted gray t-shirt, thigh-high leggings, Accessories: minimalist jewelry, oversized sunglasses, Facial Expression: puckered lips, Lighting: direct flash --ar 3:2 --p --v 7

LUMA THOUGHTS:

I have slept on Luma for too long…

The creative controls + iteration is great

It’s user-friendly for beginners + 1080p output is a plus.

LUMA PROMPT: bolt cam shot of a model posing in fun and bold poses. Carefree and confident. Natural dynamic motion.

FUN FORMAT:

The character-sheet to bolt cam is a great format.

You could probably use real photoshoot images + play with it.

So I had to goof around with some more ridiculous stuff (of course).

MIDJOURNEY: BRINGS BACK “REMIX”

Remix was missing from Midjourney’s initial V7 roll-out.

Didn’t take long to get it back…and it was worth the wait.

IF YOU MISSED IT → CHECK IT OUT

PLAY WITH: 

• Create a base image (w/o moodboards/sref/etc)

• Then use “remix strong”

• Add a moodboard/sref img/sref code

• And run it.

ORIGINAL PROMPT: editorial photo of the pope --chaos 5 --ar 3:4 --p --stylize 500

REMIX PROMPT: editorial photo of the pope --chaos 5 --ar 3:4 --profile rj6wbiu ihhlg73 mc9ebw2 --stylize 500 --v 7

BONUS SREF CODE:

This is one is just fun…figured i’d drop it here.

SREF CODE: --sref 1497823114

CHATGPT 4o: SKETCH TO IMAGE

Going to keep ChatGPT in the newsletter for a while.

(There’s just too many uses for it.)

In this case, I needed help on a YouTube thumbnail.

And decided using a “sketch” would be easier than describing the image.

CHECK IT OUT → SKETCH TO IMAGE

PROCESS:

1. Sketch in Figma 02.

2. Generate in GPT

FIGMA SKETCH:

CHATGPT PROMPT: [Paste Sketch] Can we create an image of 2 fists in the foreground of the screen. Sharp detail and defined natural skin. There is a superbowl ring on each finger containing one letter. The rings read "VERSION7" from left to right. Super photorealistic. White studio background with soft diffused light with high contrast. From left to right: Pinky finger: "V" Ring finger: "E" Middle Finger: "R" Index Finger: "S" Index Finger: "I" Middle Finger: "O" Ring Finger: "N" Pinky Finger: "7"

AI CREATIVE AT SCALE: DONE FOR YOU

BIG things are happening at SUPERSIDE.

We’ve now surpassed 4000+ 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).
