MJ V7 COMING + HUGE AI VDEO UPDATES

Fam,

I took last week off…it was good…but I was jonesing.

Between a vacation with the family…and a trip to the hospital.

I needed to get back to normal lol.

While I was gone…looks like some stuff happened.

Here’s what we’re getting into:

1. KLING: HOLIDAY EXPLORATION

2. MIDJOURNEY: PERSONALIZATION TIPS

3. AI VIDEO: DUELING FEATURE RELEASES

4. CUSTOM AI WORKFLOWS: FOR YOU

5. PODCAST: LIVE CREATE WORKSHOP

6. MJ OFFICE HOURS

LET’S BOOGIE…

KLING: HOLIDAY EXPLORATION

This is the one time of year I get to “play around.”

No calls or meetings (plus vacation)…so I spent extended time in KLING.

Over the holidays Kling released V1.6…and it’s extremely coherent.

IF YOU MISSED IT → CHECK IT OUT

Everything from the dynamic dancing motion…to the interaction with multiple subjects. Really impressed with the leaps they’ve made.

MJ EX PROMPT: freeze motion, extreme tonal balance, female techno fans cheering, rave on the tulum beach, black hair, trendy attire, tattoos, vibacious crowd, 16mm, asymmetrical composition, sunrise, techno --ar 16:9 --p 2wwavyd --s 250 --v 6.1

KLING PROMPT STRUCTURE: hand held slow motion shot of [subject + action], the camera [motion + end result], showing her [details], focusing on [details]

KLING EXAMPLE PROMPT: hand held slow motion shot of a woman dancing in a tulum jungle rave, the camera pushes in closeup on her face, showing her losing herself in the music, focusing on her emotion in tight

QUICK THOUGHTS:

• Klings coherence is excellent

• These are fairly basic prompts

• In comparison to how far you can go

• Small details are impressive

• Natural motion is impressive

• Seems to respond well to emotion

Even with some more directed body movement…

It performs well.

KLING PROMPT: A medium-wide shot of the man reclining in a high-back chair, exuding confidence as he folds his arms and crosses one leg over the other, his cigar stays fixed in his mouth while smoke billows out of his mouth. The setting is a dimly lit bar adorned with traditional Japanese decor, featuring warm lanterns and rich wood tones. The camera smoothly pushes in closeup from a low angle, emphasizing his commanding presence. Smokey textures dramatically fill the air, adding motion to the scene. Shot on a cinematic 4K camera

MIDJOURNEY: AMPLIFYING PERSONALIZE

Personalize will play BIG ROLE in V7 (which should be here this month).

On MJ office hours this week…David said they are pushing people to utilize personalize while the adoption is still slow…but I’m a big fan the multiple profiles.

I would suggest generating a few different ones…and testing them out.

IF YOU MISSED IT → CHECK IT OUT

QUICK TIPS:

• Be intentional when ranking pairs

• For example…I have different profiles for different uses.

• My “Global Style” is super contrasty/gritty/photorealistic

• So I’ve created profiles that are focused on “softer aesthetics”

• Also profiles that are dedicated to “animation” or “fine art” styles.

• You can switch between them when you need them.

Also another tip…If you suck at staying organized (like me)…

You can find all of your old PERSONALIZE codes in Discord.

PROCESS:

1. Open Discord

2. Type "/list_personalize_codes"

3. Hit Enter

AI VIDEO: DUELING UPDATES

I go away for one damn week…and all hell breaks loose.

RUNWAY + KLING + MINIMAX all released new features.

Let’s take a look…

RUNWAY: 4K UPSCALE

• Straight-forward and useable

• Upscales Runway generated clips to 4K

KLING: PROMPTING TOOLS

• New prompt tools added to the 1.6 model featuring:

  • Comprehensive Prompt Dictionary

  • Convenient Prompt Presets Management

• Lip Sync: Now available on your uploaded videos

MINIMAX: SUBJECT REFERENCE

• Upload a character reference image

• Create a prompt and generate

• Tested it - Still a lot of bugs…not amazing…but an option

CUSTOM AI WORKFLOWS: DONE 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: WATCH THESE…SERIOUSLY

Last week Drew and I tried a NEW FORMAT…we created live on the podcast.

Going down the rabbit hole…and tried to teach while doing.
