All these demo videos make HEAD SWAPPING with Nano Banana look so easy, but then you give it a try and you're like... uh... what? Why didn't that work? Here's what I've found. Nano Banana reads your image, almost literally, so if you write on the image, it reads the text. This is how @higgsfield_ai has capitalized on the tech: "Write on the image" and give it direction, right? Totally true, but you don't need Higgi to write on your image. Nano Banana will understand your direction regardless of where you write on your image. On one hand, Higgi is really smart, because they're hranessing the tech in a unique way, but the whole "Higgsfield's Banana Placement" is a bit of a misnomer. It's more of a "Banana Placement" and Higgi is just giving you a sort of basic Photoshop-type tool to work with (again, pretty smart), but the real tech is the Banana. 🍌 This is how I head swapped heads in @runwayml, but Nano Banana maintains the aesthetic qualities of your image almost perfectly, whereas Runway Reference spits out a very Gen-4 looking image. I like using Nano in @freepik, mainly because it's fast and I can get 4 gens at a time, and you need to gen a dozen times of so before you get a winner (most of the time). I was pumped when I saw Freepik introduce the @ reference feature, just like Runway has, but it doesn't seem to work for head swapping. My guess is because that's not really how Nano Banana tech works... ideally. @ai_artworkgen is the person I saw using this "A" and "B" method, back when Nano was on LM Arena, and man-oh-man, it just works... like a charm. You need experiment with how much of the face you blot out, and the angle and facial expression of your new head if you want the blend to be perfect. All of the results in this video are 100% Nano Banana. I did not do any Photoshop work to the images after the fact. I really hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help. And I'll keep posting videos like this if you guys find them useful. Let me know!

.@higgsfield_ai says, "Unlimited Kling and Unlimited Nano Banana for 365 days", but what they really mean is... Unlimited Kling until Sep. 11th, and unlimited Nano Banana for 365 days when you pay $249 a month. Just so you know. Also, product placement is definitely not solved with Nano Banana, or any feature within Higgsfield, although it is becoming much easier. Products are often incredibly complex, with small text and thin distinct lines in the logos, and brands demand that agencies perfect their branding, 100%. It is definitely possible, but Photoshop and Illustrator are still necessary to lean on for most products, in conjunction with Nano Banana and Flux. A great way to hold your products together in video is to create your first and last frame, ensuring the branding is perfect in both. Kling and Hailuo do an incredible job of holding logos together with frame to frame videos. That's been a big game-changer for me and the brands I serve. Hope this helps!

Over the shoulder reverse shots in Nano Banana are easy, right? I would say YES and NO. Most important part: YOU GOTTA FLIP IT! In this video I show the results AND how to, but keep in mind, it really, really depends on your shot, primarily your environment. Some will be easy, others hard. However, the principles in this tutorial should hold up. Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Dialogue shots genned with Veo 3 Quality and Leo's shots genned with @Kling_ai 2.1

I see a lot of online posts about 🍌 Nano Banana 🍌 making ANYTHING POSSIBLE, and all you do is CLICK & BOOM, but it's not that simple. There are lots of ways to get incredible results, but nothing is ever as simple as it seems, so... In the coming weeks, I'm going to break down some of the key ways to get the most out of Nano Banana, like head/face swapping, product placement (and yes, I mean your obscure product loaded with small print text), scene blocking, and more.

Nano Banana in @Photoshop Beta vs. Nano Banana in @freepik. It's definitely nice to have the Banana in Photoshop Beta, but as you can see, it does have it's limits. A little Harmonizing and light masking and we're cookin'. That said, it's really, really nice to have it as an alternative to Firefly Image 3, and even Flux when it comes to the generative fill feature. I don't see the ability to upload or reference images (hopefully that's coming soon), but let me know what you find. Freepik is where I typically gen with Nano, and to be honest I'll probably stick to that for now. The incredibly inappropriate censorship aside (seemingly on Google's side), Nano in Freepik is still my go-to. If Nano simply refuses to gen, insisting on censoring, I've started using Seedream 4.0 4K and Qwen and I've been pretty happy with the results. Seedream can be used through Freepik and I'm using @Alibaba_Qwen through @fal.

Okay, @Magnific_AI Precision v2 (sublime) is a thing of beauty. Think I'll put a pause on my @topazlabs sub and switch back to the Magnific upscaler for a while.

I used to only make films in 16:9, or 2.35:1, but seeing as so many views are mobile, I wanted to create a few micro-films in 1:1 and 9:16, and I really like the restriction. Here's "The Seal" in 1:1 • • @Kling_ai 1.6 • • #AIshortfilms #GenerativeAI #GenerativeArt

I know everyone loves @midjourney, but I have a hard time seeing it as a serious tool for filmmaking, purely because of it's insatiable need to censor.

Change Your Camera Angles: 👊Qwen vs. Nano Banana. 👊 I hear a lot of people saying, "Finally, we can move our camera around in a scene with Qwen!" And that's true. But you've definitely been able to do this with Nano Banana, it's just more work. However, the 🍌offers far more control. I wanted to do a comparative analysis: Qwen vs. Nano Banana (on @freepik). What do you think? Who's the winner? I believe Nano Banana 2 is about to drop. Who knows... maybe this tutorial will be dated by the end of the day🤞 Qwen: huggingface.co/spaces/linoyts…

My first #Gen48 experience was a blast. @runwayml giving all of us a taste of their new Reference Frames was brilliant. I'm telling you, it's incredible, and it was the only way I was able to create consistent characters and scenes. 4K version: youtube.com/watch?v=19Dpbw…

The 3 stages of grief with Nano Banana on @freepik

Anyone else weeping uncontrollably in the corner of the shower because fast Nano Banana's are no longer free on @freepik, and now you have to fork over $250 for the Pro account? I'm asking for a friend.

Finally! With @Hailuo_AI 02 you can now prompt violence. No more dancing around the prompt. @Kling_ai, @runwayml, @LumaLabsAI, and @midjourney really need to remove their unreasonable prompt moderations if they want filmmakers to make films with their platforms. Prompt 👇 One man punches the other man in the face and knocks him out. [Static shot]

I was just asked, "What's the best place to do a face swap," so I thought I'd share that here. Hope it helps. Short answer, @runwayml Reference. Thread 👇 #FaceSwap

It seems a lot of AI platforms don't really listen to their customers, so it's refreshing to see @freepik respond to us with genuine consideration when we voice concerns. Shoutout to @martinleblanc, @agustin_prod, @ompemi, and @cuenca. Appreciate you guys.
